^{You haven't seen the last of me yet guys.}

^{Been doing other stuff lately.}

^{Here's something I got last week and thought I'd take a quick stab at it.}stuff here this morning.

Here we go............

Got in a bit of a hurry and just didn't take enough time to take a lot of progress pictures, but here's what I have.

There's not a lot of pieces to this kit but by the time I got done I think I doubled the parts count. The Culin device came out pretty nice and the glacis stowage board (a tiny piece of painted plastic strip) added to the eye appeal.

Twelve pieces here ⬇

Had a lot of fun getting silly with it.....

Got it screwed to the base so as not to lose it in a puff of wind.

Hope yall get a bang outta that "big gun".

Here comes a "TEX" message ...

Have a great Sunday!

Terrifying, I almost messed myself when I seen it. Had it been on the battlefield OMG I would run for my life. Dynamite comes in small packages too. What a great fun little build.

Thank you, John.

Actually, this is the third one that I'm aware of on this site. It's a very simple kit and an opportunity to add some extra stuff just to make it interesting without having to worry about accuracy. A fun build sure to bring smiles upon completion.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Yeah, that bigazz gun coming down the road would surely put some serious butt paste in your huggies.

Next up will be something more serious.

I whittled that skull out about 16 years ago in anticipation of using it at some future point in time. Finally came in handy.

You just gotta give one of these a try. Every thing is a perfect fit. It's relaxing to have a truly leisure project to toy with. You learn something new every time.

Egg planes, Egg tanks, Egg ships... they’re nothing new but they’ve been around for a while. Fun cute toylike kits to build without worrying about accuracies. Well done.

No matter what direction I view it from, that skull is starring directly at me !

I had no idea that WWII tank's had "motion sensing equipment".

( must have "Freaked" the enemy out .... hard to reload when your being starred down by that . Shhhhh .... Dont move ...... he's looking our way.....)

Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"

Heavy German Armor next? Do Tigers lay "Eggs"? Might be just the thing for your Tex to send a "message" to.

Nice Job. That is the first "Tank" I've seen in this 'Egg' Format. Thanks.

Hey Tigerman!

This was borderline for me. I initially was going to do a whitewash finish on it. I can do clean, but ......

(thanks, Mick).

Being that you are the original "Tigerman"....you need to try the "Tiger I" toon tank. Nothing like an "88" for motivation.

Almost isn't getting it. Try one out and use your imagination.

They aren't that much and really don't have that many pieces. I added a lot of extra parts to mine.

Thanks for checking in.
