Scratchbuilt Tiger 1 PICS!!!!

Pretty cool AM, nice job.

Yeah...great job.

Nice work!

Thanks ArmorMaster, but I already knew this site.
Its OK but when you have the books by Thomas L. Jentz there is nothing new there.

Well, this is the best I could find. It won't have detailed instructions and drawings like the other link, but it's a start. Hope it helps. http://www.worldwar2aces.com/

Thanks scorn and thanks everyone for the comments!!!

That RULES! Super, super job! That is a great scratchbuild, no matter what the medium!

Nice site ArmorMaster.
Is there a site like this on the Tiger II ????

QUOTE: Originaly posted by Mourningstar Here's an idea for the treads on you next one. Try using some layered tape with like tooth pick or cut popcicle sticks.

Yeah, I think the treads look a little cheesy too. It's all 2D and flat, so I'll have to try doing that sometime. Thanks!

QUOTE: Origninaly posted by monrad Have you also done some interior detail in cardboard.

No, this is my first time using cardboard to scratchbuild anything. I decided to use cardboard because I had no sheet styrene left, and I wanted to try to scratchbuild something out of cardboard like my Grandfather did. I always use sheet styrene to scratchbuild the interiors if I want to do the interior. Thanks!

QUOTE: Originaly posted by jimq very nice for cardboard have you worked out how much this kit will retail for????

Thanks, but I think someone's going to want to stick with Revell's or Hasegawa's 1/72 Tiger. Intresting Idea though, Thanks!

QUOTE: Originaly posted by Build22 Did you have plans or is that off the cuff ?

Well, sort of. Is anybody wondering why it's a 1/70 tiger? Thats because I took one of my built Tamiya tigers in 1/35 and I measured the lengths of whatever I needed and divided it by two. So if a measurement was 4 centimeters on the Tamiya Tiger, then on the scratchbuilt tiger it would be 2 centimeters. I also went to this site for a little help too-REALLY cool site! http://tiger1.info/topicIndexEN.html

Thanks everyone for the comments!!!
