Time to wrap up the Tiger. The finishing touches were to add it to the base and add the 4 figures, from Miniart and Master Box. The one thing that i can't get over with this secen, despite all the advances in military tech over the decades, one thing has not changed. Modern tanks look very much the same as they did in WW2, but we now have thermal imaging, stabilised guns and all the advances in armour, tank tracks today are exactly the same. The method for fitting the track in this scene is exactly the same one that we used on our Warriors, other than we used a fabric rope rather than a metal one. The perfect example of if somthing works, leave it.

Thanks for following along. i am really pleased with how this has turned out. I have had this dio in mind for years and its come out exactly as i pictured it.

This is my last build of the year, looking forward to seeing what 2020 has in store.

The Tiger and figs definitely look the business.  The ground work on this one is probably my favorite thus far.

I've always thought that you did good work. But, this time I think you've taken it to a whole new level. This is one impressive vinette. Simply awe inspiring.

Excellent scene! I too have always wanted to depict such a scene myself. 

Your figures are getting much improved, Bish. Good clean lines are a fabulous start.

The tiger looks amazing!

Bish - this is absolutely outstanding. You chose a really interesting theme and it turnout out very special. The figures and their positions / poses really tell the story.  Gotta love a classic Tiger I that looks as super as yours. Congrats on a spectacular dio!
