A newcomer to the hobby, Ron says he’s been modeling about six months. Tamiya’s 1/35 scale King Tiger is the second armored vehicle he’s ever built. “I didn’t really depict the model any specific way, just wanted it to look interesting and have as much fun as possible,” he says. “I did this one because I wanted to further my skills beyond the first one, which had many mistakes, and it’s just one of the coolest-looking armored vehicles around.”
