Tiger 1

A long time ago when the Duck was still a chick, he asked to make a german Tiger 1 tank from WW2. It wasn't my favorite but I couldn't refuse LBD's request in the end. Without Alex's meticulous control work, it was the least I could do.

The drawing which you can buy to make this one is on my website, and there is also a breakdown video made by LBD. 

Made out of mainly Yellow poplar, some Merbau, Oak and Beech. 

The turret can rotate, the gun can be tilted and the tracks and wheels are moveable. In addition, the tank is equipped with a light spring suspension.

T(h)ank(s) for watching.

Oh my goodness! That's awesome. Lots of meticulous work there Dutchy! Beautiful work!!
Really excellent! I remember making mine from an Airfix kit around 65 years ago!  Happy memories. 

Turned out great... You have managed what other model designers claimed "too difficult", Herr Rommel,

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

Real nice.  I am patiently waiting for the stagecoach and the Corsair plans to come out.  

Nice job Dutchy and well done to LBD as well. When I finish my current assignment I will have to give this one a go.
Thanks for sharing. 
Great work!

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

That's a very tidy Tiger even with Uncle Fester in control

After a weekend of out of the office 😉😊 I would like to thank you for the responses!

But I was NOT glad with my pictures on the Tiger LBD, and especially not when RobsCastle compared me to uncle Festor. In my experience that was a nasty comparison. 

French Goat Toys I,m sorry but that's not in the cards for the time being.

If the Corsair is about a plane I first would make a Fokker.
A plan about a stagecoach you can find at:

Not nasty at all... Uncle Fester was my favorite family member,  he used to

light up my life. 
I didn't like the hand (Thing) as he spoke too much.

Hell Dutchy, I look at that 1st picture and imagine the debate we had so long ago about this tank... I keep coming back here... you have done a brilliant job (and I'm not pissing in your pants) with the model.

C'mon you guys... forget I'm involved and give that Dutchman the kudos he deserves... hell, he designed it all from my druthers.

Can't thank you enough... (uncle)!
