RE: Hello from Singapore
Hello and welcome! Love your tanks, especially the Tiger I (have screenshots of it saved to my hard drive). Could you tell me what you used for the base coat on your Tiger I please (like the panzer grey).

RE: Hello from Singapore
Hi, thanks. Its the kit specified Tamiya XF-63, with Tamiya gray primer base coat and matt clearcoat finishing. Some weathering had been applied to the tank to give it a bit more character.

RE: Hello from Singapore
We try to play once a month, when we have at least four tankers to get a 2 vs. 2 game going.Being in the tropics, we get rained out quite often.
We only managed 3 or 4 for 2012, but2013 has been much better - we had a monthly game since the start of the year.
We rotate between two primary fields which are public parks with carpet grass (Zoysia japonica for you gardener types) which give better mobility than other broadleaf grasses:
This is the open field - for open Kursk-style battles. Slewed turrets and good situational awareness is required because there's very few opportunities for cover
This is the alternate field, shrubs which are similar to Normandy bocage, or even function like battles through the streets of Stalingrad or Berlin. Small tanks with short barrels like the Sherman 105mm or Pz IV have a definite advantage here.

Nice pictures and thanks for sharing them.

RE: Hello from Singapore
We brought some homemade hedgehogs to the field to deny/delay certain advance routes. By mutual arrangement four of us each brought a Panther to make up a platoon. They didn't fare well against 6 opponents though!
One of our guys debuted his Hooben T-55. It looked great and ran very well.
Here's a comparison of the T-55A against the ZTZ-99A and Leopard 2A6. Really keen for HL to release their Challenger 2 to complete a quartet.
Turnout of 12 tanks and 10 drivers for this round.

Back to those belly plates, those look really nice.
Do you plan to sell any new parts in the future? I think almost any tank would benefit from them.
And by the way, your club has some pretty awesome looking tanks too!
