Default 1/2 scale projects next?

Now that's a big 'model'! 1/2 scale Tiger with a 3-cylinder diesel.

Damn thats ugly... they've actually managed to make a "Tiger" uglier than the typical T34-based ones ala Saving Private Ryan

Now that's cool.... ya I know it's not accurate but still a little work and it could be. I wouldn't say no if he was to give it to me I would take it in a heartbeat

its not bad at all since it is used for paintballing. course i was a little like *** when he said he had been making models of tanks for a long time. with that i think " come on, your a modeler, at least be some what accurate" be meh, its still cool. I have expected him to turn on an alarm at the end when he pointed at it with what looked like a remote.. . i would put one on just for that goober factor.

Just thought of sharing, this guy name Dave in Australia is building a
2.5 scale M60 and he already has a 2.5 scale Sherman tank.

I'm following his videos regularly since it began with great interest.

Thats about 10 mins from where I live. I nearly crash my car every time I pass it because I'm trying to see what they've got in.

with that much work on a very nice running Tiger, he could have at least made the turret and gun a wee bit more to scale. It looks like scheiße as representing a Tiger.[:'(] With that suspension it would be a great T-34. [>:]I'd like to buy it and reconfigure the turret, and probably put a 12 ga shotgun in the bore for black powder blanks.
