Global Scale Modeller

Thanks Mike for your contribution to the community and all that you have taught me. This is my second armour build ever. I consider myself an aircraft builder but since this GB started my armour stash has grown fast. Really enjoyed this build. I really enjoyed building the diorama base. There will be many more armour builds/dioramas in my future . As I have many thoughts, ideas and plans in my head.

Thank you, Devon & James for heading this SIG !!!!!!

Tiger 142 arrived in Tunisia 27 November 1942.


She was destroyed in an airstrike on 28 February 1943, in the Battle for Beja.(Hunt's Gap Valley)

That's one brilliant piece of work there. Congrats mate.

Superb work Robert!
Nicely done my friend. If this is a sign of your armour builds to come we're all in for a treat.

That's very cool looking. Btw, where can you get those plaques made?

Thanks MIke . You and Hamlikar plus others , have inspired me into building armour. Tracks still scare me though ! Always liked armuor but was afraid to build them. Floodgates are open now.....

An absolutely stunning dio Robert! You should be very proud to display this beauty.

The dio looks absolutely stunning. Great idea and great execution! You have something in every corner to rest my eyes at and drool.

Seriously, does that look like an airstrike to you? That neat hole in the turret side was caused by a Churchill. Tiger 142 was blown up, twice, after it was abandoned, but the knockout was a tank strike.

Now, a word about the build. It is clear that you had some trouble getting the tracks to fit? That's because they are both the wrong way around.

David i think you seriously need to cool your jets and loose a bit of the attitude mate, this is a friendly forum and that wont be tolerated.

Great looking build and dio Sir. Every time I see a tiger (1 or 2), I always feel sorry for the allied tank units. Those things were the ultimate big cats!!

Great stuff.
