Stuart Cook's King Tiger -New 1/6/05
Stuart completed the Tamiya full option King Tiger, the tank was zimmeritted using an auto body filler(very messy) and running a comb through it. The turret, cupola, armor exhaust protectors etc were given a more rough cast texture using a dremel with round headed burr. The lifting lugs on the exhaust protectors were made from sprue and flattened using my pyrograph and hatch handles. Light cable etc were made from brass wire. In addition, the tank is equipped with metal tracks and a camo scheme based on that of the tanks of the Heavy Panzer Battalion 503

Eric Scott's Tiger
His Tiger is modeled after the first Tiger to be captured, one of the first four pre-production sent to the Russian front in 1942. This was later displayed at the in the Central Recreation and Culture Park named after M. Gorky. Moscow, June 1943.

The slots for extra tracks are clearly seen at the lower front plate of the hull, as well as a horseshoe welded to the front armor plate "for luck" and no escape hatch. The storage bin has not been added yet.
