Looking good.

I like the touch with the canted fume extractor. It may not actually work anymore as a fume extractor but adds a different and gangster style canted pistol look.

You mean that these three front "flaps" on each engine of podracer are fume extractors? I thought that they're kind of airbrakes. Anyway , on this Tiger these canted flaps are airbrakes :)

LOL I'm no pod racer expert! I hated Episode I!

The fume extractor is the tube wrapped around the gun barrel.

Diggin' the stabiliser (??) panels. :)

That's coming along like gangbusters! Big main gun, wicked engines, stabilizer panels and a very cool gat on top! Outstanding!

You have invented a new genre of armor modeling.
Totally too cool

WOW :) Maybe a group build in future ? For example : "JMN's nightmare" ?

"Digging" as in "liking" or "enjoying".

Forbidden whiff experiments on Tiger tank - ACT III

Cool tank, looks like something out of WH40K, Imperium meets Tau in a design

taiidantomcat · « **Reply #41 on:** July 14, 2012, 11:12:57 AM »

Wow!!!

Forbidden blasphamous whiff experiments on Tiger - act IV

Tiger is weathered , with dust and rust , decals are on , matt cote will come on monday :)
So...now only a good base is needed. My plan is to use this:
http://militarymodels.co.nz/2012/02/18/new-from-miniart-country-road/
http://www.mojehobby.pl/products/Accessories-and-Guns.html
http://www.mojehobby.pl/products/US-Combat-Group.html
http://www.mojehobby.pl/products/U.S.-TANK-CREW.html

Of course I'll add a tree and more natural grass :) Maybe a boxes with gold

Hi!

Still nothing more to show. I bought these sets:
http://www.model-making.eu/products/VILLAGE-ROAD-w-RUINED-HOUSE.html
http://www.mojehobby.pl/products/Accessories-and-Guns.html

I've never build anything vac-formed before. I've always known that is difficult but I've never thought how much. Also...surprisingly I've spotted two resin figure sets by Jaguar Models:

http://www.jaguarmodels.com/ppics/ja63134.gif

I hope that I'll get them this week :)

I apologize for not coming back to look in on this one sooner. The way you've hung the road wheels under the skirts reminds me of the "hovercraft" from the Matrix series. I love the way it's coming along.
