And remember, he who dies with the most toys wins!

You have found yourself the right club!
Welcome!

Cyno wipe and cyno remover. Learned something there. Thank you!

I meant the small scale stuff with beautiful scenery, buildings and trees where the owners have invested decades in delicate detailing. Cats often like those layouts.

We are a lot better off than the model railroaders...

Overdoing things is an interesting topic. :D I replaced 80 kg of lead batteries (150Ah) with 11 kg of lithium (60Ah). The model came out way too light after that, so I put some of the lead batteries back (as many as I could fit...) as ballast. After all, prototypical weight of a tiger 1 is 250 kg. (...

Good strategy Ross! 1 Get the lifting table (you will need it from basic hull assembly and forward) and save up to the batteries and charger for later. 2 Measure the available space, plan the layout and order cells or batteries accordingly. It came on to me to do just a quick space check before clic...

I am also not sure which route is best. I did it the Gerhard way and happy with that. Either way, I think you will find that the height of the batteries/cells is a challenge. My charger is capable of pushing 54A into the battery. So if you opt for a smaller capacity, a ten minute pit stop goes a lon...

Fantastic job Simon!

It is feasible, especially on a hard floor at an indoor convention. Grass drains the batteries considerably more. Smoke adds to the drain. My smoker draws about 3,5 A max and produces decent volumes. Sound can be a killer if you go all in. A friend of mine has some hundred W and it draws 11 A when t...

A turret was a dangerous place at all times, and if you did not watch out, the turret monster would get you.

It got both my tiger 1 forward deck hatches...

So most probably I will do another late turret ventilator just for fun.

I think the Vince Cutajar line would sell very well indeed.

W-o-w!

I like the hoses. I like everything, but have had quite a struggle with the hoses myself, so can relate to that. Did you make them yourself in some supersoft material? They look so relaxed?

Awesome!

As Adrian says, these are the symptoms of a battery emitting the last few electrons.

Stephen is entirely wrong ! The tiger is not over-hyped at all. The tiger is the most interesting tank of all times. A zillion people have modeled it, but he is right that yours does stand out in every respect. And like the work of a true master, it seems so easy and effortless. Yet, if one tries to...

An elefant! Your tank parking should be pretty impressive by now!
I am looking very much forward to following this build.
