Hi guys its been a while, but this project has taken me a while to complete.

I decided to venture in to 1/35 scale and ended up doing the Tamiya tiger, I have used figures from alpine miniatures, and if you haven’t had these before get some, they are fantastic.

The farmhouse is a plaster kit, and the tiger has real metal tracks, which are very fiddly, but when completed give it the right look on the weighted tracks.

Any way enjoyView attachment 55073View attachment 55074View attachment 55075View attachment 55082View attachment 55083View attachment 55084View attachment 55085View attachment 55086View attachment 55087View attachment 55088View attachment 55089View attachment 55090

Hi Mike!

I understand why you take a while to complete it... It's a fantastic little scene!!

All the colors are pretty nice, the figures are fantastic and your "dry brush" give at all the set a very nice sensation of reality! Top job,5*.

Cheers. Polux

Very nicely done. There is nothing in, what is a busy scene, there that look as though it was put there for the sake of it, everything looks just right and natural. Great piece of work.

I totally agree with ole, such work as yours Mike should have a build progress so we can all learn new techniques and ideas how to do things.

You do realise you are now well and truly cornered?

Merry Christmas.
