discussion 1/16 HENG LONG TIGER I 'HERTA' FULLY FINISHED-HONEST!

[eddiesolo]

Calling this one finished, all had a protective matt coat and the flag and pennant added. There is a bucket and some chains to add but that is all.


So here she is, first time under her own power. But she also spies something on her first run...a bunker, is it derelict or does it have a nasty surprise?

Looks great Si, I bought one of these for my youngest son years back, just wondering if he's still got it


Seriously though, it looks superb mate, great job

 

[peterairfix]

Nice build (and the nasty surprise could be si with his rust paint)

 

[Guest]

Great build and paint job.


The weathering is spot on.

 

[flyjoe180]

Nice job Si, your Tiger looks much better now you've added your touches to it. As for that armed clock, take it out.

 

[Lee W]

I've just 'clocked' to what's going on!


That bunker does look 'alarmed!'


Its all a 'barrel' of laughs


Yeah ok...I've timed out...I'll get me coat


Great build though Si

Great looking Tiger Si!

 

[eddiesolo]

Thank you guys, really pleased you like it.

Right, the tank was finished but I was awaiting some accessories so, apart from maybe replacing the headlights at some point, she is all finished!


She has got her chains on, the obligatory bucket-painted in tropical, ropes, helmets-again in tropical, cloth roll, chock block wood, c-hooks attached to the back deck, 'Wasser' (water), long range tank attached to the rear deck side. I also added a large frying pan...well, the lads need something to fry up their Bratwurst

Si

That is amazing work,the detail and weathering is perfect.


I really like it


All aspects of the build is just fantastic

 

[john i am]

Great work Si there's one of these tigers in our house somewhere I might have a look for it now!


Let's "face"it that bunker gun looks good and I can see you had a great "time" doing it I hope the gunner in the tank has his trigger "fingers" ready.

 

[yak face]

Love it Si , it really looks like it means business! as for the clock cannon is it swiss? , if thats how their tanks looked then its no wonder they decided to stay neutral!! cheers tony

 

[monica]

love it,great weathering and the overall look is just cool,


your done so very well with this one,great work,

 

[Guest]

That's fantastic Si - looks like it could take on some full-size tanks!

 

[eddiesolo]

Thanks guys, looks so much better now I have added the bits and bobs.

 

[eddiesolo]

As you know, I finished this and then found some upgrade parts-being waiting for them to arrive and then fit.


Fitted: New headlamps with proper cover, armoured transmission plates-inner fronts, correct top hull vent (next to jacking block), aerial fitted in correct position and painted-old RC aerial position (rear engine middle) plugged up and painted, turret vision slits cut out. rear convoy light-painted in blue, front machine gun now has scale butterfly clamps at either side for the cover to fasten, hull periscopes fitted and a 2.4Ghz upgrade board so she now handles so much nicer with better sound.


So, here she is, finally finished!
