discussion 1/87 Tigers on the Prowl

[minitnkr]

Buildings were initially assigned to Dornot dio, but the plan has changed so they will be completed & used here w/ArsenalM Tiger IIs and others maybe.

Tigers on the prowl! Can't wait for this one...

 

[Steve Jones]

"and other's"!! Sounds intriguing. Look forward to seeing what you do on this one Paul. Good luck

 

[minitnkr]

Thanks guys. Working the tigers-cooling grill screens, MG mounts & guns.

Hi Paul,

Off and at it again I see. With the Kibri's and the space, you can go a little crazy here. Tiger's are looking good and that bottle of Micro Krystal Klear looks older than my 25 year old bottle does.

HHHmmm...…..Maybe a Schwimmwagen and a couple of troops???

 

[Si Benson]

Coming on nicely Paul. A couple of half tracks loaded up with troops to accompany perhaps...although it’s more likely you’d do a whole army group:smiling5:

 

[Guest]

Paul.
Sitting at the front, will there be rubble, ooh I hope so.:smiling:
Like the set up, as Si says most likely a whole army as well.

Well, while seeking some Tiger II fenders for these Tigers, I came upon an unfinished diorama from years past. So this will go on hold until I finish up this newfound dio (Blacksmith's Shop). PaulE

Paul, I saw your other post first then this one. This one answered my question and wow this is right up my street!

[Steve Jones]

Will pop over and have a look Paul. Dont forget about this one as it has a lot of potential for a dio base.:thumb2::thumb2:

 

[PJR]

Just asking, why do they need more fenders? A new C.O. with the wrong priorities?

 

[minitnkr]

Well, the Jagdtiger is a few inches longer than the Tiger II and I somehow mixed up the fenders. I guess I can just leave them off. At any rate I've separated them & their associated parts having now two short pltns of three each. Haven't decided on which to use yet.:thinking: PaulE

 

[PJR]

Hm.. understood. Shoulda known that about the Jagdtigers being longer

 

[minitnkr]

A couple ideas. Tigers on the Prowel I

C&Cs welcomed. PaulE

 

[Mini Me]

Either is ok with me. Are your J-tigers Arsenal M as well as the Tigers? 250s look good no matter where you put them.:smiling3:
Bottom dio looks familiar, did you do this one at MM?
Cheers, Rick H.

 

[minitnkr]

Thanks Rick. Yes, both are ArsenalM, love those 250s, and yes, the base & buildings were used in several dios before. Sharp eye. PaulE

 

[Mini Me]

I'm beginning to rethink dios as something that can be reusable rather than a one time purpose. At the cost of buildings in this scale I understand your motives.
Cheers, Rick H.:thumb2:

 

[PJR]

Do both! :smiling3:

 

[BigGreg]

that's a massive display of firepower...

 

[minitnkr]

Thank you gentlemen. I think I will. PaulE
