Your Tiger is looking really good so far. That's some nice PE work. Any particular Tiger or battalion you have in mind?

To Dragan:
This is not a new kit,but i think it is really a classic model.
Nice details,easy to assemble,almost perfect.

[Stuke Sowle]

Fanstastic PE work, very clean.....

Looking forward to seeing it painted.

[update-4/6/2005]Working for workable tracks

[James Tainton]

Looks good!
I wonder why your pics take so long to load in-and I have cable internet!?

[Donovan]

Nice work Hu, I really like the toothpick shovel handle. Why not do that for more of your tools? Or did you?

And you have far more patience than I to spend as much time as you did on those tracks.

Cheers,
Christopher

Deleted most pics for a submission.sorry

[Dragan]

Great especcialy weathering on lower hull !!! Like it ! :thumb:

[Stuke Sowle]

Very nice job!!

[stevo]

I like your Tiger and you did a good job on those Academy indi links (I gave up on them, but wish I hadn't after I saw you got them working).
I know why you dropped the smoke pots off but I would, if I was you, place some marks to show where they had been :). One other thing to help you out is you are going to have to add parts A53 as they are not optional. Apart from that I like your paint work and weathering.

[houdini]

Thank you for your replies,guys.

Some pics for fun. :)

to James:
It cost so much time to load because the album-server locate in China.

to Steve:
Yes,I know what you mean.
the smoke pots & A53 part is my faults. Unfortunetly,It is hard to correct now.
By the way,The tracks cost me 25+ hours to work,so the ModelKasten must be a better choice.

[KingTiger]

Awesome Tiger. It really makes you wanna run for cover. Excellent work. You did a really nice job with the PE and weathering.
