if you're looking for a walkaround, you can find a Tiger II on the FFSMC.

No, no variant of the Tiger I wore skirts never.

Thanks for all the input. I decided to add the armor, along with some other items, to my Tiger. Since it has no basis on reality, I decided to name the model "The Tiger That Never Was". If nothing else it was a fun excercise in adding scratchbuilt pieces.

We're living in a world that's been pulled over our eyes to blind us from the truth. Where are you, white rabbit?

Ya know, IPMS contests have classes for "theoretical" ideas like yours so hang on to it! Cheers,

The Keeper (of too much crap!)

Will you show any photo? It would be nice to see...
