Hessler's King Tiger (original post)

LOL, 13b20!
As Marvin the Martian would say, “you’re making me very angry!”
And as Dr. Banner would say, “you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry!”[;)][:)]

Well, I suppose that ol’ pipe will just have to be relegated to the “what the heck was that supposed to be?” file![^]

Larry, here’s my original Hessler’s King Tiger post . It was WAY on back there!

Check it out and let me know what ya thiink!.

One thing I’ve discovered since I built it was that the studs on the turret bustle to accept the stowage bin appear to be drilled out (or tapped, I suppose) in some references of M-47s I’ve seen recently. Even so, I’m pretty sure they’re solid on Hessler’s buggy, from what I can see on the video. Perhaps somebody filled them in, for whatever reason.

Anyhoooo, enjoy the “King!”

I didn’t see this one in August, Summer Vacation[8D]!!!. Nice Build! I remember how much I loved the movie when it came out… I think I was in about 3rd grade… and loved the tanks.
I’ll have to admit that now I ONLY enjoy the tanks! They can take the actors (writers, director, etc) and can them all.
I also hope I can survive my Paladin’s getting its top ripped off in battle if it ever happens… as long as I don’t have to spend the remainder of my life looking like Telly Sevalas![;)]
By the way, I love the way movie tankers are always smoking on their gasoline fueled tanks… duh.[xx(][xx(][xx(]
