Howdy, folks![:)]
Some of ya’ll may remember me talking about a Tiger contest being held last October at my LHS (Mammut), for which I was building the Tiger II on display at Bovington (sadly, STILL not finished!).
The fellas finally got a site together to display the entries. It’s all in Japanese, but I reckon the pix pretty much speak for themselves.

The Link:

Enjoy![:D]

PS
If you have any specific Q’s, lemme know and I’ll give the text a quick squiz.

There are some great looking models there. Thanks for the link

Very good looking. Especially enjoyed seeing that Tiger I climbing up onto the railroad tracks and the one cover in snow. The Kelly’s Heroes Tiger was fun to see and the Volmeteer (ouch! spelling?!?) Tiger was also easily recognizable.

GREAT pics!! thanks for sharing with us, J-Hulk[:)]
i agree with Kumakichi about the 2 best looking ones: the railroad one and the one covered in snow were awesome!![8D]
which ones won? also, that “yellow #77” with the tiger-style stripes…is that a real scheme??

Great pics. Thanks for the link.

Love the ‘Kelly’s Heroes ex-T34’ - nice comical touch to the theme.

The flooded street Tiger II is an inventive dio idea, and I liked the one with the early Tiger climbing up the railway line. The trees on the Porsche turreted Tiger dio were also nicely done.

What is with the All Black Barrel?

Great Tigers!

13

These boys can build, that’s for sure!
I’ll check the site when I get back home (I’m “working” now) and answer the Qs for ya’ll.

14

I agree with all opinions on these great models.
There was a really trashed one in there i was a bit partial to also.
(I need to go to over-weatherers anonymous.)

In fact I have a bit of Tiger-envy. My collection is Tigerless.

If I can build one this year I am definitely going to try and show it’s suspension in action a la the railway Tiger.

To answer some Qs:
The winners:

First Place, Mr. Murakami

Second Place, Mr. Ogawa

Third Place, Mr. Kamei

That Tiger #77 was one done just for fun as a tribute to the local baseball favorites, the Hanshin Tigers, who won the division this year and almost won the Japan Series. #77 is the coach, Hoshino-san. Most of us are Tigers fans here! (the tank and the team)
I bet the fellas would love Mike’s beautifully tigered Tiger!
