Today I needed to do something to relax a little and recharge the batteries.
These little things are just too cool.
Total build time: 2 hours.
I feel much better now! [:D]
Robert
How cool is that? Where did you find those? Are they for wargaming? Did you wash them in hot water?
I gotta get me some of those!
Mike
Very cool !!!
Very nice indeed! I´ve seen strumtigers , panthers etc in that size.
What size is it? That s very neat!
Looks great for two hours!
I’d also like to know what scale it is.
Yeah, Mike. Turn the dryer on extra-high heat and presto! Mini tanks. [:D]
Actually, I won the kit as a door prize at our model show yesterday. The kits each have TWO tanks including decals and - you won’t believe this - PE details! I skipped the PE on this build because like I said, I wanted to relax! [:D]
The kits are called “1:144 Panzer Korps” (poetic) and they’re from Dragon. They were $5.00 each at the show and I saw three different sets, but there could be more. I think they are pretty standard with about 10-15 parts per tank, not including PE and decals.
Glad you like it,
Robert
Always hang dry, never put them in a dryer. All that banging and rolling around softens the detail…[;)][:p]
Thanks Robert. I have to head towards the LHS next week and I’m going to have to see if he has or can get any of those. They look like a fun diversion.
I can see a diorama in my future using a bunch of these. Possibly the addition of some ships, planes etc. All avail. in 1/144

I can just see it now…an entire Tank stuck to my head while I spend an hour on the floor looking for it. I’m sure I could tweezerpult that across the room.
Gotta get some…
damn, need glasses. Dio potentials with this are just ridiculous [:D]
Tank looks great.
LOL
They are way cool found this page that has them all listed.

That would make i nice keyring. Thanx for showing us. Great little kit. Emphasis on the “little” part.
Keep well.
Really excellent! Where can I get one of those? I’ve wanted a lighter like that for a long time!
Oh, the tank?
[(-D]
Just kidding. Looks good!
Well, NO FAIR, Robert. I picked up two boxes of those guys (#1 and #3) at my LHS late Saturday and was going to post a thread on them called “And you thought 1/72 was small”! You are TOO cruel! Oh well…They are fun to build. As a point, some of the parts are vinyl. The tracks and road wheels come as two (one for each side), highly detailed, both inside and out, pieces (vinyl)! My sets have a Sturmtiger, “Demolition” Tiger I (set 1), E-100, and Tiger I Late (set 3). They are really cool. The Sturmtiger even comes with cast in zimmerit! (Not sure about the Tiger Late, I haven’t gotten that far, yet.)
I did put the pe, at least the rear deck grills, on, but it also comes with pe front and rear fenders. But you have to carve off the molded on ones, so I didn’t use them on this first one. One problem I see is that on the Tigers, the tow cables are molded as part of the hull. I guess they would have to be carved off and replaced to use the engine grills on them.
Fun kits!
wow very very tiny
Look great!
I don’t even think my camera would focus in that little thing!
Nice job and only 2 hours to boot.
Man, that’s neat! Luckily, I have tow magnifiers on my bench; one to build and one to hunt for the lost parts! I’ve got to get some of those[:D][:D][8D]
awesome.

Very cool! Imagine a division of those tiny things on a diorama.
