Wow , lots of detail on that and most of it gets hidden by the turret roof  ;D  Do you have the front plate for the mantle or do you have to make one ?

Very true , Tracks . There is a large conversion going on in the 1/35 scale modelling forums about all the Tiger I and IIs being released these last 6 months , probably close to 18 ( about 1/3 with interiors ) from half a dozen companies . The word is Tigers sell , and company A's Tiger doesn't make money for company B , so they release one ( or a few ) , all wanting a piece of the action $$$$ . If there were  more companies making 1/56 kits in plastic ,  I'm sure  would see each and every one put out their own version of a Tiger , Stug and Sherman M4  ::)

Awesome paint job , just the right amount of chipping and rust . If it as photo shopped into a picture , I would swear it was the 1 to 1 scale real deal .  Oh , and working hinges , is that the next Rubicon kit improvement  ?  lol

 Really can't see an easy way to replace  track on  already built kits ( liquid glue / super glue / lots a glue  ::) ) , not to  mention trying to match  paint , weathering and ground effects  ( dirt / mud / scatter ) on the tracks . But this will be great on any new kits I build . I wonder how long before we see these in the stores ?

That's a neat ide . Maybe down the road we can see narrow transport track for the Tiger and maybe the Wintterkasten ( sp? ) the wide winter track for Panzer III & IV , that would be cool

Turned out very nice . That German grey/gray is a very hard color to get right , you nailed it . What is the tank commander doing ? He looks a little strange , like he's holding something tight , a radio , a rifle , a blankie ? Sort of a weird pose , guess they were to cheap to give him arms . Probably made to just have his head sticking out of the hatch ?

And there are a few good web sites out there . Even found one LRDG fan  site out of Germany , with lots of info and war time photos . Some sites also list reference sources and books that would be of interest to those wanting to expand their knowledge of the various LRDG squadrons

I have to agree with Pinky ,  your going to turn off some people . I notice on your schedule some of the figure kits I was excited about and was hoping to get a few sets of , are coming out in pewter . Where as a plastic figure of  a guy tying his boot for example  can be easily changed  , pewter , not so much . Oh well , just have to get one set and hopefully wait for other seated plastics by you or someone else .  I can see releases personalities in resin / pewter ( Patton / Rommel ) but I would have thought  the regular rank and file troops , which we usually want various sets  of , would be best in plastic . I hope it all works out for you guys
