TIGER I
Using a 1/16th scale Tamiya Tiger I as a template I started to build my own 1/6th scale Tiger I for paintball battles. No easy task I might add. My original plan was to build it out of aluminum, then I priced it out at a few metal shops around. Baltic birch ply seemed to be a perfect choice all of a sudden. High number of plys and very tough.
There is a mix of 1/2inch and 1/4inch ply in the hull as you can see the front plate is 1/4" while the rest of the hull is 1/2".
The Tiger I is a nice model to scratch build as there aren't any compound angles to deal with.
My 1/16th scale Tiger will fit rather nicely in the center hull of this thing. The two compartments on the sides ought to be real handy for something.
