OOOOHHH Holy Jeez, Yeah, somebody like!!!! I wonder what the poly count will be once you've applied the Zimmerat (sp?) coating!
LOL photons ,
Im not sure if my pc memory will hold if i try to model that in
its starting to lag out with the tracks. I am haveing to build the detail on the tiger in another scene so my pc can handle the riseing poly count. The tracks alone are 27000 some odd polys. I may try and add the anti mine coating by textures but id rather have it detailed so im not sure yet.

your work or anything, but this isn't a Tiger MkII, but a Tiger MkI. I'm actually something of a Tiger fan myself, and I can say that your model looks really good! I like the cooling fan grille you made for the rear deck. Keep going and show us updates, ok!

Whats the difference? the Tamyia box says tiger mrkII and it has the anti mine coat. I thought the tiger mrk I had the turrent more forward and tracks narower?

There is a lot of differences between the versions.
You are doing very well!

I am adding this link to a Tiger I page that is quite extensive and there is Actung Panzer which has some excellent referances for German tanks and the Das Reich web site that has an extensive section on the numbering and ingnia of vehicles in that unit!
CAN'T wait for it!!!!

Thank you.
I know the king tiger looks more like a overgrown panther but i didnt know it was also called tiger mrkII, my bad. I thought the mrk II was the zimmeret armor and hull changes. Oh well its all good
. Heres an update.
The hull is 21065 polys with the grill changes The total model/scene will be WAY more than 40000 poly now lol.
I guess i will release it but i may not be able to texture it accurate .

As for the 88, it was not quite the killer that it's reputation suggests. The 88mm L-56 gun on the Tiger I was fantastic in it's day, but soon after it was left behind by the 75mm L-71 that the Panther mounted, and then eclipsed again by the 88mm L-71 on the King Tiger (aka: Tiger II). Of course these days it's like a spitwad shooter compared to the M-256 120mm smoothbore cannon mounted on the M1A1.
Having been a tank crewman in the US Army, and a German WW2 re-enactor out east, I know a great deal about German tanks and assault guns from the WW2 era, and about all German WW2 weapons in general. I have a personal collection of many german small arms which we use in living history events. Check out my unit at www.grossdeutschland.com
As I was saying, this is a really sweet model. I'm not sure what I'd use it for, but I really want it!

It would look very cool but methinks the Tiger would be much better suited to the Klinks or Gorn because, well, it looks more like a rough and ready kind of tank...or mebbe I imagine feddie tanks like this:
Or this:
I found those images here at the Treknology site
hehehe..mebbe we can make either the Abrams or Challenger tanks for the Feddies!

I need to do more detail work like cables and clamps ect and the Zimmeret but i still havent found a pattern yet.
I am also going to make a 88mm gun Flak37/38 for this scene . The entire scene may be 100000 polys when done lol.

The tracks are 22000 poly alone and the intake for the engine ended up some 16000 polys I can make a new hull and texture in the intake in but the tracks i will have make lower poly versions of, even if i can get a good looking low poly tracks on the tank it still might be around 10000 poly for sfc
. Ill see what i can do give me a few weeks 
Ps ill will reupload the orignal model , i did get it to "view" in the mod viewer but it crashed the game when played becaues of the poly count.

I think it is a sweet model.
