Otto's Tiger.

[Chris curran]

Ok, After finishing my Odd Ball sherman, I Decided to make Otto's T-34 Tiger. I used a HL plastic hull and turret as the sacrificial lamb for this. Ok, That being said, I started with the T-34 chassis, then Narrowed the tiger hull by 3/8" per side, then re attached the side skirts. I also moved the turret forward by an inch. I'm liking the way it looks so far. I have more to do, but most of the Heavy lifting's done. Now on to the fun bits.

Looking good Chris. Always wanted to see someone do a model of Otto’s tank. Everyone concentrates of Oddball’s.

Ok. I added the Zimmerit and the wheel covers. The wheel covers came from the same Donor Tiger I took plastic parts from

This is just so cool Chris! Agreed with Mr. Rat, I've never seen the Tiger done and you sure did it. Nice one sir! Can't wait to see it with the Otto figure as well next to your Oddball model.

Excellent! I have an Oddball Sherman, and every time someone sees it they say "I should" make the Tiger to accompany it. You've done it!

Thanks Bob. It takes a Special person to tackle this projact and i'm, um, Special.....After I made my Oddball Sherman, I really wanted the foil. Well, the fella in England who made my Sherman crewMakes Otto, Kelly, and Big Joe. So I'm having them made for me. Another reason I took on this project.

Thanks Chef. It was a lot of work, but worth the effort. I'm gonna have to put them both together when this one's done. I'm adding some more pics now.

Ok we're almost done. I replaced the wood spacer in the rear with a plastic piece, then adder the dirt and weathering.

That's the right color from the movie! Bravo.

Thanks Bob . I'm trying to get it as close to Movie correct as possible. I used the Soviet colors that the Yugo's used. I even have netting and foliage to add to it.

Chris. You should really do a second one, with a big pink blob on the rear. This is just a great build.

Thank you meter. Ya know, I was thinking that but decided not to. So, I stuck with the hero tank instead. Plus, I have an Otto figure coming.

Ok. It's finally finished. Here it is.
