My first project
Hi all, please note that I am humbly making this post. This will be my first ever real 1/6 scale project and being in the midst of all the really amazing talent out there like Tim Bowman, Armourguy, and the rest of you great armor artists, it is truly intimidating to show up knowing nothing and make a post on a new project, but here goes nothing.
As many of you know my first attempt at purchasing a tank did not pan out. After that I was not really sure what to do and who to trust. Then one day I stumbled across a great thread by Armourguy showing his new Sherman tank that had just arrived from Bigtanks.de. Not sure if I'm just not right in the head or what the reasoning was but I still wanted a big German tank. I looked into Bigtanks.de and spoke with a nice Gentleman named Wolfgang Ebsen last November. We continued to talk through the Holidays and into January. Finally in January I went for it and ordered a King Tiger. Wolfgang told me they take about 3-4 months to build and that he would try and have it ready for me by my 50th Birthday, coming next week. Anyway to make a long story short below please see the first Official pic of KT (soon to be 009) during preparation for shipping.
It comes with a turret too, not pictured. Its not always easy being a new person in a forums but I really want to thank many of you for being so helpful and open with information, it has made all the difference in the world.
Also special thanks to Egonzinc who was so very kind and created the crew of my tank 009 for me (see below). I had stumbled upon his website and was attempting to build the crew myself and e-mailed him about some uniforms. Well we got to talking about the tank and the crew and he graciously offered to create them for me. I am so pleased with how they turned out. Eduardo thank you again!
