hey Joe...

if you find time...
and assuming that these are at your home from winning the contest...

could you possibly find time to take a few close-ups please?

 

[Sahara]

Sure Mike, hope these help. These are really close shots. If you want something different then let me know.

 

[mikemiller1955]

Joe...
that's more than I hoped for...those are extreme closeups...thank you very much!

 

[mikemiller1955]

Great sculpts.....I'm wondering if John will make new sculpts of officers for the mid-republican Romans (Punic Wars). Perhaps some of these Caesarian Roman officers can be used for the earlier Republic with just some scutum painting changes. I will research this.

These figures look great! Wow {eek3} such amazing little sculptures from head to toe. Great work JJD, and Joe thank you for the photos! Hope you had a blast at the show!

The main special feature for the JJD King Tiger Model will be the detachable side panels, which will enable collectors to chose themselves how many panels they wish to display with their model.

The first version of the JJD King Tiger will be available to pre-order in October 2019 (NEXT MONTH!?!?!?!?!)

A Special Thank You from John to Hunter Rose, once again for his guidance in producing this King Tiger model. Although, NOT on Mike Miller's list, he should definitely consider adding at least one of these to his collection.
Next month we will see the first painted version of this beaut!

**Bear with me as I learn about YouTube videos! Slowly but surely we will be building up our channel with more videos from the show.**

This is the main JJD item I’m looking forward to... I hope it sees the light of day. His WWII armor is among the best in this scale

 

[katana]

The best KT to date IMO. No errors as found in previous 1/30 scale models. All the of opening hatches make it superior to other 1/30 models in realism and flexibility. The magneticly secured fenders are an excellent innovation. I hope JJD considers offering an unpainted version for those collectors that prefer to paint and mark it themselves.

WHAT IS THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF KONIGSTIGER?

• King Tiger

The Tiger II is a German heavy tank of the Second World War. The final official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, often shortened to Tiger B. The ordnance inventory designation was Sd.Kfz. 182. It is also known under the informal name Königstiger (the German name for the Bengal tiger), often translated literally as Royal Tiger, or somewhat incorrectly as King Tiger by Allied soldiers, especially by American forces.
The Tiger II was the successor to the Tiger I, combining the latter's thick armour with the armour sloping used on the Panther medium tank. The tank weighed almost 70 tonnes, and was protected by 100 to 185 mm (3.9 to 7.3 in) of armour to the front. It was armed with the long barrelled 8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71 anti-tank cannon. The chassis was also the basis for the Jagdtiger turretless Jagdpanzer anti-tank vehicle.
The Tiger II was issued to heavy tank battalions of the Army and the Waffen-SS. It was first used in combat by 503rd Heavy Panzer Battalion during the Allied invasion of Normandy on 11 July 1944; on the Eastern Front, the first unit to be outfitted with the Tiger II was the 501st Heavy Panzer Battalion, which by 1 September 1944 listed 25 Tiger IIs operational.
