Snow Tiger is here- Best Tiger yet!! (1 Viewer)

As I said to Andy (UK Bod), there's no way I can justify another Tiger.
Well, I managed to last until about midday anyway, which is an improvement over previous years. :eek::rolleyes:

It's not just another Tiger. It's a Tiger with logs. :rolleyes::D

Did they have logs on the side of the starship enterprise, because Captain Kirk was always going on about his log, he must have been very proud of it. ;)

The log was a vital part of the Enterprise but by then it was a virtual log in a computer and no longer a physical object that could be strapped to the side of a tank or starship.

After some research, it seems the correct way to pose the "Snow Tiger" is facing left to right as if it is facing east toward the Russians and so that the logs, an important feature of this model are visible on display. Corroborating evidence is the logs which are a type of Spruce tree found only in the Leningrad Region on the slopes surrounding Lake Ladoga. ;)

I think you will forever be known as 'Lumberjack Terry';).....isn't there a song about Lumberjacks???.

Oh I'm a lumberjack and I'm......

I finally got this, with a little bit of apprehension at first. because two of the senior members of this forum has two opposite opinions, with Brad (Jazzeum), Not liking it, And Rob liking it. I was really not sure if I will keep it. But seeing it.
I have to say, I will keep it. Overall ( Except for the tracks, as Brad pointed out)
It is a great looking piece. But noticed that the tank is more suitable in the eastern Front ( like the tiger that was released during the summer). Is Andy planning to go back, and start making once again the Russians?. If it happens, I and a lot more people,would like that ( my T-34 needs company).

Glad you like it, very nice indeed, I think it will also be the last Tiger for a while.

Rob

Just because I didn't like it doesn't mean you shouldn't like it and I'm glad you do. It would be pretty boring if we all agreed on everything :).

As for being the last Tiger, I wonder if Figarti will make one. After all, the poll showed high interest in one.

Sorry Brad, I meant as we've had two from K&C in quite a short time it may be the last Tiger for the time being, I'm sure another will come along at some point.

Rob
 
Sorry, I misunderstood. I've been accused of that a lot lately :D
 
I saw this "monster" at Sierra Toy Soldier on Saturday. In my mind this is the best Tiger yet. The paint scheme and the figures really do it for me. Not to mention the amazing over all detail. The only bad part is that I could not take it home because it is being shipped to my house in San Antonio. I believe what I am feeling is call is called anticipation?
 
I got mine today. Best Tiger I now own. The camo paint just leaps out at you. Hey Sammy719, I know you don't collect KC anymore, but you gotta consider this one. It would be good in your new eastern dio.
 
Also got mine just recently, love it! Am looking at the Das Reich Summer Tiger now as well.

I think he would be better off purchasing the new First Legion Winter Panzer III....It would go much better with Stalingrad Dio's.....I have the K/C snow Tiger and it does NOT go well with First Legion Stalingrad....I purchased it because I still have a sizeable K/C collection.... for the time being;)
 
Would this set of CS riders work, uniform style, on the Snow Tiger?

Don't see why not the german greatcoat was in service all through the war so, nobody, can say its not historically correct. They certainly are good enough to work with any AFV

The Snow Tiger is 1:30 scale and so are the FL figures. The K&C figures are more like 1:28 and are visibly larger than the FL figures.

Maybe.... the CS Tank riders look excellent......hard to know for sure with all the variations of style and scale these days....But the CS riders are surely a better match with the K/C tiger then FL figures.....As I said, it best to match First Legion figures with the FL Panzer III or Grey Stug....I'm sure that First Legion will at some time release an Eastern Front Tiger Tank...Dilemma solved
