World War Toons Tiger I by Meng
1March 27, 2022Very fun build. Used wire rods through the side hull wall to push down the tracks, as all they are is rubber band kit tracks. If you look close, you can see the end of the wire between the drive sprocket and first wheel above the tacks. It looks like a little dot.
2March 27, 2022Everything off the sprue, ready to go.
3March 27, 2022The Meng Toon tank is a Paint Mule for the Tamiya Tiger I kit #35216. Removed the port/left side fender on both models.
4March 27, 2022Primed and ready to go. Battle damage & torch marks made using a drill bit, putty, Dremel tool & soldering iron. Just having fun and making it more interesting while testing out skills.
5March 27, 2022Build a small stand out of steel and a bolt to use for painting. Super glue a hex nut on the bottom of the kit to attach.
6March 27, 2022On the tiger tanks, the barrel has four small bolts recessed so I added it to the kit barrel.

8March 27, 2022Work bench with some of the products used on the build.
9March 27, 2022For some reason, decided to paint the barrel flat black, and add gloss black near the front. Was this a vain attempt to replicate some sort of recoil, can't remember.
10March 27, 2022Used Lion Roar WWII German AFV stencils, (LAM0001) to paint all the markings. Again, fun little adventure, and happy with most of the results. Better than decals if it comes out right.

12March 27, 2022Will have to work on the vision glass, it really is not where I think it should of ended up. Again, great to test thing on the toon tank.
13March 27, 2022Just a lot of dust and rust on the weathering, so it shows more of a urban battle ground vs a rural environment. Buddy cast some 1/48 scale bricks so may use them to add to the tank. They have to be painted and weathered first to match.
14March 27, 2022Removed starboard/right side fender, could have made it better looking.
15March 27, 2022Happy how the port side missing fender paint came out. Used styrene to scratch build the four fender bracket bolt supports.
16March 27, 2022Model tipped up on a set of Friulmodel 1/35 tracks for a future project.

Interesting build for a Paint Mule. Even as a paint mule, the urge to go a little further is always present. The Tamiya Tiger was missing its port/left side fender, so the Toon Tiger had to be missing it's.
