The helmets in the picture with the troops all on top; are those Will's M1 helmets? If not, what are they and where did you get them? Very cool.


Those helmets are from another vendor who cannot be named here, sorry.

One of the best tanks I seen. Nice scale in regards to the minifigs.

That is a sweet Tiger tank, sfzdk. Very accurate, and the scale looks nice too. The Tiger just happens to be my favorite World War 2 tank, with the Russian T-34 in a close second. Nice job!

This is a great MOC! Very sleek and elegant.

A question about the tiger II as I see you know a lot about armoured vehicles:
-Normally, artillery pieces and tank barrels had rings on them indicating how many enemy vehicles they had destroyed. (as for example the Tiger) Yet I haven't seen any version of a tiger II (Porsche or Henschel turret) wich had these markings on their barrels. How come? Did they have them or not?

Also, what colour would the interior of the Tiger II be?

Thank you

Thanks! Sorry for the late reply! The German MG recipe is:

and a BrickArms bipod at the tip.

Thank you Tanotrooper! Sorry but while I'm interested in tanks I'm not really an expert. I don't believe "kill rings" was normal though. Of the the many pics I have seen of German tanks I only remember seeing them on a few Tiger I's, a Panther and some 88's. The Tiger I was king of the battlefield in Russia for about a year so it makes sense some would survive long enough to build up a kill history particularly useful in propaganda pictures. The Tiger II arrived late in the war and with Allied air superiority I would think camouflage was much more important than showcasing kill rings.

I think most German tank interiors were painted white but I'm not sure. I used a take-apart model of a Tiger as inspiration for this MOC, it has the floor painted red and sides painted white.

Excellent job! I though my tank was good (I've not released it yet). The detail is incredible and it looks gorgeous. I have to admit you are better than me (currently)... Well I'm only 12 and I have other interests (Like air soft which is extremely expensive).

Thanks for sharing your work:D

Wow, just wow. That is a fabulous tank with incredible detail. On a scale of 1 to 10 that is a 20, and I mean it.
