It's late summer, somewhere in France. The weather is hot, the tank is rumbling along when suddenly, Hanz, the driver lets one rip! The effects are catastrophic.
Hanz. Look at that smug face!
Der Commander. "HANZ!!!"

The Tiger is Tamiya's Late Tiger 1 with Cavalier zimmerite and tools from Dragons 3 in 1 late Tiger. The crew is a mix of Dragon and Revell with the driver and commanders heads replaced with Hornet heads. I added Tiger Models partial interior. I wanted the tank to look fairly new but with a little damage. Comments welcome.

I try to go for humorous ideas. Lots of bang! bang! action ones out there. Thought I would go for something a little lite hearted.

I know that driver. He thinks surprising everyone else riding in his crew cab was so funny.

Having had four Sons who used to share a bedroom, I can share some sympathy with the tank commander!
Agree with Darren! Should be a feature!

Love it! Aside from the humour element it's a lovely build. I especially like the little touches like the commander clutching his gas mask and the driver who's just thrown up in the road (complete with wet patch of said puke).Superb!
Nothing is so exhilarating in life as to be shot at with no result.

"Keine weitere Wurst für du!" or something to that effect. The grin on the driver's face is superb....and the radio operators name is "Rolf." Good one.
Hilarious and very well "executed," Jesse.
"Toll!"

Brilliant Jesse.
One of the most original ideas I ever seen.Not to mention hilarious.
Besides that, the ground,painting and figures are very well done.
It probably happened a lot and no one talks about it.

Hilarious, I love it!
The only thing you would want to correct is the spelling, it's gefurzt, not gefurtz.

Great diorama and great storyline. Clearly this Tiger I does not need an 88......they have HANZ!!!!!!!!!!!
Best wishes,
Ian
It is a fact that under equal conditions, large-scale battles and whole wars are won by troops which have a strong will for victory, clear goals before them, high moral standards, and devotion to the banner under which they go into battle.
