Model Enthusiast Builds 1:2 scale Tiger Tank!
http://gizmodo.com/375333/guy-builds...?autoplay=true
This is probably one of the coolest things I've seen in a long long time. It must be awesome to drive that thing around and to be able to button up and fire paintball shells. This guys rocks!.

Pretty massive undertaking for a hobbyist. That's one smart guy.

That's pretty good for a young guy, but it doesn't compare to this guy's Sherman:

It doesn't? Looks pretty damn good on both ends to me. Stick this guy's Sherman next to the Tiger and I think the Tiger has a bit of a size difference since 2/5 is smaller than 1/2. Plus the Tiger can shoot paintballs. I wonder if the Sherman can shoot also.

Re: Model Enthusiast Builds 1:2 scale Tiger Tank!
The Tiger is cool, but it's basically a mock-up and not close on a few details. The Sherman is more of a scale model than a paintball toy. The detail the guy with the Sherman goes into is obvious, while the Tiger I could probably make with a couple old snowmobiles and some plywood. Both are cool, but the Sherman is simply a better piece. considering the age and experience of both individuals, they are both remarkable accomplishments.
