Hello Marcel, this is a real big thing. I do this in 1:16 scale RC, an you have my full respect for doing this in a much, much bigger scale! Nice work, good luck for the upcoming steps!
Really cool. Been working on a much smaller scale for a long time it's a 1/16 tiger 1 tank. Trying to make everything work as close as I can like the real tank. Got a scale Sherman 90% finished. Just like tanks.
Hey Ronald. Super leuk dat je mijn project volgt!! Ja, er lijkt niet veel gebeurd te zijn afgelopen jaar maar heb toch veel gedaan. Komt ook omdat sommige zaken veel geld kost. Zoals de hydroliek. Maar dat heb ik nu ook allemaal liggen. Volgende uitdagingen qua geld worden de 48 ( 40 ) wielen en tracks. Ben daar al mee bezig.
I can‘t believe this video hit my radar only after 3 months.. I am Tank aficionado especially the German Panzer and Tiger 1 is my all time ko.1 Good Job Sir this is so cool.. I will share this video to my friends. More project to come! 💯🙏🏼
Marcel Very well done on a very interesting project, stay with it. I look forward to the completion and seeing it in action! Good luck with everything.
It might be cool if you could incorporate some original tiger 1 parts somehow. I know the scale is off but maybe some original tiger 1 bolts and nuts would be cool.
I'm curious to know why you opted to use springs and shocks over torsion bars like in the original tank? I recently came across your channel and decided to subscribe because I'm curious to see your progress and how long you take to actually build it. Good luck.
It was mainly a money thing! I checked for torsion bars but they are very expensive so I decided to do it like this. But hey, the whole interior will be different 😁
Seeing the modern way products are made, I wonder how long it would take the war era Germans, using those automated techniques to built an actual Tiger.
Now you may or may not know, but The Panzerlied (English: "Tank Song") was a Wehrmacht military march of the Nazi era, sung primarily by the Panzerwaffe, the tank force of Nazi Germany during World War II. It is one of the best-known songs of the Wehrmacht and was popularised by the 1965 film Battle of the Bulge. The modern-day German Army has discontinued its use, due to the song's Nazi origins.
Looks like a cool project but I have a question on your suspension system. If the road wheel axles are straight and go threw bearings on both sides of the arm. Bearings that are ridged mounted to the frame BTW. What is the arm and shock for? It's a straight axle, not a bell crank. It cannot move the arm that goes to the shocks
That sure looks detailed and really cool, if you can construct it in 1:2 scale I would guess you could make a 1:1 scale also but maybe cost, space, and legal reasons prevent such an endeavour? Sure will be fun to see the tank progress and drive away, quite the hobby there :)
Marcel: By any chance, do you have any prints/plans, dimensions for the turret? I am finally working on my Tiger 1 in 1:3 scale and machining the barrel, mantlet, recoil system, breech, outer barrel support, flanges, and muzzle brake. Next will be the turret and could use any help you can send my way. Thanks Bill
Hi Bill, no I haven't. Maybe you can find something at tiger1.info? I'm not yet that far. Good luck! And if you want you can show your project at my Facebook page. Big scale tank build
Hey Ridwan, I use a 2 cilinder Mag motor from a ransommes motor triple lawnmower to drive a hydrolic pump. So.i will drive on hydrolic. Stronger and easier 💪🏻
Warum hat er keinen in 1:1 gebaut? Das wäre zwar teuer, aber in eventuellen Kriegsfilmen gut angekommen. Quasi als Deko! Der müsste ja nicht fahren, würde aber Geld bringen als Leihgabe.
@@Tigermarcel Turret is located to front too far than it supposed to be. There is a gab between bottom of turret and superstructure. Turret is supposed to be asymmetry, but HL is symmetry. Direction of vision block of cupola is often inaccurate. Tail light is duplicated, only 1 on left side is correct. Anetna case is duplicated, only 1 on right side is correct. Screw head shaped part (for crane fook) on both side next to gunmantlet is missing. If you compare HL's Tiger to Tamiya's Tiger or Hilary Doyle's illustration, you will see what I'm talking about. HL doesn't know what they do.
In a very small number I believe they did. But I guess its a thing. The 1:16 scale tigers are almost all grey. But gor me it's the typical panzer colour
