Nice weekend project for Popular Mechanics
Cool post! What russians do in their garages, are radical different what other people normaly do…
LOL!!!!!
What is this guys phone number. I want one for my birthday. How soon can he make me one.
the armor is a little thin. they must have had a real tiger for many of the castings they used.
That is freakin awesome! I want one!
So, does it even work? I don’t mind, if it doesn’t shoot, but does it even run? Or does it just stand and look pretty?
Not impressed.
Very nice….but why?
Why?
Are you kidding?
I hope you’re kidding.
Cool! It’s a smaller tank than I thought: Is this one scale 1:1?
Nice Tiger.
Okay. Now I want one.
It should say, “How to build something that LOOKS like a tank”.
Impressive, but NOT a tank. And certainly NOT a Tiger tank. Although, I can see why, they are not that many of them out there.
After the war, they were pretty much ALL destroyed.
There’s a show in the US/UK about people that fix up tanks for collectors, and man….. they’re cutting two blown up tanks in half, and putting the two good halves together to make one good tank. That’s how hard they are to come by now. And a Tiger? Forget it. Just not out there.

(NOTE: moderator, could you erase the previous comment, which is almost similar to this comment -I forgot to comment anything-, and this note in brackets? Thanks)
Its truly amazing what an ordinary person or small group of people can do
Who needs big companies do complete such tasks and work
Isn’t there a working WO2 Tiger in a French musea?
yes http://www.peachmountain.com/5star/Museum_Tanks_Musee_des_Blindes_Saumur_King_Tiger_Tank.aspx
King Tiger not a Tiger I
awesome awesome to the max
Tanks for the pictures
Why are you people complaining?! This is WAY better then computer animated crap as well as the movies where German tanks are either T-34′s or M-46′s just with extra metal or wood on them! These guys rock for bringing history to life and adding realism to movies!
Knowing Russian technics, it will be twice more reliable and four time less fuel consuming than the original.
