Talk about "Weapons of Mass Recreation" ! ! !
There is an old farmer out by my mom's place in the country that
has an ancient tank of some sort he refers to as a "Ronson".....
Says he is so old, it's a "Post Dealer Sample"....:giggling:
He keeps that old SOB in better shape than he does his trucks
and tractors......One time I traded him a 12'er of his favorite
adult beverage for a ride in the damn thing....Jeez, I like to have
never got my wide white ass in that damn thing....My claustrophobia
was working overtime.....Ended up hanging out of the turret.
What a blast....That damn thing was unstoppable.

LOL. That's what our troops used to call our M4 Sherman tanks during WWII based on the old Ronson lighter commercial where they bragged "lights first time, every time." (The Sherman's ammo storage was easily penetrated causing the tank to light up often when hit).

Holy sh!t! A Mark VI Tiger. I want one of those!
AK47, you might be the first person who can answer a question I have had since first watching Kelly's Heroes and then again, later, watching Saving Private Ryan. The Tiger-I tanks in those two movies appear just like yours. They appear exactly as the originals did back in '44-'45 above the tracks. BUT, the original Tigers the Krauts used in WWII had those interlocking wheels within the tracks (see photo below and/or watch any old film footage of those beasts rolling through Russia or France). Yet, all versions I've seen in movies (and yours) have a different wheel system. Why? Did they drop a Tiger-I chasis on another tank suspension or something?
Hi there well done i give you ten out of ten for looking close at each items the privite Ryans are built on top of T-55 AM2 chassis they are not the real items as mine is built on top of T-34/85 chassis No Tiger tanks in any films are the real thing one good reason is that these tanks fetch upwards of 1m USD min ,,my tanks were in some films all three tigers were on T-34s but i noticed that underneath there was WW11 T-34s even better.
Well noticed Sir`
There is one thing i have for sale which is the Kettenkrad which i see in the back ground ,,,look at milweb.co.uk or is it .com never remember for sale section

So, are you saying that your Tiger is a replica built on the T-34 chasis? If so, when was it built and how accurate is it in the interior?

Can you take a photo of your H2 next to that Tiger? I'd be interested to see the size comparison.
Can do the size is no different than the T-34 ,,i will show you all of them
here is all 3 before i sripped 2
This is a rare SU 100 looking down the barrel
Hi yes the Sherman is a bit weak on the steel plate side these Tanks were some of the best Medium Tanks ever made no right angles so that all bounces off ,,not like the Tiger ,,, I have one of these as well ,,,,off next week to Bosnia to look at a few more

Not sure if I understand: AK47, are those real Tiger bodies set on top of a T-34 chasis? Or are they completely built-from-scratch replicas using a T-34 chasis?
built from scratch ,,,all are kellys heroes privite ryan mine

You should get a Tiger-II - it has no/few right angles either, and was almost impossible to destroy other than from the air.

Are they comparable to the real ones in terms of weight and other specs?

Also, that 75 mm short barreled gun on the Sherman could not penetrate the armor of a Panther, Tiger, or sometimes even the Mk IV. If we had had more of these Pershings earlier, the war would went a lot easier for us in France IMO (they were first used in Europe at Remagen and, by then, the war was pretty much over):

Tanks are cool and all. I just can't have any respect for tracked vehicles, they all easily disabled by a little COMM wire ( losely holds the coil together), about 10 to 15ft coil of Constantina wire, some strategically placed tumble weeds and sand. What got a very pissed off tanker or track driver. A word of caution kids don't hang to see your handy work, the gun turret will still be very functional. This is a good time to deploy AT-4, SMAW, Dragon or just rain on those hoes with some close air support or Artie. Ah I miss those days:crying:

The Russians did not care about the looks the mechanics in general theyy were built very crude,,,all they were bothered about was that the cnnons worked full stop simple but very effective
I always like to eep the AK at hand

I was just giving a quick lesson on how to make a Tank or tracked vehicle throw a track. No doubt the gun is still dangerous, but a stopped tank is a dead tank.
thats true in some respects but russia played the numbers game mass production hence how crude they looked ie made by genral workers turret castings were bad

Man, if there ever was a collection i would love to start, it would something like this...
screw cars and bikes.... tanks baby!!!
Funny, the whole time reading this post, i had "When the Sh!t goes down, you better be ready!" playing in my head!!
Well sir, i think your ready, granted if those guns are operational. Now, i wander. If you are driving around town and a cop pulls you over, do you just swiong the maing gun around and point it at his cruiser and ask, "Is their a problem officer?", or do they just leave you alone entirely?!
