If you want to see patience demonstrated on a grand scale, check out Workshop Wednesday on Youtube. These guys CAN do amazing things with very little. It's humbling to watch.

Build a Tiger I, or say, maybe even a Jagdpanther, from assorted and sundry pieces? Yup. These guys can do it.

I suggest you start here -

I have no connection to the channel but I would recommend that you LIKE and SUBSCRIBE.

Patience and a SERIOUS outlay of money!!!!!! But you have to admit the skills of these guys are beyond reproach!

Those guys have way more patience and money than I have, the only tank that I can afford has to be put together with glue. :lol:

The Billmeister and I found a link that was for them but, unfortunately, the link went nowhere. It appeared as though they offered to sell pieces of certain tanks as a sort of fundraising effort. Personally, I would go for that, knowing what they would be doing with the money. Heck, they were selling coal found on the seabed at the Titanic wreck site. Offer to sell me a ball bearing from a Tiger I Tank? Heck yeah! Sign me up! I'm already a 'part owner' of many tanks...Sherman, M3 Medium, even an Abrams. I have parts for each of 'em.

Cheers,
TJ
