I present my largest vehicle yet, the GW Tiger. Built off a lengthened Tiger II chassis, it mounts the 21 cm mrs 18 Morser. The vehicle was prototyped and only one vehicle was partially finished when the allies captured it. It features opening hatches (driver's hatch is for lights, MG side is for the battery box), there is a 5:1 ratio between the XL motors and the drive sprockets, gun depression and elevation is powered by 2 linear actuators, gun recoil, working earth spade, lights, track tensioning with the rear idler wheel, and fully independent suspension made up of a combination of springs and a couple torsion bars.

Nice job! It's a tad gray, but there's not much you can do about that

[Rishab N]

Nice work as always

quite a few of the german vehicles were painted "German Grey" it would be probably closer to dark Bley, though the tracks would match the color of the tank.

if anyone was wondering about how the shots were taken in the beginning of the video, here's the motorized camera rail slider that I built out of technic beams.

It would be in a tan/dark green/ dark red camo.

I tried something new, I made a video showing the internals of the model. it should be up in a hour and 20 minutes.
