Building Rubicon Models Tiger II heavy tank with full interior

[@jaanikaapa6925]

The smurf would win. Hands down. His pistol is as powerful as the tank's gun and with the armor he'll toss the white boy around. Beutiful build. :)

[@modelchili]

I suspected as much. Thanks!

[@jaanikaapa6925]

@@modelchili The thing about 40K is that you take a relatively sane scifi thing and crank that to 11, then you crank that to 1q and you start to approach 40K. The backpack on the marines is actually a nuclear reactor and all that fun stuff.

@@jaanikaapa6925 And none of it makes any sort of sense from a design perspective but thats 40k. Bolter mags are supposed to hold 30 rounds but the barrel is wider than the magazine, Leman russ barrels are hilariously short for 120mm, land raider tracks are a terrible design, trench warfare, no air superiority etc.

[@monkeymonk666]

@@TenebrusI07 Part of the problem is also the different levels of tech. At one point the humans were like, on par or superior to the eldar as far as tech goes and there are bits and pieces of that borderline magic level of tech sprinkled throughout the universe. Some things that look basic as fuck are hilariballz advanced tech. and some things that look fairly advanced are actually surpassed by the tech we have right now... Total glorious shitshow, that's 40K.

Terrific job! The 1/56 scale is starting to grow on me. It's a nice compromise between 1/76 & 1/35. Looking forward to seeing more builds in this scale. 👍🙂

[@modelchili]

Thanks Vaughan!

[@rOEN911]

i have build many of Rubicon models ...i can tell for sure.....are better than many top brand ones from 1/72 and 1/35 scales ,I have both tigers with interior but i havent build them yet....nice build anyway ,great job !

[@ScorpioDB]

Amazing little kit! Nice clean build too. I would expect a red oxide under the broken of skirt, no? I think that even zimmerit was was applied before the camo, so any broken off patch uncovered red color, supposedly. So I would expect any "factory part" to be bolted on after red oxide and before camo

[@ThisOLmaan]

wowee this was a miniature would buy long ago Thanks, thas what i get for not reading descriptions use to thinking they mostly come in one size like those Model kits. I like the miniature kits giving the space in the studio i Live in.

Interesting kit . I build 1/35 tanks and have never like 1/72nd scale. I have a 1/48 scale Cromwell on order to try a smaller scale . But this kit seems to have a lot of detail for the scale . Now depending on PRICE ,a big factor , I'd like to try these kits 😀 Great job !

[@TheKsalad]

most 1/56 scale historical kits are more for the Wargaming crowd, this Rubicon model seems to be a first for them when it comes to the interior details

Warhammer 40K is actually 32mm. It was originally 28mm back in the eighties, very early nineties. Then it went to 30mm and then 32mm. The Primaris and some of the new models like death guard are now closer to 40mm.

[@matthiuskoenig3378]

you forget primaris are supposed to be 8 and a half (8' 6") to 9 ft tall, the models are ~44.5mm tall (intercessors) which makes them 8ft 1inch tall in 1/56 scale. to get to primaris lore size you need to have it at scale 1/60 (to get 8ft 7") which is halfway between 25mm (1/64) and 28mm (1/56). (1/64 gives a height of 9ft 3"). so no primaries are actually *smaller* than 28mm, and even if they were regular marines rather than taller marines they would still be 28mm scale not 40mm scale (1/48). for a primaris to be 40mm scale it would need to be ~54mm tall.

[@jusztinnemeti6380]

@@matthiuskoenig3378 according to GW their scale is 32mm. If you look at any 3rd party miniature companies that produce models intended to be used along side GW's models they are also marketed as 32mm. Also, when measuring miniature size you measure from the bottom of the feet to eye level. Not feet to top of head.

It’s a pity they didn’t make the turret top detachable, that way the gun can be glued into position and still allow the turret interior to be seen.

[@namelessentity5851]

Haven't played in eons but, if the Ultramarine has a plasma pistol, then he's got it hands down. Not sure if a 'Bolter' could punch through. And what could the King's 88 do to power armor... I am thinking he wouldn't totally shrug it off, and would at least knock him back 10 feet. Good question!

[@forrynz7308]

What was the Part count Please? It looks like a lovely kit. I enjoyed your video, A lovely paint job.. Great Idea painting as you went and how you added the extra detail with the Vallejo putty! I see the Zimmeret version of this kit has the non zimmeret parts included as well. So I imagine you can put together a few diferent options. I'm now considering buying one now as a result of this video.

I saw a few articles about Panzers III - IV being painted white on the inside so as to make the tank not feel so small for the crew. Not sure if that would have applied to this one, but I think it would have been nice. edit: ah so you did do that for a bit of it

[@wolfehoffmann2697]

Tigers and panthers were also painted white on the inside. Allied tanks largely were as well. It also aided in seeing the controls.

[@Bored_Kaga]

@@wolfehoffmann2697 aight, that's nice

[@MJO80]

Actually the Panzers were not white on the inside the germans used RAL1001 elfenbein (ivory) but it is not white or off-white as we know it but more like a very light sand colour. Transmission and related parts were painted feldgrau a grey colour if I remember correctly. Late in the var the whole interior was painted in red primer. But the crews complained that it was too dark and depressing and they went back to elfenbein. At least for what was above the sponsons below it was still red primer. But I guess that all combinations existed on the battlefield.

Alright I have a question regarding Cement vs Superglue and their toxicity, like I didnt know that tamiya extra thin cement is neurotoxic. I had the window open and I wasnt wearing a mask I opened the cap, and the odor was horrible. I immediately closed the cap, but now Im worried about the neurological side effects of that. So knowing u r in the hobby how bad is using that types of cements? Also why are those cements that are hazard and unhelathy being sold to teenagers? like WTF. The label said not for under 14 but what about above 14? Also how´s possible that after 40 years no one has ever invented something THAT IS SAFE in the model kit industry???Do u use a mask when using tamiya extra thin cement? like the covid masks

[@modelchili]

Don't really know much about it sorry. It's never bothered me.
