ALY MORRISON'S "BUTTERFLY" ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD OF WARGAMES AND TOY SOLDIERS

Friday, 15 May 2026

So… The Answer is…

Greetings…

It is a 1:1 3D Printed Tiger Tank Muzzle Break…






I think it took a fair bit of building…

It was built in parts , then assembled, filled, sanded and then given a Red Oxide factory finish.

Given how much the replica weighs the real thing must have been difficult to handle… 

If it ( the muzzle)was damaged I can’t imagine how you would attempt a field repair…

My friend has files for the Ammunition and the Tracks… I have of course suggested that he builds the whole tank ( The biggest ‘ Part Work ‘ in history as my daughter said)… He didn’t say yes… but he didn’t say no 🤣🤣🤣.

All the best   Aly

      My thoughts exactly Donnie…
      It would certainly give my friend focus…
      And I have room in the garden 🤣

    I'd settle for the ammunition if I were you Aly!

      If you have time … you could hold out for an M1 Abrams or a Challenger…
      I’m sure the prices will come down as the price of Drones go up.😳

    The question is do you have a garage big enough to park the whole thing?
