GAZ Tigr

I've had this model around for a fair while, I originally built a tan/olive/dark green version but I just didn't like the camo enough to keep it, just would not flow like I wanted, dang parts cost a fortune for nothing too..ah well. So anyways I did make another version and here it is! The Tigr is basically a Russian answer to the Humvee, but much better IMO. I may camo this to white/belt/black, have to see in time. Here I've just done an Urban version used by Spetsnaz and Police units for internal operations mostly.

 

I always found the angles on the Tigr really cool especially the door and I've tried to get as many angles in as possible while keeping scale down and still have a strong model, the upper sides and windshield of the real Tigr do slope slightly but in Lego it's not even a plate in equivalent so was just not something that can be done unless going the other way which would be too much of a slope. I've got the angles on the roofs corner and the bottom of the chassis(cheese slope upside down)and on the door and the wheel arch, so I'm happy enough!

 

The model is a mix of SNOT work going in several directions, easy at first sight but it wasn't while building lol

 

All sorts can be added like a different coms package really easy, and changes in weapons too, I might have to do the rocket launcher version one day! I used the Lego tommy gun as a grenade launcher lol.

Done
