Empress catches a Tiger!

[Paul @ Empress Miniatures]

We have a few new releases in the shop that will also be available at Colours this Saturday. So please pre order or risk missing the chance to save on some post and getting your hands on these new toys.

First up is the Gaz Tiger. The Russian Humvee although bigger and meaner this chap comes with lots of aerials and both an MG and GL so that you can do some serious damage. Russian she may be but other nations have purchased the vehicle including the Chinese PLA.
The top hatch can placed open or closed and the weapons left off if desired.

Cheers,
Paul







Plus an oil drum position. One of those useful things that every battlefield should have.

Note to self,  put some cash aside to buy some tigers next month.

The Tiger looks great (or should that be "Grr-rreat!"?), but there seems to be some misaligned casting on the oil drums.



Worth fixing if it's a display model or a production prototype.

Tigr for the win .... very nice!!

The Tiger is excellent !

[Wyrmalla]

Ooh, that's much better (and well, the right size too) than the 1/43rd scale Tigrs which are currently on offer. Are any addon kits available?

When did those alternative heads for the Russians come out, or are those also up for pre-order (heh, at work, so can't check your site)?

[Paul @ Empress Miniatures]

There are a few new items added to the shop over the past few months so best to check the site. Head sets and all.

Yes we will look at add ons. Have you anything in mind and don't suggest the staircase they have played with for building entry

Have You planned in a near futur some PLA and russian crew ?

[Wyrmalla]

The police and non-armed military versions would be easy enough for people to convert themselves. As would the more obscure addons.

Some remote weapons systems as an alternative to the LMGs could be an option.




There's variant with the armoured hood too, though people could just make that themselves (I'm not sure how well a pewter piece could slot over your existing resin kit).



I'll wait for Company B to make some transfer for that newer style of Russian star on the side.

Have You planned in a near futur some PLA and russian crew ?

Yes sure have. There are armoured vehicle crew in the Chechnyan range which work well although the iconic padded helmet has been slightly replaced in some areas by a domed helmet.

At the moment we are researching the Brits AF crew kit.

Awesome work and very interesting vehicle.  Far more protected than a standard HUMVEE (which was never meant to be a frontline combat vehicle anyway).  Lots of options on the Tigr and they've already been in service, including Crimea, etc.
