It was back in Feb 2005 when I first considered it complete, as you can see two posts back in this very thread.
Opening it up again it's clear it was riddled with inaccuracies, bad modeling and weighed a meager 125,659 polygons. In comparison the Crusader as it stands is 445,567 polygons, three and a half times the Tiger.
The treads and all the wheels have been completely re-built from scratch, and even partly textured. The hull front is a re-make still being worked on apart from the drivers viewport and the MG-ball, those will be worked on later.
The gun is brand spanking new, and the mantlet has been totally re-worked, trying to get that cast look to it.
All this tinkering has already bumped the poly count upto 304,749, closing rapidly on the Crusader. I wouldn't be surprised if it's over half a million when I'm done tinkering
So, before and afters!! What a difference 5 years make.

The Tiger has just hit 456,000 polys. It's now more than the Crusader. The treads themselves weigh more than the old Tiger's total, at 128,856 each side.

That my good sir, is a tank.
Man, one day. One day I'll make a Leman Russ tank with that kind of detail, not today though
The treads are insane.. good job, mate.

"Om du kan stå, när alla andra sviktar
och sen klandras du för att just du står rak
Om du kan tro på ditt när andra riktar
sitt välbekanta tvivel mot din sak
Om var minut av nitti sen kan fyllas
med verk av dig som giltigt räknats ner
min vän, som jordens konung ska du hyllas
men du är också man, och det är mer."

I've been playing with Reactor to create a physics based tank track rig that could one day be used on this Tiger.
All this (except the turret) is pure physics in action, all generated by Reactor. All I do is tell the drive wheels how fast and which direction to turn, the friction from the wheels pushes the tracks on the ground, moving the tank forwards.
Something not shown in this test though, by playing with the speed and direction of the drive wheels, I can steer it.

It is even more remarkable that you can get Reactor to do what you want!
