Custom Tiger Challenge!

Hello and welcome to my first Challenge!
In this challenge, you gotta download and customize this Tiger tank. Make it unique, but authentic, give it a character, but stay real.

Description of the challenge:

Your task is to download this stock Pz.Kpfw. VI. Tiger I. ausf. H1 and put (or remove, but mostly put) stuff on it, such as:
- equipment (bags, helmets, replacement tracks, personal stuff etc.)
- paintings (camouflage, battalion insignias, turret number, name on the tank [Like "Fury" in Fury or "Stefan" in BFV etc.], victory marks, writings [Like "First in Bastogne" on a Sherman Jumbo] etc.)
- anything else, just be crative (and authentic, don't put stuff that couldn't be on a WWII tank)

Judging will be based on the following:

1. The Idea

  • Did you have an idea, a plan or something and you weren't just throwing stuff together

  • How creative you were. How unique it is. How much of a character it has.

  • How authentic it is. Does it feel like it's an actual WWII tank or not.

2. The Build

  • How well did you execute your idea

  • How good it looks

  • How much effort did you put into your build.

  • Tried to keep partcount as low as possible. (builds above 1000 part must be reeeeeally good to reach higher placing)

3. Function

  • Ruining the original tanks basic features (which are: turret rotation and gun elevation, working suspension, gunsight and weaponry. you can modify them but be careful with it) will automatically disqualify you from the challenge

  • Any new functions/features and their execution.

  • Authenticity. NO modern stuff like missiles or something are added. Anything like that will automatically disqualify you from the challenge

+ Plus points

  • Name. You can gain plus points by adding a name to your Tiger and/or names for it's crewmen.

  • Story. another plus is if you write a little story about your Tiger in the description. Stuff like: which battles did it participate in, or the events of a specific battle, fate of the crew, etc. be crative.

Dates:

The Challenge deadline is: February 16 (Saturday) 2019. 12:00 Central European Time (UTC +1) Every upload after that won't be counted

[Closed]

Winners will be announced on February 17 (Sunday) 2019

Prizes:

1st Place: 20 upvotes + 5 spotlights

2nd Place: 10 upvotes + 3 spotlights

3rd Place: 5 upvotes + a spotlight

Honorable mention*: 1 upvote and a spotlight

Everyone else: 1 upvote

*Honorable Mention is a build that isn't good enough to get a placing but I still like it for its creativity or some other reason

If you still don't get the idea, here are some examples for you:


Tiger 237 "Stefan" from Battlefield V


*Schultz's Tiger Ace from Company of Heroes

Other non-Tiger I. examples of customisation:


"Fury" from the movie Fury


The "First In Bastogne" Sherman Jumbo


Captured Tiger II.

Note: all participants must be successors of this post

    @AdlerSteiner I meant like removing the headlights, or sideskirts etc. small parts, not the whole tank.

    Your task is to download this stock Pz.Kpfw. VI. Tiger I. ausf. H1 and put (or remove, but mostly put) stuff on it, such as:
    when you said remove
    you meant you can also remove the tank and make a new one

    @AdlerSteiner I'm planning to make a whole series of WWII tanks, and the Tiger I. and its variants was the first step in this, but I'm already working on the next one

    @asteroidbook345 @AnoniMosu as I stated in the description, changing the basic features (which includes the armament of the tank) is forbidden, sorry. The idea is that the tank itself remains a Tiger I. It doesn't change into a flaktiger or anything else, you just add stuff to make it a unique looking Tiger I.

    remove the armour, just mount a gun on the platform. That’s something the germans would do.
