Fun stuff! Where did you get the film crew? If I had to guess, I'd say Preiser.
M47 was probably the closest you can get to a Tiger II. The few surviving Tiger IIs are in museums. I do remember back in the late '80s M47s being at the NTC that were going to be used as targets. Too bad ...
Hey ! Is that film crew Union ?
Re the movie Battle of the Bulge; one nice touch, at the beginning, when the senior general is showing Robert Shaw his "toy room" with models of the new "wonder weapons", the model used to represent the Tiger 2 is - an M-47!! Same as the actual tanks used to represent the Tiger 2s in the film - so, maybe not accurate; but at least consistent!
jeigheff the film crew is 20mm metal from B&B Miniatures from the UK, pretty sure, at least 15 years old. I have found camera crews here and there and even made a few myself. Stay tuned for more!
Thanks for reading and commenting.

Except for my ACW collection none of my figures are union.
There are no operational Tiger II in the world as far as I know. The M47 is about the same size and vaguely similar shape, but much lighter.
Thanks for reading and posting, Legion4.

Yes, banzai55, that is a nice touch.
I wonder where that prop is now? GI Joe would find it formidable.
Thank you for reading and posting.
