[Tigers] Lots of work on the Tiger today.

[Tony Somebody]

Hi- All the tanks arent made of the same material BUT I do have one thats brass. I dont paint it. I do however use brasso a few times a year to shine that baby up. Just thought I would mention it. I have others that paint makes them look better but the brass one looks great when polished.
