King of Steel, a legend that strikes terror into enemies' hearts
The Tiger I tank was a heavy tank developed by Nazi Germany in the middle of World War II. It was first deployed to the North African theatre in 1942 and subsequently saw action on both the Eastern and Western Fronts. Armed with the high-velocity 88 mm KwK 36 gun, it could penetrate the armour of nearly all Allied tanks at a range of 1,000 metres, while its frontal armour of up to 100 mm struck fear into its adversaries. Though only 1,347 units were produced, the Tiger I earned its place as one of the most legendary tanks of World War II thanks to its overwhelming individual combat capability, and its name remains synonymous with heavy armoured firepower to this day.

Every masterpiece begins with a single sheet of steel. At Metalligallery, we don’t just sell puzzles; we curate a gallery of engineering marvels that you bring to life with your own hands.
Our story began with a simple fascination for mechanical structures and cultural heritage. We looked at the world’s grandest architecture—from the majestic eaves of ancient Chinese palaces with their complex interlocking brackets, to the soaring steel beams of modern global landmarks—and we wondered: How can we capture this timeless beauty and hold it in the palm of our hands?
The answer was found in 0.1mm laser-cut precision.
By utilizing premium stainless steel and brass, we transformed historical temples, legendary ships, and cultural icons into thousands of miniature parts, waiting to be awakened. No glue, no solder. Just the pure, satisfying harmony of physical interlocking elements.
To us, every kit is an unfinished sculpture, and YOU are the artist.
When you spend hours at your desk, clicking pieces into place, the noise of the outside world fades away.
