RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Armortek day at Bovington Tank Museum saturday 28 September. I will be there with Tiger. Worth a visit.

Due to arrival of two new babies in in the house I have decided to move everything to a new hobby workshop in the garden.















Also, new superdetailed muzzle brake for Tiger 1.

Very nice workshop John

Hi John a super hobby workshop. Hope you have heat in the shop.... might get a bit chilly in the winter unless you live in a snowless area...

Fully insullated and heated. TV, internet, chilled beer.

WOW!!!!! what more could a guy wish fore!!!!!

Some work on second Armortek late tiger 1. Shed is filling up.

Zimmerit applied using milliput.

Base coat of RAL 7028

I thought it would be nice to light the interior. Here is first attempt at crew lighting. The bulbs will run from the main power source or possibly a secondary source.

The light can be closed off by just as the original.











Three of these should light the turret nicely.

Looking for help with lighting in other areas of the vehicle. I saw wat appear to be two lights above the control panel in the driver position. Maybe something else? What about lights in the radio operator position. Any body know how these areas lit. Also, what about the fighting compartment. Any information apreciated.

I have improved the first attempt at making the lights and have now completed 3 turret crew lights. If anybody has information on lighting in the hull it would be great. Also, did the instrument panel have back lighting?

More work on the turret interior fitting gunner and loader seats. Not yet complete and just loosely fitted. Also fighting compartment floor and turret floor. Again just loosely fitted. Still to fit lights in turret roof.
