HL-Tiger rommel storage box

Post by birger »

Hi guys,

today you are going to modify the storage box at the back of the turret.

What´s wrong with it?

If you take a look from the above you´ll see, that the box edges are faced almost 90° to the turret.

Image

If you take a look to the original you´ll see, the angle is different.

Image

Now you can either replace the whole box or you can add two corners.

By replacing the whole box you also have to create new brackets for the elevation device.

The easiest way is to add two corners. I show you my way.

First I took a leftover Tiger turret and market the edges I needed.

Image

Then I cut off the corners.

Image

Adjusted them to the box and glued them.

Image

Closed the bottom gap.

Image

At last there is a little grinding work to do. That´s it.

If you don´t have a leftover, you also can use poly and create a corner by using plates.

Greetings
Birger

I know this is an old post, but where can you get a blueprint of the views of the Tiger 1's?
In fact anyone know where you can get it for most of the 1/16 tanks?

Hi, There are two Blueprints sites that I use,
One is free and is not quite as detailed as the other which does make a small charge,
Go to---

www.the-blueprints.com
And----

www.drawingdatabase.com

Just type in what you are searching for and you will be presented with a very long detailed list to select from.
Shaun.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:
