My Tiger Tank Project

[jarndice]

I have been sitting here thinking what a magnificent job of work and wishing it were mine and then as I was looking across the top of the radio operators hatch,
Something was missing,
No Periscope
You don't need me to tell you what an easy fix that is, (Acrylic brown body with a "Molotow 1mm pumpmaker chrome pen" painted lens)

It does'nt mean that I don't covet your Tiger because it really is to use a Northern Irish idiom "A Cracker"

Ha ha. I have the detail parts and forgot to install them, jarndice. You always keep me on track and I appreciate your guidance. I was wondering about cutting pieces of film negatives for the brown lens part. Thought I read about that somewhere on here.

You did a great job

I found them! Now to paint and install. My state of Illinois is implementing a “shelter in place” order due to caronavirus so I’ll have plenty of model building time.

For the first time in the history of Great Britain and Northern Ireland a British Prime Minister has ordered all the pubs to shut,
Prime Minister Winston Churchill never came close to shutting the pubs in WW2.
This Covid-19 virus must be really serious

Hell, I’m ready for a day or two at least!

I painted the periscopes brown and cut film negative pieces to fit the part. I used white glue and clamped them with clothes pins until dry. They turned out fairly well. I also added a strip in the driver’s vision port.
Next I fabricated the brackets that held the tow cables in place. I still have to paint them.
