Re: My Tiger Tank Project
Simply too much! But I guess you're right. Now that we know how to fix my mess we could always go back and undo it!
Cheers, Eric.

Re: My Tiger Tank Project
Introducing the newest tank crew member! His name is Boje and he earns his keep by running night security and has the uncanny ability to sniff out an ambush. Of course when the action gets a little too hot he jumps down into the loader’s hatch. Now my “barking dog” sound effect has a source!

That swivelling head movement- simply priceless, Jim. It made me smile so much my teeth nearly fell out!
( nah, they may look like battle-damaged tombstones, but they're still my own, in reality).
Friday is my libation day, and so I shall slurp for Queen, Country and- of course- for you and the Forum! Slainte Mhor! I think the Panzer Pate swivel is the first I've ever seen on RCTW-so, that makes it unique, just like your Leningrad Tiger. Thus, (and this is prompted, jointly, by your exhortation and Tiger's Auspuf) "Lang may yer Lum Reek!!"
(note: dialect 'Reek' is related to German noun , 'Rauch' and vb.'Rauchen- to smoke')

Re: My Tiger Tank Project
Oh, yes- and that's a very impressive, crisp and well-framed brace of Panzer figures.

Re: My Tiger Tank Project
Thank you so much! This Tiger project is not only mine but it partly belongs to the many kind forum members who provided helpful pieces of advice and knowledge. All the informative links, photos, and generously donated detail parts provided by members of this great forum led to the Tiger that I now have. So it’s pretty much been a group effort.
I can’t remember the last time my Lum Reeked but maybe I should have it looked at.

Re: My Tiger Tank Project
Oh my God that's hilarious! "Lum reeked", l just about soiled myself laughing. The Ozark Mountains are echoing with my laughter. Goes great with my juvenile sense of humor! Yes, Jim by all means get that checked by a Doctor!

Re: My Tiger Tank Project
Speaking of doctors, my wife and I both tested positive for Covid-19 on the 3rd so I’ve got some time off to work on my Tiger. That’s why I’ve made so much progress with my projects. We’re probably getting released to go back to work next Wednesday. Our only real symptom is total loss of the sense of taste and smell. Very weird times we live in.

Re: My Tiger Tank Project
Thanks, man. I hated to really mention it but I feel fine as a lark. I almost feel guilty being off work. Almost.

Re: My Tiger Tank Project
That BLOWS! Glad the two of you are doing well. We have two clients that have had it, another long time client whose adult son passed away from it during it's peak up in Chicago, and my adult niece had it and was sicker then she has ever been. This also was in Chicago during the peak. She had a coughing fit, was on the way to get a drink of water, passed out and cracked her skull open on the refrigerator. At that point, the hospital decided that she needed to be seen...and tested for Covid!?!
Too bad your Tiger is almost done...um, er, is it? At least you can play with your toy, we're all waiting for some new videos. Horrible waste of libations with no taste. Kind of like Kramer and the Mackinaw peaches! Really glad you guys are alright. I've seen movies that are too close to this reality of ours. Strange days indeed! By the way, I knew you were feverish last night!
