Jimster!
In a bit here (as Builds go) your Commander and mine can talk shop. Great looking stuff there!

Thanks jarndice, but not the best diet plan.
Painless, I thought this would get your butt in gear to utilize your 1/16 skull plan.

Jim,
I'm off the Forum for a little while and you go and do this!
Absolutely love it, so very cool! You do know how Boje feels about bones though?!?! 
Cheers,
Eric.

Re: My Tiger Tank Project
No big news to report on my Initial Production Tiger 1 but I thought you would like to know that having the starting handle mounted in loops to allow it to swing freely is the way to go. No more lost starter handles.
Also, I managed to completely ruin the right side of my Henntec idler adjuster (cheap whiskey and American impatience) so I ordered the repair parts which were sent quickly via DHL. It’s so easy for me to strip the grub screws! I also made one of the smoke grenade dischargers damaged and hanging by a wire. Anyhoos. Just a pic of two showing how “Ol’ Ugly” is holding up.

Re: My Tiger Tank Project
"Ol' Ugly" looks the part, Jim! I am impressed by how skillfully and effectively you uglified, rustified, grubbified the beastie! Bravo! Now here's an idea you can likely handle with ease: can the starting handle go "clank, clank" as the Tiger rolls along?
Re: My Tiger Tank Project
It does. I might need to find a sound for it.

Re: My Tiger Tank Project
I think you figured out that I was not being facetious at all about the "clank, clank" sound. I would like it! In fact, I have one of the "old" (not compared to me 
) Mato M4A1 Shermans. Even though the tank has more faults than San Andreas, I like the sound. It is somewhat close to the sound of the big radial starting up (I have heard those radials in restored WWII bombers and fighters). When the tracks move, everything is drowned out by "squeak-squeak-squeak." What a hoot: I even managed to brighten up the sound a bit with a new speaker. So clank 'em if ya got 'em!
