Re: my HL late Tiger 1 build
hi guys thanks for those comments, pete, may be the next meet down bovington we will meet up, it would be my pleasure for you to see my Tiger up close, and of course you can always ask any questions you like about her, i would be happy to answer them, to be honest i like taking her out and having a laugh. the next thing i want to do to her is take out that horrible gun elevation motor and install servos to elevate the gun, and to move the main gun pivot point to where it should be, where the 2 front turret lifting points are,
anyway here is a little video clip of her near where i live, i have aged it abit will have to make some more clips up soon

Brilliant job on that late model Tiger Tony. The cam scheme works well with the zimmeritt and steel wheels. It looks and runs really great.

Re: my HL late Tiger 1 build
thanks chris, i pretty much copied the camo' scheme from the alan hanby Tiger site, but all that zimmerit is coming off when i get a asiatam lower hull and creeping death turret. i'm going to do the zimmerit the way "crispy" showed in the hints and tips page, with a soldering iron, so its going to be a complete strip down and rebuild ::) ::)

I tried Crispy's technique on some areas of my Stug the other day and it worked really well. Very easy to do too. I wish I'd zimmed all my Stug with the same technique now. Still - next time....tiger205 wrote: i'm going to do the zimmerit the way "crispy" showed in the hints and tips page, with a soldering iron, so its going to be a complete strip down and rebuild ::) ::)
