"WHITE TIGER"

[HERMAN BIX]

Santa-post arrived with the extra mouthfull I bit off & will now have to chew.....................
The KT arrived in its box with one side a Porsche Turret blurb, the other(which I didnt see and was busy twisting off accordingly) the Production blurb.
I let out a yelp when the turret had the flat face on it once dragged out of the box I can give you the drum !

Herman,
The weathering is coming along beautifully. Any more thoughts on the Diorama base? ( Shack front vs full shack? )
regards,
Painless

That shack is going to be a challenge for sure. Materials aside so for include wooden toungue depressors (unused)for the roof tiles,disposable chop sticks for beams, and small coffee shop stirrers for the upper wall structures under the eaves.
The lower walls Im still searching for.
IF the shack comes together it will be a quarter view similar to the picture, if not, I have a plan 'B'
Space too is a consideration, moving house this weekend so will have to see how things play out in the new joint.
I dont have a media room any more so no real way of shutting out the little sticky-mickies from tampering !

Will do then mate.
I will do a few out-of-the-box pictures etc. over all, its very crisp.
I got the basic version knowing I would pile on the goodies 1

Still moving house mate...............established comms to a basic level, enough to pay bills & get distracted !
Yes, its a 2.4 system, but thats not a huge game breaker for me, it works, and thats delivering the project for starters.

My big problem is time & space..................have bugger all of either right now

Well, Im 99.9% moved into the new place - only the boat to move. Cant find light switches, kick the dishwasher every damn time in the kitchen, fell off the toilet a couple of nights ago (after a big night out with guys in from Germany) trying not to wake the missus up in the dark.............. you know the drill

Got back in the game tonight with the new enviroment dislodging the mental constipation surrounding the track tow cables.
Used hand cut & formed brass to create the cable supports.
For the life of me I cannot explain why these things did my head in.............now Im fitting them after the topcoat is on & thats just B.S.
They will be blended in with dry brushing & weathering once completed.
Anyhoo, all are on except the last one, so I can get the cables right & not stress over the final placement of the last mount.
Used picture wire and the 'aloominum toob' to do a trial loop and crimped ferrule. Not to bad.

I was going to ask why didn't you put the cable mounts on before paint... but you seemed to have covered that pretty well lol....Good to see you back Herman... though now there are so many Tigers on the board... it's kind of crazy
