Micky B's Tiger

Hi Guys, I hope the new year has started well for you all and that you and your families are all well.

I have been reading your postings regularly and feel rather guilty that I have not been joining in....but work and family issues have held things up a bit. Well I have been doing the odd evening in the shed and making some progress, so here are a few fotos of my Tiger project to date.

I know how some of you just love fotos......and some of you are quite critical....but I know you all mean well. So there are no prizes for the ba****d that notices the small area of Zimmerit that I missed marking with the tool. I like it anyway.

I bought a Badger airgun, and so far I have used about 5 large cans of compressed air(£35), so I would recommend that anyone contemplating spraying more than one tank buys a compressor....it works out cheaper. The paints are Tamiya, and the weathering kit I am about to use is the rust and dirt kit from Modelzone in Manchester. That shop is amazing......it has the largest armour model section I have seen...and the best book and paint selection as well. Maybe you know better , but I haven't found better myself. There are two in Manchester, if you go there go to the Big one not the little one in the Arndale center.

How'd ya like the Creeping death turret eh? I cant wait to introduce the bleedin cat that sits on the roof of my convertible to it!!!!

The guys at Creeping death are amazing....answering all e-mails the same day...and full of enthusiastic comments. We have simplified all wiring connexions to the El-mod kit and even I can now understand it without breaking out in a sweat. I cant recomend them enough.

Next step is the El-mod......then it's the neighbours cat and my tank humping tortoise....will he get a surprise when he comes out of hibernation...ha ha.

I now have a PZ3 with all metal suspension upgrade...the Tiger with all metal upgrade, and today the postman delivered a PZ4......now you know that it's all your fault don't you.........and I want a sherman......and a Ferrari....

So I have quite a large pile of reduntant bits .........

Enjoy the fotos lads....and I welcome your comkments            Mike
