Good onya mate, sounds like you have all your proverbial s##t squared away , high, tight, and to hand........
All the pics of 'logged-up' Tigers I have seen have only one log on each side at most, but, if it feels good, get ya log-on :thumbup:

Be good to see pics when you can for sure.

Cheers Herman.
I was going for 2 logs on the port side, but hey - what the hell !
Why is it, when you get halfway through a job (Tank stripped down & bagged) something always shows up to press the "Pause" button ? Knocked offf me Motorbike 2 weeks ago. Fine except a mashed fairing. so last 2 weekends and this one, spent tarting her back up! (Oh - and 'er indoors is demanding some wallpaper scraping assistance in the front room !) Grin and bear it ! nothing else for it. If it drags out much longer, It'll be too cold to paint in the skunkworks, so will maybe use the newly decorated front room then eh ? I think not. I value my life.( I'd be safer being re-knocked off the bike !) ASAP though - honest!

Gazbo Hi,
I would bet there were wide grins at your expectation of an early finish to your build, :D
A lot of us long ago accepted that we would probably be years at any or all of our Tanks,
Just when you think you are done, a casual remark on the Forum or a snippet of information from a new source and you blow the dust off and start over,
Trust me been there done that. :lolno:
Shaun.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Well.....HAHA..... I think, as time SEEMS to be at a premium, it will be a case of " once it's done, it's staying done !" (To start would be nice though). I have turned a little fire extinguisher from ally, and made the bracket from bean tin material with a buckle made from a paperclip as yet unpainted, but that's on. Gonna fashion some grab handles from wire. Also fabricating a towing lug from ally stock, which will (Hopefully ) be functional, as the next project (Eventually) is a 1:16 size, (but maybe not fully scaled) PAK 43, to hook on and drag round the garden. Made a start on that one a while back. All the bits I've made so far, are in a cardboard box, next to the bag of Tiger... Oh, and I've got the lad's Bulldog to weather, and an M1A1 to start on. Now where's that wallpaper brush gone ?............
