MATORRO JAGDTIGER CONVERSION

[HERMAN BIX]

Since when did "Grinch" take over from Scrooge ?

Modern age mate !
Scrooge is a fiscally prudent type that only sees the value of things.
A Grinch is a type that sees no good or benefit for the entire concept of the xmas doctrine !!

During a moment of distraction, I went looking for other inspiration for this thing.
Well this is not what I was looking for, but the concept is great.
Now I have a loader for the crew. I wonder if she will cope with the 128mm shells ?

You need a set of twins, the Jagdtiger had 2 loaders cause the munitions were 2 parts.

But she's hot!

For a drawing , Yes I agree , she's HOT.

As I am now getting jaded by the hold up with the electronics, I decided to try to do something to keep the fire burning.
I got out the trusty brulee burner & used the screwdriver in the wine cork to do the welds & flame cuts.

Placed the track hangers on one side, then realised there is going to be a lot of putty-welds to do around them
Lifting hooks on the roof and hatch stoppers on the drivers & radio positions.
I m still working on a plan to replace the engine hatch, so will not do anything back there yet.

Stuff like foliage loops and tool & cable holders will be done once the thing is secured to the lower(whenever that is )

LOOKING GOOD!

Well, that is a lot of hooks there. I have to say, the kind of priming, and be it the surfacer, makes the tank look much more natural, even under Building conditions. I should do something like that on mine as well.

Herman,
You've certainly turned that Matorro into a better than Torro version of this Armor, detail wise. Following along.

Painless

Herman you have built up an amazing jagdtiger. I am currently constructing one myself. Your weld lines and attention to detail is top notch. Hoping mine will be half as good you are an artist!

Any luck with the electronics yet?

That drawing of the "loader" is quite interesting

Cheers mate, all the hangers are for the 3 rows of two spare tracks on the later versions, where the early ones had 2 rows of two.
The putty does add character, plus it covers the join !

Once I get the thing sorted for electronics I can close it up & really get on with it.
