Capt. Midnight,
Now that's what I was talking about. You make it look easy! ;o) Your Recovery and Repair Tiger is a treat for the eyes. Excellent job on blending the mud too.
regards,
Painless

Marvellous Captain.
Yourheadlight covers seem to work much better than the white metal ones I bought from a well known source.

Re: HL Tiger 1 conversion to Bergetiger
Thanks for all the great comments, guys! I've just got a few more small things I want to do to, then finished.
I haven't forgotten you, Carl. I'm planning on making up another hoist and doing some molds this week. I also want to do some jerry cans and drums.
I might make up several sets of the light covers and see if anyone is interested. All I had to do to mount them was to grind off the front of the LED if it was sticking out. They glued right on to the headlight housing. I did this one, my other Tiger 1, KT, Jagdpanther, and a buddies Panther and PZIV. All looked so much better!

A work of art, and nicely crisp images too
The only thing that could possibly improve its appearance...is..and I really can't think of anything else.. except for a broken down tank hulk, it can be rescuing
Your tank is a treat for the eyes.

Here's an improvement to the beast, as requested...

Rendering aid to a winter Panther. Most likely it"s just overheated!

I think it's all done, just have to get a couple of good shots. I'll also do a show off thread post with some detail pictures. Gonna try and get some without the junky work car in the background.

Re: HL Tiger 1 conversion to Bergetiger
Gonna be working on the chain block tomorrow. I'll get some pictures posted when I get the pattern finished up. I think I'll also do up a few sets of the headlight covers and see if there is any interest.
Many thanks for the ladder idea, Herman. I really liked the way they came out. A buddy wants me to make him one up for his Tiger.
What have I gotten myself into?
