I’m back - Taigen Tiger 1 1/16 scale

[SgtMalarky]

After 18 months of inactivity I am back on it!
Just purchased a metal Mato deck. It has come with full set of tools, cables, clamps and working engine grills.
It means I now have surplus tools so will be able to pass these on to anyone who needs them at just the carriage cost.
I am in the process of getting it to fit my existing hull. So far I have cut out the hatch inners as these came cast.
Question: with regard to the tools can anyone tell me which had wooden handles, ( axe for sure).
I intend to modify thus.

This is enough to get me going again at this stage.

Thanks for the info.

I was under the impression the handles on those wire cutters pictured above were made of bakelite?

I understand they were Bakelite as well.
They are track pin clip pliers from what I have been told.
Used to spread the clip that holds the pins in place.
Could be wrong, have been before but was mistaken

To what was written in several other sites about the cutters it was compressed paper and only the thicker sections were bakalite caps.

Great info guys, thanks for sharing! There's always something new to learn about these things, I love it.

This is my interpretation of the cable clamps. I have drilled out the cable clamps and fitted Schumo wing nuts. Am I on the right lines?
