Torro/Taigen kit Tiger

[ronnie42]

Chopped up and resized tools to fit and painted, axe is wrong way round but its got better detail. Might paint up the other one.

Bar needs some silver. clamps will be done in right colour when fixed onto hull.

Easy option the light socket has to go , and a weld line is required before fitting tools.

Its good to look back at the really old builds, if you need to check or wonder if something is correct its the place to go. Mid and late has a weld down the front hull centre.

If the cut goes wrong , filler and a little paint will fix it.

Very nice! Could you please brief-in on the painting process? I believe this model has a metal turret and plastic upper hull.

Weld line cut , tools fitted now some touch up part 2 required.

Hi Toshik I got rid of the metal turret and used a plastic one. Easier to work with , i think a metal turret on the plastic deck is a bad idea.

Ok did you add IR and how?

Hi The kit does not come with a board , fitted an Elmod fusion pro and used servos for the turret.

Tidied up the gouge made for the weld line with stretched sprue , holes filled again and primed.

Touched up the changes, motor deck and fans are a little darker but thats good Wheels ,some dark paint in the hub recesses and metallic silver for teeth and idler wear.attachment=1]PA286124.jpg[/attachment]

Painting the hub voids hides the axle heads.
