A Tiger needs its stripes

Another day with more progress

1. Shaved/filled the remaining tools off the deck, have yet to decide on the Barrel cleaner clamps.
2. Mass 3D printing of a Bustle bin extension + mounts, designed and printed my own front Vent and also made a start on turret track mounts!

All in all at least a productive day!

I am impressed by your skill and patience: sanding off the relief-cast tools must have been tedious work with the potential for damage to the upper hull. Did you use a small electric hobby sanding tool? Did you cut off some with a knife blade?

I used a hobby knife, Snips and then different grits of small foam sanding blocks, some filling is still required wich takes me onto today's work:

I added conduit (copper wire) 1.5mm. for the bosh lights on the hull then proceeded to give the upper and lower hull their first red oxide Primer. Mostly to see the high and low points. So I can further fill and sand the hull.

Ouch: I know the feeling: primer always reveals little flaws in filling holes, seams, and marred spots. From what I have seen in the photos, you did remarkably well getting all smoothed out.
