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? :haha:

Not sure where to post this, so it's going here.

Here's a couple of shots of the pattern for the chain fall block for the Tigers. Used a couple of different parts, so it looks a bit different from the one I made for my bergetiger. Take a look and give me some feedback before I do the molds...

Jeez Mr Midnight.........what part of "are they ready yet" needs clarifying :haha: :haha: :haha:
Its just this attention to detail and self-critique that will make the quality of the final kits ;perfect.
These systems are all to rare, and seldom added to a build, and you Sir have made it look easy :thumbup: :thumbup:

I just chalk it up to seeing things for what they can be, rather than for what they are supposed to be. The employees at the local stores don't come up and ask me if I need any help when they see that glazed look in ly eyes anymore. They usual get the response of "I'm looking for something about this big around, this tall, and clear. Got anything like that?" :haha:

I'll start on the molds. Got a couple of other small items to do, as well.

I made up 6 of the mounting posts yesterday, as well as prepping the parts for the rubber. I'm pouring it today, so maybe casting resin this evening. Also doing some German jerry cans, drums, helmets, and a couple more odds and ends.

I'll throw a post on here and in the for sale thread when I get them ready to go.

Thanks, guys,

Bill
