Dont be writing stuff in here when you have chainblock units to make !!capt midnight wrote: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?

Re: HL Tiger 1 conversion to Bergetiger
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...
Thanks, guys!

Re: HL Tiger 1 conversion to Bergetiger
Jeez Mr Midnight.........what part of "are they ready yet" needs clarifying
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

Re: HL Tiger 1 conversion to Bergetiger
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?"HERMAN BIX wrote:Jeez Mr Midnight.........what part of "are they ready yet" needs clarifying

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

Re: HL Tiger 1 conversion to Bergetiger
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
