The front scratch built light is now fitted  ( Thanks Mart ) and I have zimmerited the front with battle damage as requested by Chunk  . Ive also added the front weld seem. The drivers veiwing slot just needs tyding up a bit after opening this to.

More comming soon Chunk 

looks good already hope it continues that way

More zimmerit ,  Ive done under the skirts too . I must love doing zimmerit  :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ Ive also thinned down the skirts .

Getting there Chunk will do some more tom probally make the track cable holders and zimmerit  :-\ :-\ :-\ the other side . 

Had a night of zimmeriting , I must love it        .Done the rear end . Still goto remove both moulded convoy lights , make exhausts , make reflector and decide how or whats the best way to mount the jack. Oh and another working convoy light  :-\ .

Made the later war track cable ' clip ' mounts and end holders  . And guess what  ! more zimmerit . Will get a brake from it now as next jobs are sort out rear suporstructor , engine deck , mesh grills , weld seams , front hatch lips  and decide if to move the turret and fit the turret protection ring  :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ . Oh you can just see Ive started to scratch build the late war turret parts , periscopce cover mid mounted vent and self defence weapon all scartch built , god Im tight  . I will post some pictures of this once I get a bit more done .

Had ago at the engine deck , mesh grills and front hatch lips today . They look a bit rough but will tidy them up tom and try and get top deck finished . Just got to make engine cover , do that tom ?

There's not much of the original Tiger left, you could have been even tighter and scratch built the whole thing!  Only kidding, it's coming together well, great work.

John

looking good
