Early Tiger I - Taigen Build

I agree. I searched their site for "magnetic" and it was the only hit.

Also, I have a ton of mini magnets from my order for this conversion. I could mail you some if you would like. They are the rare earth strong kind.

Thank you very much for your offer, it is very kind of you

But I'm not desperate for any magnets at the moment, and I need to work out some sizes for other things. I made my daughter a steel blackboard over 4 foot long and three foot high for her kitchen, so I need various other magnets and can't avoid making an order.

While I wait, I finished the tools and things.

Very nice job. I especially like the jack and bolt cutters.

Some great work being shown, what site did you get the photo etch from.

[orntar]

I got them both from eBay. Voyager 16011 fender kit just for the exhaust shields. And Voyager 16009 mid version detail. I didn't use all the mid version items, because mine is early, but it has a lot of good stuff

I assume you are going to use "Voyager/Aber" cable clamps to hold the tools in place,
I tried,Oh how I tried but I finally decided that life is too short so I bought a couple of bags of large Mato Metal Buckles and a couple of bags of small Mato metal buckles from ----
http://www.forgebeartanks.com
I snipped off the short pin then using a small round file on the underside I filed a groove the same size as the tool handle then using an M2 DIE I chased a thread down the long shaft and pin viced a hole and pushed the clamp into place finishing off by putting a washer and a nut on the thread under the clamp.
A smear of metal etch paint then a coat of "Humbrol 62 (Leather) on the top surface of the clamp and the jobs done.
I can do ten of these clamps in the same time it took me to do one "Voyager/Aber" Clamp.

Jarndice, thanks for the advice.

Currently I am using the Voyager tool clamps. And boy are they tiny. So far so good. But I am up to the painting portion of the project, I will have to see how it works out. I have the clamps separated into their 3 parts for painting. I may give up on that .

Orntar I just received the Quick Release System which consists of four 5mmx3mm neo-dymion magnets and four 3mmx3mm neo-dymion magnets and a sheet of illustrated instructions in German priced at 9.95 Euros plus postage.
I just went to my goto supplier of magnets---
www.first4magnets.com
to find out what they charged for them,
They don't sell them in fours the smallest amount is a pack of twenty five,
5x3 X pack of 25= £5.18
3x3 X pack of 25= £4.02
Total 50 neo-dymion magnets £9.20,
Like a fool I was expecting a completed pair of arms.
So I now find myself doing what I could have done years ago and for a lot less money.
This is one product I most certainly will not be recommending
