Early Tiger I - Taigen Build
Re: 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.

Re: Early Tiger I - Taigen Build
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.

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.

Re: Early Tiger I - Taigen Build
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

Re: Early Tiger I - Taigen Build
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.

Re: Early Tiger I - Taigen Build
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 .

Looks just like what i did to mine.
[/quote]
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
