Good Evening!
The Shipment from Forgebear arrived today and along with the repair loom for the PzIV were the detail parts for the Jagdtiger. In this post, I included some pics from a great Research Book I found online and a pic of some supporting Infantry provided by our own Jnewboy. ;o)

Nice haul, Painless. I see that the box took a bashing, but apparently everything survived. :clap: What are the details on the little fellow with the Panzerfaust? SOL model?

Good Morning, Gentlemen,
I have a couple of those figures from Jnewboy now. I think they are customized from a small release 1/18 scale figure set from a few years ago. Jnewboy can tell us more. I think I have one stock figure from the set that I picked up myself and use in my Pak40 setup.
regards,
Painless

I finally had some time while the Spousal Unit was Streaming to start work on the Jagdtiger for real. I labored through using Glue remover, files, and mini plastic scribes and forming tools to remove the outside accessories without ruining them or the armor surface. So far so good! Time to move on to locating some metal cables and filling all the attachment points. More to follow!

Good afternoon!
I certainly do. I use as little as possible and wash the plastic afterwards to prevent softening or deformation. The product's name is Un-Cure.

Thanks: I have that one and two other brands of CA debonder. I think they are all pretty much the same and smell like fish. ;D :) I'd bet you know that In many instances, one can carefully pry off the pre-installed items undamaged--but not always. 8O

Max!
Thank you for looking in! I'll try to keep it exciting, my Friend. I was on the verge of tossing the Taigen components on the Pz IV Build and talking to you about Clark boards but I finally got it to work correctly. The Stuart still awaits!

Painless
