this part of the box grill build is nearly finnished,just some painting,next step is to fit the secondry grills underneath these,i used 9ba nuts and bolts to fix to the deck,thanks to per sonnervik for the description of how they fitted.

Works of art Simon. The grills fit right in with the rest of your superb build.

Simon, I have the same question with Jeffrey: "Will you be taking orders on this part?"

great to get some feedback,it was quite straight forward to construct the grills not as bad as i thought they would be,pre cut brass strips of the right width helped,any kingtiger builders on here could make them with ease,all the best simon manning

Incredible work
The Top Deck is amazing.
How do you get the rust look?

these anti mine shields at least i think thats what they are,were tricky to make and fit having no good photos to go by,made again from brass and soldered together,a bit more finnishing off required and that will do,thanks fellow builders for the good feedback ,simon.

Hi Simon,
Thanks for the PM.You have made a great job on the rear grills and added the extra guard hanging down from under the turret.This I will have to do along with adding the aerial tube.
Cheers Jeff Hyder.

Simon

Glad i could be of help...
In the future i'll go back to Full and hopefully i get something new to see.
For now everything is a bit on a hold.
Lack of material as plans and measerments, museums closed, funds, time, ...
