Hi Dale,
Did you copy your design from a real Tiger or is it your own? I am building the late Tiger which comes with L shaped bump stops. They certainly work, but I don't know how authentic they are.
Cheers
Lionel

Hi Lionel,

the real bump stop has not been changed during the time Tigers where built. Not easy to make a 1/6 model. When I started the job, I did not know how diffficult it will be at the end. However, the final result is satifaction for my ambitions.

If you like to go this route, the drawing is attached. Let me know if resolution is too low. I can send the original PDF of my drawing to your email.

Best regards Roland

Thank you Roland
Fantastic piece of work. The photo is fine and clear. I don't have any access to a milling machine so I think that I will struggle to make them as good as yours. I understand that they are hard to see when fitted so I'm sure my limited skills will come up with something?
All the best
Lionel
