Tiger build

> looking for a "Vince Abbot" cupola to buy...if not I'll be scratch building one

Armortek might have the basic parts from the Tiger 131 release, plus Field of Armor stock Mike Stannard's upgrade parts for it.

Adrian.

Hi Adrian...I do have Mikes upgrade kit but it is still off and it looks like I'll end up scratch building one...hopefully I get close to Vince's work of art

Started drum cupola today...such a large piece for a little lathe...but doable

[mark j. radick]

Completed main drum of the commanders cupola...

very much worth the effort, so visible being on top of the vehicle, superb regards simon.

Fantastic again, Mark!

Material deliveries have been slow which is understandable with the current situation so the commanders cupola is on hold for now...I did some painting and detailing and started to scratch build the stowage bin

[mark lawson]

absolutely flawless work, I like what you have done so far with the cupola this once completed will be a work of art, it will be a shame to paint it once complete.

Thanks Mark

Work continues on cupola...finished top plate I made it out of stainless steel so I could hard solder... tomorrow I will start hatch out of stainless...lots of little parts to hard solder

[mark j. radick]

Turned hatch lid and started on the little intricate parts...

Mark, That coupola is looking every bit as good as Vince's - better actually! Superb workmanship. I'm toying with making the bin for my Tiger 1 as well but thought brass may be better. Following with interest. Great thread,
Bob

Work continues on commanders cupola...remade hatch lid and finished hinges...lots of detail parts to yet be made

[mark j. radick]

Progress is slow but steady on the cupola ...it is now functional

Remarkable, too good to paint, i love to see this level of build, regards simon manning.

Seconded. Some very accomplished machining skills. Great to see an inspiring Tiger build.
