Hi Robert,

You late Tiger 1 is stunning in detail.
I am building a 2007 late Tiger 1. The kit does not include the antenna storage tube and mounts. I am try adding that myself. From your June 2021 photo (See attached). I wonder how did you install the 2 tube mounts, and how to lock the storage tube on the mounts? I'll be much appreciated if you can share the assembly drawing figure to show how.

Hello Chang
Thanks for the nice words, I am only starting to learn this trade.
Here is some pics from that process, and I use silver solder.

I am Happy that you appreciated this.

Robert.

Hello Robert,

Thank you for the quick answer and many detailed photos. That helps me a lot.
One last question : I estimate the tube's length is about 35cm. Is it correct?

Best regards,
Lerh Chang

Hello again Chang.

No problems with your questions, happy to help.
My tube is 360mm, but I am not sure that it is correct. I only had photos to look at.

Have a great building day and stay safe.

Had a great day at our woodland course today.
Did some test with my main canon in my Tiger also.
Here is a small youtube you can look at.
Turn up the volyme.



Have a nice weekend.

Hello again.
I have discovered that the side skirts on my late Tiger One, are from a early Tiger.
So I have made a drawing on the new side skirts mounts will be.
So now that template is going to be made in my mill, so I can make some new holes in my Tiger side.
And make new side skirts in Brass.
The measurements are in mm.
Happy working to you all.

If any want the pdf send me a mess.

Have a nice weekend to you all.

Hi Robert,
Really like the gun smoke. It is possible for you to share details of how you engineered it?

Hello Alastair

Here you have some pic of how I did it.
The insert is made of steel.
I use an empty cartridge of suitable caliber, and I triggers the charge (Blackpowder) with 5volts.
I found some thing online, look for electric fireworks.

Have a nice day.

Hi Robert.

Great build, and amazing work so far.

May i ask you a question on your roadwheels?
What size of nuts/bolts did you use on the inner and outer bolt circles?

TIA

That is amazing realistic firing sequence. I love all the brass details you've added. One fantastic Tiger!
