Thanks guys, Mr D is a hard task master but the results speak for them selves I guess, we work very well as a team.

[Phil Woollard]

I'm not finished yet. Enots! The fitting of the "enots", well all those that I can get to anyway.

[Phil Dawe]

A happy workforce is a productive workforce. It must be the Christmas party you have promised them if they get the Rolls finished before Christmas

[Phil Woollard]

More detail parts and some final fetling.

[Chang]

The more we see this guy, the more I feel he is you Phil.

[Björn Johansson]

Just love it

[Phil Woollard]

Phil sent me this great late example of a stuck RRAC using one of its "ditching beams".

[Phil Woollard]

Possibly the very last job......the semaphore flags stowed on the turret.

[Graham P Hough]

Beautiful job, Phil. It is a museum quality build.

Looks superb Phil, What a great model, so much overlooked in the Armortek world, often under the Radar, but a very interesting subject. regards simon.

While doing the internet browsing I came across a photograph of "TIGRIS". From Iraq 1941. Lovely caunter scheme so there might be room for a follow up

[Phil Woollard]

The later models look really substantial , they had I believe a Ford small truck chassis and running gear, hence the bigger wheels and tyres but all doable , it you want Just the caunters look then that's a lot more straightforward.
I'm having a new double garage/ pump house/ large workshop built this summer, my plan is to have a very large island work bench big enough for four builds at the same time with more benches and hydraulic tables around the edges. Also enough racks to store Phil Dawe's huge collection of Armortek unbuilt kits.
I have lots of new work and a growing collection of models like x3 Tiger 1, V2, V1, Flak 37 88, huge 1/4 scale Panther and associated ( which takes up a lot of room ) x2 Stuarts and enough spares to make maybe 2 more Tigers. I've also ordered a new lathe so my Myford will be up for sale soon, although 2 lathes would be useful. Happy days.
