Hi Maarten
Great to see her being well cared for,I have just looked at Dereks photographs.
Have you ventured out in the snow with the Panther and took any Photographs?
Cheers

MG Mount

[Roger Sleep]

Hi Phil,
Looking good nearly time to get it dirty,where did you purchase your MG Mount?
Rog

[phil fitzpatrick]

Hi Roger.
The MG mount is one of Mike Stanards that I bought for my Late Tiger1.
It doesnt quite fit the Armortek cupola ring.
I have almost finished making my own,out of brass tube and other metal parts.
I will put some pictures on when its finished and painted.
Cheers
Phil

Hello Phil,

I put a little piece of plastic or metal between the lock an the
copula ring.
Than it works fine to lock it.
best regards Yves

[phil fitzpatrick]

Hi Yves
Yes it grips the ring ok just like in my pictures,but the lip is a lot shorter than
the bottom of the ring.
I am only having a go at making one myself for the challenge
Cheers
Phil

Nice use of 'scale' foliage

Hi Adrian
I Looked at most of my trees and from the smallest piece to the biggest branch it
remained flat and in layers of all different scales,so I thought well there must be
some 1/6 th in there somewhere
I sealed them with several coats of hair spray(firm hold).
Cheers
Phil
