Ivano's superb battery and oil bottles to complement your Armortek tigers.

The steel tracks arrived today, fitted and are as smooth as silk in fact I can't believe how smooth they run, see video.
The tiger is on blocks so the road wheels are not in contact with the track and are just hanging there but look at the way the track hangs and runs at speed, it's got that nice heavy "wip" at speed.


Just need to leave the track out in the rain for a few weeks, no painting of weathering to be done! I'm very pleased thank you Liam!

I've been pickling the steel tracks for about 10 days, I think they could do with another few days but there's no hurry.

Tiger 331 running gear and firing trials video with twinkly music, and only a light charge for the cannon this time.

It's worth taking note of the suspension travel on 331, it's taken me years to get this much deflection in the right palaces , it's soft yet it's stiff but all in the right places. I have lots more video in slow motion which shows the suspension doing it's thing, so watch this space!
I'm trying to load some interesting colour photos of 331 but it just says they are to large even after I have edited them. So back to facebook!

Hi,

I agree, lovely model

Cheers

[Stephen White]

Superb replica, very realistic photography, Phil, worth the effort. Stephen

[Phil Woollard]

As promised the suspension study video using Tiger 331, there's nothing wrong with the Armortek setup but it's always nice to take it to another level

[Stephen White]

Enjoyed the video but there's a special place in Hell reserved for that Muzak. I wasn't quick enough with the mute button....

Phil. have to agree with Stephen...try Two steps from Hell Mick

[Phil Woollard]

Philistines it's supposed to be relaxing music to compliment the slow motion put your feet up video! Do you realize that most members of the public randomly viewing video on the tube will simply move on without audio, also black and white format is another turn off!

Some interesting moody photos to follow and here's one of them. Those steel tracks are just about the right colour now.
