Excellent work John!

Hello John, thats one smart looking Tiger....super detail and very fine workmanship....
Have you sorted your tank transporter out yet?
Best wishes.....Mick

No decision on transport yet. I will take measurements at the weekend. I think the trailer option is best. Yours is perfect. Is your homemade box removeable? I have a motorbike and woild like to stick it on a trailer going on holidays sometimes. If you have any plans for your design I would be greatful. I hope to get it mobile over the next few weeks. I will get the exterior detail finished first though. I have a field close to home. Close enough to push the tank there on a trolly.

Hi John,

Nice job so far, the interior details are very beautiful
best regards Yves

John,
Excellent looking Tiger! Its really coming together nicely! Your hand made parts and attention to detail is paying off. Looking forward to the camo paint! Best regards,
Bob

Found some brass half round strips so soldering them to the exhaust covers to give a more correct look. Photos soon, I hope. Also attached my aerial holder tube. Bob, I will go over again with dark yellow before camo. A bit of research needed there I think.

Hello John, the motorcycle trailer adaptation, to transport and carry my Comet to the various 'shows' was pretty much a design, by day to day, trial and error method.
In fact I ordered my tank from Armortek, based on an idea in my mind, that I would be able to use the trailer. I never thought my car was a viable option.
There are no drawn plans as such, but I made a simple photographic record. I will search my photo's and PM them to you.
The one drawback, is that the box container is fixed. Fortunately, my garage is a workshop, so the trailer sits where my car would normally reside.
The box is 3/4 ply and is bolted to a frame of fence posts 3x3. Very heavy, however with the weight of the tank on board, it sits firmly on the road during transit.
I will PM with the details such as they are.....Mick

hi john just seen your pics of the inside details ,very nice love the boxes with the clasps it realy is a great piece of work well done ,all the best ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,nick

Thanks Nick, Just to mention, clasps are from Steve Winstone. I got them as unassembled. If I had'nt recently had my eyes tested and got my first glasses I would not have been able to assemble them. Got the hang of them now after assembling 16 of them. Enough for a few more Tiger interiors.

Added some camo.





Did'nt add any to rear deck as I have more details to add there.

Looks good with your camo John,Great looking Tiger and crew
Cheers
Phil

HI John
i like your camo pattern it realy does look good now , both inside and out ,i have found that the comoflage stage gets me very nervous untill i get the first patterns down i dont usually go with any example i just go with the flow so to speak ,i think thats why i get a bit jumpy i tend to make it up as i go along .What is your method of doing it ,Because you have done a fine job on it ,all the best,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, nick
