The Official Armortek Forum - World leader in one sixth scale metal kits

Well, would you believe it......my son and his partner are arriving tomorrow, for a weekend visit. Consequently, I am 'instructed' to clear the second bedroom.....you know, the one that holds all my tank bits.......women Only joking!!!!!

Sorry to hear your news Mick
Have you had to clear the dining room table aswell
Hope you soon have it back how you like it.
Have a nice weekend.
Cheers
Phil

Loose the bed. I expect to me moved out soon as well. Taking up 3 rooms and a shed with my stuff.

Thank you for your replies Phil and John. The problems arise when I try to move my tank bits back into the spare bedroom, having cleared it.
Slowly making progress on the Jag'd. I am trying to add as many bits and bobs as I go along. These are the bump stops on the rear deck

Hi Michael

I have a room just like yours mine has been renamed and is now known as dad`s study or the library.
For me this works very well as you have to be a member to enter no girls allowed unless they are bringing gifts (cup of tea and a biscuit ) and the only members are my 4 year old grandson Shorty and myself heaven.
Try telling this to your dear wife but ensure you stay out of range of her throwing arm lol.
I have very much enjoyed following your build posts thank you for all the photos.
Good luck with the move.

All the very best

Steve

Hello Steve, and thank you for your post. Life is a compromise in our home.....after fifty six years there is no other way.....fun....stress.....fun......stress, and so on.
I have agreed to remain in the 'third bedroom', I think this is a successful outcome......or not, we will see how things go.
It looks like you have a fine arrangement Steve. Best wishes, Mick.


I think I am turning into 'Alice' in Wonderland..........my room is getting smaller

Hi Mick
your build is looking very good i like the periscopes you have done they look great ,i,m in the same boat as you i have been evicted from the spare bedroom as well only i have no where else to go at the moment so keep the pics coming its good to see it coming together all the best ,,,,,,,,,,,nick

Thank you for the reply Nick. I am trying to add some 'upgrades' as it were. I have to keep within my limitations, really enjoying this Jagdpanther......Mick

Having a go at modelling the drivers periscope from brass. I will solder the top/sides to the lower plate......then shape a piece of perspex for the scope.....

Still cannot get the hang of multiple posts.

Hi Mick
Nice to see you having a go at making some of your own details,
keep the pic's coming.
Cheers
Phil

getting stuck in there michael, its hard to resist a part when you know you can improve it. i did my periscope aswell, keep up the good work , regards simon manning.

Thank you for your replies Phil and Simon. I am using brass plate and trying to improve my soldering skills.
Photo's not taken in order of construction. Really must get the hang of multiple posting.

I have used car repair 'resin' to replicate the periscope lens.

Drivers optic ready to fit in the glacis plate.
