Pictures poor quality as I could not get a proper camera in but I think they look a bit more period anyway.

Been a while since I made anything new but I have made the front supports and some racks for the Gurtsacks. Front structural supports are possibly a prototype. Might make something better.

Thanks Phil. The second tiger is a rescue kitty. I think it was becoming a dogs toilet. All stripped and cleaned up like new. Amazing how these models can be brought back to life. It's another 2007 release late tiger. I might build as a command vehicle just for variation.

Thanks Colin. Crew wearing the hats you gave me. Thanks again. The primer used on the new tiger is autotech professional etch primer. It's a darker shade than upol but I am very happy with it. The spray nozzle on the can is much better than the upol. No clogging at all. I got 12 cans for £54 plus postage on ebay. Quite a saving over upol and appears to be very good quality.

That 212 is a Art on tracks Mr Fitz.

The problem with producing something so awesome is you have left yourself wide open to me bombarding you with questions when i start painting mine after the rebuild in 3/4 weeks :)

No problem Bob. You did the scary zimmerit bit. Painting will be more fun. I'm still learning how to paint these things. Hopefully better next time.

Hi John.

Glad the paint worked out for you, makes it much better when you give someone a heads up and it turns out O.K. lol
Tank looks smart.
Cheers Paul :wink:
