Hi Phil;
Great build, Very detailed. Your tri-color camouflage looks very realistic. Even more impressive is the nice and neat work in the hull with the electronics. Great work, very inspirational!

Hi Phil, its been awhile since I did any tank modelling, (building a 1/6th steam loco at the moment) but I always look in on the forum and I have to congratulate you on the great detail you are making for your Tiger, well done Regards Jeff

[bryanrmassie]

Hi Jeff
Thanks for your nice comments on my Tiger build
Will you be building some flat cars for the Tanks
Is your 1/6th loco scratch build or part kit?
I remember being amased at the big engines I have seen at the
South West Model Show.
Cheers
Phil

Hi Brian
Thanks very much for your nice comments
A lot of the exterior parts are Mike's and Steve's and the Turret interior
parts are Johns,so my time is spent enjoying fitting them and trying to d0
them justice.
I made some little bits on the Hull myself and the close defence weapon,fuse box
and Intercom panel inside the Turret.
Just making these few parts myself,makes me appreciate what the Guys do to produce
the aftermarket bits.
Making my bits takes me a long time,just a couple of hours each night and more on
the weekend between jobs.
Cheers
Phil

Words fail me Phil.

Hi Phil, Fuse boxes and close defence weapon look great. I have been very busy making up a couple of sets of interior parts. Working on plans for the loader and gunner seats. Hope to start next week. Driver view port also in progress and new full length floor and aluminium roof supports with fittings. Where is the elevation motor in the new release tiger kit? The older set up interferes with the location for the model elevation motor cover to which the loader seat is fitted.

Hi Bob
Thanks Mate not like you to be short of words
Hope you have settled in now to your new home.
Thanks John
On the Late Tiger1 2012 the elevation arrangement is on the left of the Gun Mount.
There is a picture on my page 29 showing off some of your parts and you will see the
new type of design.
So there is more room for the bridge now on the right hand side.
I will be very much interested in your new parts when you have them available.
Cheers
Phil
