I did a little painting today and thanks to Tim for the link. The color is spot on and I am very happy
Please excuse my excitement, but these bump stops are beyond words. Many thanks Steve and Tim!
Cheers!

Re: Rocky's Tiger
The wheels are on and what a sense of accomplishment!
Fortunately, Joe sent a helper with a wrench....
A much different suspension from the newer kits.....
I apologize for the bad pics, the lighting was bad.
Tomorrow the sprockets and the tracks go on....

It's great oven roasted in foil Not sure about a hound caught one though...
Looks like you've been making good progress with the Tiger.
Getting the tracks on is certainly one of the most satisfying milestones with these kits.

Re: Rocky's Tiger
Thanks Adrian and the tracks are on! It does give a great sense of accomplishment and some sore muscles
The early hub looks really good.
I am really having fun!
Cheers,
Rocky

Re: Rocky's Tiger
Looking good Rocky
Do my eyes deceive me or is that evidence of blood that front road wheel
Having been mauled myself - which included losing a fingernail - I know from first hand experience that these things can bite back

Just a small scratch from a castle bolt
My back is a little worse than my fingers! I need to find one of those mini-lifts or motorcycle lifts that some of you use. I need some suggestions.

Re: Rocky's Tiger
Hi Rocky, The set up I use with lifting table and scissor lift works really well. Do'nt know how you got so far without one. I use sealey lifts. Makes everything so much easier. Tiger looking great.

Re: Rocky's Tiger
Very nice Rocky!
Careful. Don't get hurt yet. You have a line of tanks that need building.
Adrian, a lost fingernail?! Youch!
kind regards
Tim

Correct I can't actually remember how I squashed it now but it was whilst I was dismantling the prototype Sherman.
I guess I should try and remember, if only to stop me doing it again

Re: Rocky's Tiger
Rocky,
Harbor Freight have a good selection of lift tables for very good prices. Perhaps you have a store locally? You need a lift table to save your back from heavy lifting.
best regards, Bob

Re: Rocky's Tiger
This is the one I use. It is quite wide so makes a stable platform under the Tiger. Handle for adjusting is short though but I just took the bar out and fitted some pipe to extend and refitted the lever.
