Phil,

Our dog's love raw Mackerel, not suitable for fish and chips....
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!

Nice Rocky!

You are moving right along. Looks great.

kindest regards and happy Tiger-ing
Tim

Nice close up - I've got to get me some of those

Adrian.

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....

Cheers

> raw Mackerel, not suitable for fish and chips....

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.

Adrian.

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

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

Adrian,

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.

Rocky

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.

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

> Adrian, a lost fingernail?! Youch!

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

Adrian.

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

Bob,

I have two lift tables, I am looking for a small scissor lift.

Rocky

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.
