Heck make us a set too Dale my lathe drill press and shop are all in Houston, I do all my building and drilling with a dremel tool and cordless drill.

In bulding the Late tiger I am always saying if i had my lathe I could turn this or bore out that.

looks Great Dale but gee you have been working on it for over two years!

Hi Dale,

Nice ones mate!
I simply love your eyes for detailing.


Hi Alvin,

Yes, what would we do without our Dremel :wink:
Good thing here is that we who make the Late Tiger will not need those swivelling bolts for the MG gun mount as Late Tigers was without :D and makes life a bit easier for us.

Cheers
Kent

Hello Alvin . Kent is right these where on the early tigers only !!. Yes two years of modelling time . Mainly because I work six Days a week . Then seven days a week over the summer holidays . Also I have to build up my brownie points with my wife !! we all know how that works . At least I'm getting my moneys worth out of building it . I know when I get back to my Sherman it will be quicker . Dale

Dale,

Nice work on the wing nut details, I did this on my Tiger as they are noticeable. Have you thought about doing the same sort of thing as Kent did to reshape the MG aperture. I really liked the end result with Kent's Panther, it was superb. I say this because I wish I'd done it on my Tiger as there is an obvious difference with the ful size Tiger. I turned the outside like you have done but didn't narrow and deepen the Aperture.
