Whilst waiting for parts to arrive to complete the Chieftain I have started on a Tiger 1 that's going to be made up of all my favorite parts, you will get the idea as the build goes along.
I do still need an early cupola if anyone has a spare, I do have a mid for trade if required?

I'm looking forward to the builds to as they are new to me John. Steen you know what's involved, I still don't have everything but hope Monique can help with that, I am still looking for those fillet pieces for your Tiger.

A couple of the road wheels finished, that's about as far as I shall go with the road wheel detail for now.

Tracks on for the first time and it's as smooth as can be!

323 from the 503rd heavy? Good choice!
You have developed a good feel for what details make a difference and what to skip. The wheel bolts really do stand out! Awesome!
However, you really do need to get better idlers for this quality level, but I have a hunch that they are already in the pipeline?
If not, Liam in Australia can help you out with idlers second to none!

Hi Christoffer, glad you approve! Yes I agree the idlers need some work and it's all in hand. Good old Tiger 1 you just can't beat them.

The idlers are supposed to have ten spokes...
