Re: RT Late Tiger One
Never a good sign when the closest tool to the model is a hammer
The heat shields look good. Did you use a swaging wheel or a press ?

Re: RT Late Tiger One
The hammer is for when I have things that not fit as I want.
I use a press.

Re: RT Late Tiger One
Shield looks good 
As for the hammer, I as an "old" tank driver can assure you, the hammer is THE MOST OFTEN needed (and used) tool in a drivers arsenal... What would we have done without our Hammer 5000 (meaning 5 kg)....
Without it, the Leo II would not perform half as good...

Lord, give me strength to change the things I am able to change.... and patience to endure the things I can not change 
A bunch of Tiger and Panther variants, Leo II, Famo, 222s, a few 88`s and smaler ones like Hetzer, Stug III, 251, etc.

Re: RT Late Tiger One
Hello
I was not 100% happy with the first I did.
So try, try again. Made these with 0,5mm Brass.
I did use a hydraulic press to do them.
Now it will be cut and shaped according to the original, and put in place.
Stay safe and have a nice day.

Re: RT Late Tiger One
I had a nice weekend in my cave.
Some more work on the exhaust shields, abit more to do. Grind, grind and grind.
Next I will do the square washers to the bolts.
But we have a very nice hobby and understanding wives.
Have a nice day and stay safe.

Re: RT Late Tiger One
First time for everything,
I try to make square holes on bolt heads to my enginedeck.
Glad to have learned something new today.

Re: RT Late Tiger One
I am finally done with the starting block on my Armortek Tiger One late.
Had to redo a bit, made some mistakes first.
I've said it before, brass is a wonderful material.

Re: RT Late Tiger One
Got an idea that I wanted to try with my resin printer today.
Became pretty good, but have only put on a layer of German Panzer Grau yet.
