Marklo Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) I thought I’d put a placeholder thread up ( lead by example and all that) I shall be building four ( possibly five) Tiger variants. My four definites. The possible fifth, which if I build it will be a combination of resin copies from the four kits and scratch built bits….

Stef N. Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 A good set Marklo. Hopefully we'll get to see the fifth as I rather like the strangeness of them.👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 Some foam board, ca a straight edge and a scalpel and I have a fifth chasis copied from the VK4502, kit . A few more panels to add and then I’ll skin it with plastic card. Then do the same with the Tiger I turret. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperService Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Interesting choices and I 'may' have some copies of kit funf as well, you can't beat a bit of scratch-building. I'll echo @MARADER about the turret on the Italeri kit it would be worth a few minutes to sort out the issues bearing in mind the work you are putting in. But it's your pack of Tiggies after all. @Enzo the Magnificent has been a bad influence on you although kit retailers probably worship him for the trade they get as a result. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 (edited) Started getting the road wheels ready for paint one down four more to go. Of course I will have to divert and cast a set for VK4501 From either the elegant or VK4502 Now that I think of it apart from the odd split line what’s so heinous about the Italeiri Tiger I turret? I’ve downloaded and scaled some plans to check it against. Edited April 9 by Marklo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tower is not symmetric. It can be seen, if to look from above. A cannon is located along the central axis of corps. It is done in an order on the left to place two members of crew. I did not know about it, while did not read in a magazine.🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 (edited) Road wheels. Ready for paint. I’m now thinking primer, silver, red oxide then camo. But, I think I need to divert and make the set of wheels for the fifth chassis. More to follow when I can get around. At least I have some company while I convalesce.

Marklo Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 (edited) my stupid leg and my hospital pyjamas. 😡 sprockets from the Elephant Blue stuff freshly microwaved Squish on the blue stuff and leave to cook Two part resin. I use a weighing scales to ensure a correct mix. sprocket mold ready for another go Poured about twenty mls of resin Cures in about ten to twenty minutes. resin castings before cleanup. So I’ve done 24 road wheels next I have to do two sets of sprockets. Edited April 17 by Marklo 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
