Is there any tutorial on how to do that? My computer skills have improved but not that much. I think I might have to re compose the post and then re-post it?

Thanks S.P.

Scott real nice work on that Tiger, love the detail even down to the shovel and ax heads. The individual tracks look great, coming along nicely.

Thanks for the kind words. I am more than happy to help in any way that I can. The simplest method I can think of for adding this to the North Africa GB is to simply copy your original post here and paste it on over there in that thread.

Thanks alot! I learned lots from you before I was laid up. I meant to post this under the Rommel vs Monty group build but I screwed it up. Do you know of anyway that I might be able to transfer this to our group build?

It took a while for me to put it together and I would hate to have to do it again.

p.s. I might need to pick your brain for info.

Thanks

Tiger I initial production

Posted by Chazzer on Saturday, March 8, 2014 8:20 PM

Hell guys, I've been busy. Lots of photos here and lots of text. The list of upgrades is a bit long. Most are compleate, Some are partially done, or will be done.

Rather than caption all of them here is a brief rundown: I have decided to model Tigertank #142 of the 1st kompany, sPzAbt. 501. Unique to 142 is :

Direct sight post on the left side turret roof (installed as a backup)

Spare track links mounted forward of the left and right smoke dischargers

Bucket hooked to the jack handle

88 gun is wrapped in camo netting

left side and rear hull also draped in camo netting

I did lots of scratch building and upgrades to this Tamiya kit (#35227) including :

replaced kit tools with Spares from my parts bin (Dragon)

Replaced the jack, jack block and fire extinguisher with Alliance Modelworks offerings

Scratchbuilt jack mount

PE clamps tool mounts by Lionroar and Alliance

Aftermarket grills from Tamiya (They should be included in the kit)
