Posted by Hurrican on Wednesday, February 23, 2011 8:08 AM

Greetings

This model of my home for over two years ago, before I start compiling. Before I started to compile, I bought a metal track and Epoxy Putty for zimerit.I'm working on it slowly and gradually.

First I started with the processing tank doors to the dome. I drilled and inserted a wire Hole. now opens to.

Assembled inside the cannon

I do not know how to say this in English

Started the first paste PE parts

Now came the series of metal tracks

For the composition are very complex, much work on them, drilling, grinding, filing, ...but they are very nice looking.

very many parts is ;)

I made a simple stand ,for izy glued.

almost full track

and have a look at

I do have a question about wheels- Has anyone already done on this model, that all wheels spin?

sorry my English is poor

Going all out on this guy. I don't see many of the Porsche turrets here. I admire that your doing your own zimmerit too. I look forward to seeing how it comes out. What tool are you using for the zimmerit?

Greetings to you too Ip.
Congratulations to a great start on your Tiger II Surprise
Those tracks are excellent, congratulations on your patiens!

The Tiger I and Tiger II shared some construction elements and I think the loaders hatch was one of them.
The metal C shaped rod in your picture 4 is part of the hatches balancing system, it connects to a counterspring system in the Tiger I turret.

Wow! Amazing attention to detail and a wonderful display of your fine motor skills. Really makes me hesitate to post photos of my own poor efforts. Looking forward to the finished product.

Whoa dude, you can't tease us with one photo of the completed vehicle. A lot has happened since you last left off.
