oops dang another tiger ugh

[InitialProduction1]

sorry guys, but yup I'm working on a tiger, rye fields full interior just a quick pic to show a few things wrong so anyone who's a rivet counter can go nuts. hahaha.

in this shot I'm putting in the wading tube, also you need to fill the turret roofs loaders hatch, to make it level, then add recessed holes for bolts, the frame on the kit has bolts in the loaders hatch frame, mounted to the roof on top you need to do that so it will be correct, or not say *&^%$%$# and leave it. also kit omits the fire extinguisher and tool box on the turret floor, tools "gray box" .



the storage box just got weld seam's, looks a lot better now that's when I started, oops i need to take a new picture.



the equipment blows replaced,



start of turret, fixed seams ugh, they could copy dragon and make a solid turret.




need a boat load of ammo pouches making my own.



goodies starting to come in, here's 323's gun mantlet, was going to scratch build it but found it on line for $8.00 bucks + free shipping. also got archers 323 decals. yes.



turret getting filled up, fast.



there you go. hope you like out.

[mick]

will be watching your build

[RonBurgundy]

Can't believe I missed this one, Initial. Really looking forward to seeing this one painted. Keep it up, we want more haha

[InitialProduction1]

thanks mick glad you stopped in,

hey RonBurgundy cool name. hope you like what I'm doing.

well things are going a little faster now. I'll have to figure out how to take the hull apart with the snorkel installed.



wiring it up and adding stuff,+



everything in gray is what I've added, the ammo bags are from the Academy tiger full interior, I made a bunch of copys in the off yellow. I like Academy's better more detail. also water bottle's are all resin rye fields are very weak in detail. just me say-n.




some goodies came in really liking them.



making the interior right. don't know why every model company puts that indent under the loaders hatch? it's ether flat or bolted nothing else that I've ever seen.



here's where i'm getting the bolts from lol.



adding the turret MG now. I had seen that the RField tiger's MG "sticks out way to far". thanks to Adam Mann for his build on the RField tiger, that's where I seen it. anyway I had to shorten it a lot to get the look I wanted. good thing is you can't see what I did anyway.



and this is where i'm at hope you like.

[InitialProduction1]

well getting there.














hope you like

[OliveDrab]

Are you freaking kidding Totally insane skills

[InitialProduction1]

Thanks OliveDrab, I see I added one photo twice, I'll have to change that, still hard to add photos, it takes forever there's something I'm doing wrong, I don't like posting anymore till I get this fixed. Again thanks.

[Icemannique]

Incredible details, looking forward to see how this project builds up !

[HamilkarBarkas]

Looks sweet! I wonder, how are you going to display the interior?

[Coen]

Uber awesome work bud!
Holy chin waggin crap!
I hope that you're planning to leave the turret roof loose so you can show all that off?
Love the wine bottle in the map box.

[InitialProduction1]

thank you Icemannique I hope you'll like the buildup I'm starting the engine and bulkhead next,

thank you HamilkarBarkas, I'll hope to have the roof flip forward and make it standup, but I'll see.

thank you coen, yea that's the plan for the roof, but sometimes better lade plans of and men right. I wanted to show we lived in those tanks, not just fight in them. I'm still adding bread, cheese, and med supplies. again thanks guys for looking in, made my day.

[mincemeat]

That detail is insane! Great Job, can't wait to see more!

[pir8hntr]

That is very impressive work. You really need to leave the roof loose so you can display it.

[psydeviant]

this is soooo cool , "grabs popcorn and takes a seat"

[InitialProduction1]

Thank you mincemeat, hope to get the turret done by this weekend, my luck not. Lol.

Thank you pir8hntr, yeah I hope to make it left forward and stand on two small wires, that I can remove. But I'll see, again thanks.
