Cat's whisker Si!

Cat's whisker Si!

Cheers Rick,
since you mentioned them, It was only right to make ‘em nice, just for you buddy

[Mini Me]

Thanks mate, between me and Wouts, we'll keep you busy with all the fiddly stuff that goes on these gigantic cats. BTW, don't forget the other half of the vane sight Wouter mentioned... two vertical sections of wire on the outside of the commanders cupola that line up with the one mounted on the turret top. Cheers, Rick H. :rolling: ( l'm still not a rivet counter) :smiling5:

Please Rick don't look at my Tiger then :smiling2::smiling2::flushed:

[Wouter]

Ha, I deliberately didn't mention that part. It's so small it would give me shivers lol.

Nice scratchwork mate, and I like the mangled mesh screen: it gives it some character

Cheers

You have two good minders in your build Si and it's looking good with the added details. I have only built the T2 once a long time ago minus everything you have added of course...at the time zimmerit was already an excitement when applied. :smiling6:

Good that you separated the two naughty boys...they like each other so much that they'll be a handful together. Careful what you serve as cup cakes and donuts are lethal missiles. The lasagna looks delicious and lucky its finished, can be very messy at a fight. :tears-of-joy: I would suggest handing out raincoats for those sitting between them. :smiling5:

Cheers,
Richard

Oooooooh! That's nice! Fantastic updates mate. You really are doing a terrific job of adding the extra's. It's great to have knowledgeable people on your side helping you through the minefield of minor detailing. Looks like you could beat me to the wet stuff as I still have all those wheels to do. Keep up the great work mate

Cheers Rick....not sure wether I should kiss you or slap you for giving me pointer. These fiddly bits are testing my patience :tired: :upside:lol.

Thanks mate, glad you approve of mangled screens :thumb2: might be some more damages yet with my sausage fingers :smiling5:

Cheers Richard :smiling4:. If the boys get too naughty then matron will take away toys and they'll get put on the naughty step:smiling5:

Thanks comrade,
In for a penny and all that....might as well try for a reasonable looking build and it’s a good excuse to use all the bits I’ve been filling up my tool box with over the last ten year:nerd:


Ok so another small update from tonight’s play time...

Made up lifting lugs that go on either side of the exhaust covers. And a handle for the jack block.






At the business end I’ve added wire conduit for the Bosch headlight. Two tools clasps for the sledge hammer on the front deck and fixing positions and another tool clamp for the shovel on the hull side.


Next I need to fabricate the holders for the gun cleaning rods, recovery cables etc etc....


All comments welcome
cheers

[Wouter]

Nice bit of extra detailing chap :thumb2:

Cheers

Nice Si, very neat work with the cabling and those pe parts.
I do not want to sit on the naughty step again. Steve started it and because of that he should be put there.

[Mini Me]

Si, your Tiggy is really looking good. Looking forward to the wet stuff!
Cheers, Rick H.:thumb2:

No one likes a tell tale Mr Race....although I do believe that Mr Jones was the instigator:smiling5:

[papa 695]

Coming along very nicely indeed.

Si, I concur, I was following your build enjoying myself learning about these hightly technical beasts when the Motherland's might of armour and production no's were held to question by young Master Jones.
Am I not right to assume no answer is an admission of guilt ?
