No real change, told the tabs take 2 to 3 days to start working, so hoping to feel a change sunday. Just taken painkillers to settle it down. Hopefully will sleep later. Thank you Chris

Great work as always Chris. Have you tried five minute epoxy for gluing in the windows? It should give you a bit more wriggle room….you can use the Glue and Glaze stuff to hold the acetate in place while the epoxy dries…..

HI Paul long time no see hope you are ok an how is that fantastic panzer have you had a drive with it yet ? an yes im pleased at how tiger is all beginning to come togeather but still a heck of a lot more to do as all eletrics ' guns turrets 'an all the small fitting an over 400 odd railing to fit an then they will all be painted white bar the main deck railings an ive still to fit in the qauter deck an make it water tight but it must still be able to come out for access to the rudder controls so still a lot to do i think i'll have a long white berd by the finish time an to old to lauch her lol
an will you ever do a blog on here as you are a very good moddeller or is life getting in the way ?

Hi Chris
The road to finishing HMS Tiger may be long a one but keep on going, enjoy the journey and the result will be well worth the trials and tribulations.
With regards to my posting on the forum, I’ve been a little busy to build anything of late. Hopefully time will open up soon and I can enjoy another build.
Cheers
Paul

HI again Paul yes tiger build is going to be a long one as still so much to do on it an yes when it is finished it will be well woth it to see her sailing my main worry though is some of the eletronics may not be up to the job as i have really no faith in these viper ESC to power the motors as yes they are running the motors ok at the moment but what they will be like when the ship is in the water with loading on the props i dont know as when more loading on props so more current consumption an i think them viper ESC may burn out even with a proteting inline fuse but as they sat time will tell an yes i hope you do do a build on here as you are a very good talended moddeler

Looking good Chris. Love the lighting on the bridge. This also clears up my confusion - when we met and talked at the weekend, when you said Tiger, I thought - Tank!
Really nice work so far. Pulling up a dinghy somewhere near the dock.

HI Dale glad you like the bridge lighting as there is a lot more lighting to come when i get that far an yes its easy to confuse this tiger with a tank same name lol an cheers for your nice comments on my work an make sure you tie up that dinghy well or you will drift off into the harbour lol

WELL HI ALL an im tryin to cheer up after that awfull news yesterday of Tony but life must go on so im back working on my tiger an here ive wired in all the bridge consoles an yes two are fitted to what would be the back bridge wall but ive done this so the leds can be seen from the outside an one facein forward but the only way to see the lights is looking in from the sides an ive only fitted a few as i dont want to go into overkill an in the bridges there will be crew memembers to give more detail when i get to painting an fitting them

[boatman]

an in the next two shots can be seen the leds lit up an by gum it was very tricky work trying to get these all fitted in without breaking any hair thin wires as they break so easy
