Hang in there Chris........your skills are way beyond anything I can only dream about.........just thinking out loud, if you get tired of wiring, take a break and start building the gun turrets.

HI Rick m8ty many thanks for your kind comments but ive got too stick at this wireing as im not getting tired of it as i love doin the wirein an its now all in my mind how i should have done it an this time it will be right an if i go off subject an start to build the guns turrets then all my thoughts in my mind on how to do the wireing will be scrapped an then i will get even more mixed up as when i get to building something its got to be finished before i start something eles
an what with that colured ribbon wire failing its all got to come out an be scrapped as i thought this would happen as thats why i used the gray wires in the front section as they are stronger but i did the ribbon wire first before i thought this would fail an the reason as ive now found out as ive used ribbion wire in all my ships an no problems but this ribbon wire is a couple of guages too thin. I should have taken more notice of the wire gauge when i ordered it off ebay i think its called an i should have bought some thicker gauge so that was a mistake i dint even know id made untill i started to strip the wires ready to solder
an then noticed it was very thin an only about 4 strands i should have stopped then but well i dint as i wanted to press on with soldering the mini plugs on but as they say we live an learn an i certainly have but its all got too be put right before i do much eles as at the moment i am carrying on with the front section wireing on them cam switches that i know is right an will work the ( nav lights )an (white running leds ) on the mast an (bridge lights) an ( 2mm red A/C lights ) on the mast an by the time ive done these the 44 pin plugs should be here an yes i know you guys an i want to see the guns turrets come to life but im afraid im just not at that stage yet as i need power in all the ship hence all getting the wireing done
ATB Rick an thank you for your suggetions an the guns will get built sometime

Hi Chris
The work on Tiger continues to amaze. Know that, whilst you’re not posting any pics, that we do all realise how much work is going on in the background. I do hope you get it all sorted before your operation. And that, once you’ve recovered, you can continue to asound us with this stunning build.
All the best

HI Jim thank for your nice comments an yes im feeling better thanks an in a better frame of mind but must admit im a bit annoyed at my self for makin that b*lls up on the wire qayuge as i did see not think about the wire gauge when i ordeded it but will in future an i saw how thin the wire was but i was on a roll an dint think at the time it would cause any probs but well in a model like this there are always chances of somthing goin wrong an me wiring it up wrong it was certainly a heart stoppn moment when i realised what id done but no help for it but to put it right so onwards an up

HI Neil cheers for the good luck wishes an yes i will tame the beast but this time ive bought model railway base board wirein which has up to 12 strands of wire so a lot stronger an this will not fail an i will study an do more testing this time when i fit in the new wireing
cheers

AN HI Paul yes im against the clock on this wirein but at least i know now where i went wrong on this wirein so that will be a help as i must when i do fit in the wirein i must wire up just one of those mini plugs an then check with the circut tester that the right wires are feeding the right servo wires as this was my main bugbear as an to complicate matter further the servo's ive bought have different colours on the servo wire so i will have to be wary of them also as my normal servo have black red an white wires but the new servo's have brown orange a yellow i think Aaaaaaaccchhhhh
