boatman's 1/72 HMS Tiger C20 build

[boatman]

Here strengthening bars fitted across the front section so it will be strong enough fo me to push down the bidges seckions into place without breakin as I plan to have the two bridges lift off in case a light packs in either bridge

[boatman]

AN 01 DECK is finaley fitted but not finished

[boatman]

shot of the whole front section an here's what its up to so far an all the bridge section can be litffed off leavin the small GUN turret S/S IN PLACE ON ITS OWN

[boatman]

AN I want all the wirein fitted on the modular connectors like on the back of my Nimitz bridges so the bottom bridge fits on the S/S first then the top bridge connects down onto the first bridge if that makes sence lol

Wow Chris! You’ve certainly made a lot of progress. HMS Tiger is really beginning to take shape. The ship really is starting to emerge from all that wood, fibreglass and epic wiring! Love the thought you’ve put into the usability of the finished model with the removable modules.

Truly stunning work
Cheers
