discussion SimonT - Tamiya 1:35 Sturmmorser Tiger (AAGB)

[scottie3158]

Simon,
All the detail work is really paying off, that is a great build.

 

[SimonT]

A fair bit Steve - spent too much time on the Stug when I should have been doing this one

Spares box - don’t really have one of those as

a) I hardly ever finish anything, you may have noticed
b) if I do then the leftover bits are usually crap which is why they are left

The white tools I use are Amour Accessories generic toolset. The shovels, sledgehammer and axes are good for vehicles

The stand is 3D printed - I knocked up the basic design at work during lunch, emailed it to myself and printed it when I got home :thumb2:
The base is two part and hollow - I shall fill it with sand to give some extra stability

Scottie - thank you, glad you like it

tracks done :thumb2:

[SimonT]

Not yet Paul :smiling5:


added the front track guards last night - still need some small detail bits adding to them

 

[SimonT]

added some track guards last night plus some more brackets on rear left, one of which has moved and stuck at an angle so will need to come off again

 

[Steve Jones]

Mornin Mr T. Nice to see the metal work. Edging ever closer to the wet stuff

 

[SimonT]

Getting there sloooowwwwwwl.........

 

[Jim R]

Morning Simon
Track guards really look good. You notice how they are so much more a scale thickness.
Jim

 

[SimonT]

Hi Jim - the etch is really good for stuff like grilles and side skirts
Vast improvement on the kit parts

Suppose those hinges work on the front track guard Simon, if you said yes I 'd believe you. !

 

[scottie3158]

Simon,
Your normal excellent work with the brass.

 

[Mini Me]

Mr. T, I see you have taken over Jeff Dunham's act... My name Jose' Sturmmorser, on a steek. :rolling: But it is good you are getting a handle on things. Looking forward to seeing this one done. You have put much effort into it, would be a shame not to see some color on it at some point. Rick H.

 

[SimonT]

John - no, none working, sorry

Cheers Scottie

Rick - getting nearer.....



bashed in a few dents but not too obvious in the photos


zimmed the back panel


added another section of side skirt and made a new crowbar as lost the kit one

 

[Steve Jones]

You haven't lost the crowbar you have just put it in a safe place which you will discover in about six months time LOL

 

[Steven000]

Excellent detail work Simon :thumb2:

Excuse me Simon .
Yes Steve along with everything else that you've mislaid :smiling2: and some things you didn't even realise you'd lost !

 

[Guest]

Simon .
Sorry about the hinges not working , here at the ST apprecation society we are most surprised with this bombshell .
The rest looks stunning .

 

[SimonT]

filled the large mounting slots for the kit parts with square plastic strip, trimmed back and then made a start on the rear flaps
