[Eastrock]

will be dropping by to the LHS later... and decide which is which ;D still thinking if will join the competition with spud and Chris, I'll try my first rust bucket ;D

 

[spud]

Ya may as well it don't have tobe rusty, but it's a good place to start with a rust bucket

ER ,

Good lookin stuff ! A Great Start !!

 

[Eastrock]

Spud, I'm thinking of the reference with a derailed Tiger 1 the problem is the base where it will be sitting.

Erik, Thanks I think the Academy interior fits with a bit of putty and sanding.

 

[panzerace007]

ER ,

Yeah ! Th Academy will work. I took a few pieces out for My Wittmann build & it worked. The Bul Head will need to ge trimmed very slightly ... other than that .. It's all Gravy Brotha' !!


Rock-On ! Keep Gettin on up !!

\m/

 

[Eastrock]

[spud]

Git I payed £30 for mine....

Oddball!
Watching this one with great interest....Keep up the good work.....Bill.

 

[Eastrock]

applied Zim via Miliput well its not perfect since this is my first time, and didn't use a zim tool, did it manually with a small flat screw driver (this is what we called Poor Man's PE)

the lower hull will be done a later time, I still need to sand down a bit to make it more realistic / creative / what ever you called it ;D




Thanks for looking and support guys!!!

((((Hope we could have sub-thread on the Tiger 1))))) ;D

 

[spud]

Sim was never a clean job so yours looks pretty good to me

 

[Eastrock]

Thanks spud... will do the lower hull if time permits, as of now just bits and pieces will do.

 

[Rentar1]

I've did zim on a 1/72 scale tank....I hated it. You are doing a great job. Keep it up!

 

[panzerace007]

ER,

Rock-On !! Great 1st. time Zim ..... My 1st. was :-X

Great Job !!

 

[Chris S]

That Zimm is looking really good ER ..stick at it buddy Zimm was never 'perfect '

Chris.

 

[Eastrock]

Thanks chris, erik will do the lower hull.

Any idea for the color for the gun loader? The ref that I saw is
only black and white.

Rentar, I had the 1/76 will also try it sooner. Can u pose the pics for viewing? Thanks

 

[TRM]

Looking good ER....keep it rolling!!!

 

[Eastrock]

I almost forgot to update:

Will be doing a side by side build, the brown kit is from Academy, due to some persuasive powers of some buddies I decided to join the Rust Crew " Newbie Here"



Zim on the DML is almost done and will be packing some patches of Zim with the Academy with a lot of Battle damage in it... just had a rant on it... the box says Tiger MID production but when you check on the mold its more than a decade old kit... and printer Tiger 1 Early (((its a rebox))) the only useful is the interior parts.

Thanks for looking.

 

[Big-John]

ahhhhhhhhhhhh, it'll be nice to see the two compared!
