Back to the fray!

Firstly my sincere apologies for dropping off the face of the 1/35 planet! A million and one things that I have had no control over happened all at once... Don't you just hate Chaos?

I have managed to get back to the bench, and resurrect this ailing Tiger. A lot more work on the empty and destroyed stowage clamps and brackets, along with my attempt to replicate the remnants of the right hand exhaust muffler. I have also made a start upon the drivers hatch interior, I think this needs a lot more attention, as I feel that much more detail needs to be added, especially the empty periscope securing bracket.

(a serious amount of clips,springs,hinges and wing nuts here!)

The side skirts have now been permanently attached, using MasterClub 0.8mm resin Hex Bolts. (Thank you to Grant Hall for introducing me to these excellent solutions for detailing.)

The battered Bosch light has been temporarily attached also, along with the main parts of the one remaining front mudguard. The empty brackets and hooks for the track cable.

Next up is some more work upon the interior, especially the drivers compartment floor!!!

I am also in the process of building another lateral  Zimmerit blog, where issues and application of the pesky paste can be discussed and showcased... More on this very shortly.  

Thank you all for dropping by, back real soon... Cheers Phil.
