Thanks Tony for allowing us all to share this journey. I would love to build one of these one day but I think it's not in my future so really thanks for allowing me to experience this whole build with you. This build is truly amazing and you're speeding ahead faster than I thought was possible! Can't wait to see the finish!
Thank you Nelson, your kind comments are really appreciated. Let's hope you don't rule it out completely. I nearly did, but have not regretted one moment of this experience.
Hello Tony I just watched your video and your tiger is coming very nice I look forward to you're next video
Thanks Daniel, your continued support is amazing.
Tony, you can cut the brass parts with a normal scissors.... by the way - big thing 😊
Nice work as always, Tony. Love how the Tiger is coming together.
Thank you, your comments and support are very much appreciated.
Any news on when you can expect your M26? I think its going to around Mid March when they are ready to ship.
@@tonys_workshop No, not yet. But your mid March timeframe seems correct.
В мастерской всё по высшему классу разумеется 🤩😍
Спасибо. Мне нравится твой позитивный взгляд.
Hi Tony, great work and video as usual. You scoring that brass work reminded me of doing something similar with a very sharp scalpel blade. It didn't end well. My left index finger has now got a flat edge for a while!! I am keeping my eye on the availability of these bad boys and waiting for something that may part me from my bank balance! Cheers! 😀
Hi Johnny, Ouch! Thanks for watching and your comments.
Morning Tony great idea with the grills.and now we know who brought all the toilet paper during covid.,you and its all in your garage 😀
LOL...Blame the missus...she is obsessed with Costcos. Thanks again Steve for your continued support.
Wow that's excellent 👍
Thanks Joe.
Never seen this before 👍
Thanks again Joe, your support is hugely appreciated. Hope you continue to follow my build.
Another great vid, thanks tony
Thank you, that means a great deal to me..Hope you continue to follow.
@@tonys_workshop I hope you do another tank built when this one is completed.
@@outdoors7076 Thank you..definitely..upcoming projects are, firstly I am building a 1/6 scale bridge so I can drive my tank over, then, when it arrives, I will be building the US M26 Pershing. I will be listing all videos on both projects on my channel. Hope you continue to watch and follow.
You and chieftain are my favorite channels
@@outdoors7076 Wow..I love that guy..I am one of his many subscribers...I will be using him as one of my references when I start to build the M26 in a couple of months. I am humbled to be found in your favourites along with his channel..Thank you.
Cracking Tony looking good, love the comment I know the purists will hate this is my tank regarding the photo etch. Congratulations nice to see the channel is getting a ton of subscribers very well deserved.
OMG Gary, it has blown me away... I loved building this kit and only thought a few people may be interested....Who knew! Thank you for your continued support mate, it is, as always very much appreciated... Yes..afterwards, thought I may have annoyed a few people with that comment...the problem is, I say too much sometimes. Whoops!
Hi Tony, Good out-of -the box build. Just a note.... the turret rotation motor mount is attached to the top deck via two countersunk screws. Looks like one of them is partially covered by the armoured ring. This means you will have to remove the ring to fit the motor. I hope this is not an issue due to the Loctite. Alastair (F01)
Hi Alastair, thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, to my utter frustration I discovered this later down the line..Armortek don't highlight that and it is annoying, however I did resolve this and I do cover this in a later video. Hope you continue to watch and follow.
Для не терпимых ускориный режим приходиться включать 😍🤩
Не уверен о чем ты?
Post script the mesh was used to prevent grenades and Molotov cocktails etc
Love to see the big Lazy Susan ring was used in Armortek's tank model. My older version tanks didn't have got this part , and I always want to see it's assembly process (5:20 - 7:35). I wonder is it the 14" diameter available in the market , or different diameter specially designed for Armortek's tanks only?
Yes, it works brilliantly. Not sure if it is a proprietary part or not. I suspect Armortek may commission these. Which tanks do you have?
@@tonys_workshop A 2009 King Tiger (now sold to exchange a 2007 Tiger 1). The KT's turret was very heavy (>29kg) and T1's also heavy (~25kg), that to rotate it wasn't a easy task. I bet with the Lazy Susan ring , it's a different story.
Hi Tony, great video's. Just one thought, have you put the hatches on the wrong sides, the periscopes should be facing forwards.
Hi Bazzer, Thanks again for your support and comments. Thats what I thought at the time, but double checked and these are installed as instructed.
Книжка иллюстрация с танка Тигр - номер 131 который в Бовингтоне конечно очень согласен лучше примера и не надо
Excellent work Sir Tony ,does the turret ring run on ball bearings and is your reference book the Haynes manual ? Goes without saying welljell lol.
Hi Steve, thanks again for your support. The turret ring is set up like a 'Lazy Susan" with integral ball bearings. I have a few books, but not the Haynes Manual...I didn't realise at the time you could buy something like that, but I know now and will be getting one of those for the M26 when it arrives. The book in this video is by David Doyle, "Legends of Warfare, Tigers 1 & 2"
@@tonys_workshop I have several Tank Haynes manuals and word of caution they are not what you would call traditional Haynes manual you just get a couple of cross sections good books but just a money spinning idea from Bovington. Hillary Doyle and Tom Jentz better.
You'll also need to fake the welds around those front hatch periscopes.
Hi John, I would have loved to have done this on my Tiger, but was worried I would mess it up. Definitely something I will consider when I build the Pershing. Thanks for watching and your comment, it is very much appreciated.
@@tonys_workshop Mate, you've got this! There are tutorials for everything my friend. This guy (link) is a legendary kit builder. Just scale up from 1/35 to 1/6. Thanks for the series, really enjoy and appreciate it. kzhead.info/sun/h7tvZdCvrpiApKM/bejne.html
@@johnboy384 Thanks John..I will check that out..Definitely something I want to do for the next one..Thanks for watching and supporting, it means a great deal to me.
Don't those brass grills go on the underside of the castings? Just a thought?
no
Hi Nigel, thanks for watching and your comment. They do sit on top as I show. Shame Armortek don't actually show these on the instructions.
What is the name off the reference book you had on the late variant tiger 1?
Hi David...Legends of Warfare(ground) Tigers 1 & 2 by David Doyle. hope this helps...
BTW, what book is your reference on the table?
That particular book is "Legends of Warfare" Ground "Tigers 1 & 2" by David Doyle. It is a brilliant book containing so much detail and history. Hope this helps.
@@tonys_workshop Thanks for the answer. I have had this book already. I'm gonna to read it again. 👍👍👍
Whats the ref book Tony?
Hi That particular one is "Legends of Warfare" Tigers 1 & 2 by David Doyle. Hope this helps. Its a great book with lots of information/history and covers in detail the 131 early version currently at Bovington.
@@tonys_workshop many thanks,it one i dont have
Please keep your liquid tabacco vape thing out of your uploads.
Hi Jeroen, yes, sorry, I did state from the off that I was a complete novice...too late for this series, but will definitely do that on the next build. Thanks for watching and hope you continue to follow the build.
WOW! Get a life
If you don’t like model tanks, don’t watch this video, I guess it’s the same with vapes…. @Tony, thank you for sharing this adventure with us.
