Tony you are a king best compliments from another "panzer lover" in Nord Italy
Thank you, and " saluti dall'Inghilterra" that is very much appreciated. Hope you continue to watch my other builds.
It doesn't matter how mature and cool you are, there will always be a place for the joys of the inner boy. Keep it up! Fantastic work!
Thank you so much. More up next week.
I'm so glad you are making the videos they have help me so much...we thank you
and thank you for watching and following, it means a lot.
TONY ,YOUR A LEGEND MY FRIEND AND A PLEASURE TO WATCH AND FINISHED IT A WEEK BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY. I WILL SEND YOU MY ADDRESS LATER MATE AND DONT LET THE GRANDKIDS PLAY WITH IT FIRST . BRAVISSIMO MAESTRO WELL DONE THAT MAN 🫡👌
:-) Thank you. That means a great deal to me. I hope you continue to follow my projects.
Wow Tony...you're the coolest grandpa EVER!
Well thank you...being a Granddad is the best job I have every had. Hope you continue to follow my builds, lots more in the pipeline.
just going to be buying an Armortek tank in 2024, have been looking at them for a couple of years now so I've been watching this with interest and really appreciate what you've done to explain any pitfalls, really dreading doing the zimmerit, as I could end up spoiling the whole build by getting it wrong, a friend who is into R/C cars will keep me right on the radio control bits, but this is mega help many thanks Tony
Hi and thank you for watching and commenting. You are very welcome and glad to hear that you are taking the plunge. Once you get into this hobby it can be very addictive. I really enjoyed building the Tiger and opted not to go for the zimmerit partially for the same reason, but also wanted to get access to some of the fixings if ever required which can be covered by the application. I have learned so much since the Tiger and this has really helped in the build of the M26 & the current Hetzer build. You will find the same....I would appreciate it if you could reference my channel when ordering your tank as I know Armortek follow my channel and I love what they do and always hope that I show them in a positive light. Have you decided which tank you are going for...I am guessing the Early Version Tiger if you are considering zimmerit? Good luck with the build and if you get stuck, please get in touch and I will do my best to help. Happy New Year to you.
Всё о чем мечтал в этом хобби я увидел у вас Тони вы счастливый человек
Привет Вадим. Большое спасибо за ваши очень добрые слова и постоянную поддержку. Надеюсь, вы продолжите следить за моими проектами. Я начинаю загружать видео о строительстве моста в ближайшую субботу.
Great Build
LOVE the shirt - so brilliant! Thanks Tony for another great video and willingness to share your work.
Thanks Erik...yeah...just had to do it...I am now a fully fledged tanker. Thanks also for your continued support.
Hi Tony. This video is making my dream come true. A wonderful Tiger 1, a crew member, a large garden, and an understanding wife who takes pictures! Finally, the wooden bridge is also my dream. thank you. ハーイ トニー。今回の動画は、私の夢を叶えています。 素晴らしいタイガー1 と 搭乗員 と 広い庭 と 撮影してくれる理解ある奥さん！ 最後に木製の橋も 全て私の夢そのものです。ありがとう。
おはようございます、辻本律夫です。素敵な言葉とサポートをありがとう。はい、私はすべての点で非常に幸運です。最後のビデオでは、Tiger がいくつかの特殊効果を使って運転しているのを見ることができるので、ブリッジ構築のビデオに注目していただければ幸いです。良い週末を。 Good morning, Ritsuo Tsujimoto. Thank you for your lovely words and support. Yes, I am extremely lucky on all counts. Hope you tune into the bridge building videos as the Tiger can be seen driving with some special effects on the last video. Have a great weekend.
Brilliant job and the animatronic crew were definitely worth the investment looking forward to the next.
Hi Steve, Thank you. Yes, I think they are a must as they really finish it off. Have a great weekend and thank you for your continued support.
Great sweatshirt, I've been called a complete tanker too... or something similar? Those figures are really great, Gerry Anderson would be proud of those, just adds further realism to this brilliant build
Thanks martin...🤣 They definitely finished the look off...Hope you go on to follow my M26 Pershing build too.
@tonys_workshop I will do, lots of tube videos to catch up on. Your bridge is next on my hit list
Another great segment, Tony! The Tiger came out fantastic and it runs great! Love the series and I am looking forward to your M26 build. Thank you.
Thank you and thank you for following my journey. Hope you also tune into my bridge building series. Have a great weekend.
Thank you sir. I just finished watching your entire stream from the unboxing to your running video. Amazing!!!! You did a fantastic job. I’ve already started watching your Pershing build. Again, thank you. Tom.
Thats very kind of you Tom and much appreciated...thank you...Hope the Pershing build does not disappoint.
Morning Tony, firstly loved the t shirt and those figures are amazing .glad to hear you ordered your next tank .Happy Times to come !
Good morning Steve..thank you...had to do it...Although this is my first project of this kind, I have fallen in love with building model tanks...it was the missus that first called me a total tanker...I hope she meant it in the kindest possible way :-) Have a great weekend.
Wow, that was a great show. Looking forward to the next build. Thanks for sharing
Very impressive, one is never enough.
Hi Nicholas, Thank you and you are so right 🙂
Those figures are the bees knees to your Kool model .. bravo sir
Thank you Anthony, very much appreciated. Hope you continue to follow my future project builds.
Great job Tony, I think we all have enjoyed the journey with you on this great project. Good luck and enjoy the next one, as will all of us!! 😉👍
Thanks Johnny, that means a great deal to me. Hope you enjoy the bridge build coming up soon and then on to the M26.
Это фантастика члены экипажа живут и участвуют в этой жизни
Привет Вадим. да, они отлично смотрятся на Тигре... очень довольны, так как оживляют танк.
Great Camera mounted on the tank
It is the GoPro HERO10...a great camera.
Well Tony, despite my comments on video 1 about parts needing deburring. I must say this build is mightily impressive. After watching all the vids in this series, this has been an amazing build. Armortek make some great stuff and although the kits are costly, when you look into the sheer number of parts, the machining and fabrication and not to mention the design work involved, it’s a wonder they can sell them for the price. The cost of materials alone is a major factor, there are some big lumps of metal in the kit! As an engineer and manager of a machine shop, I can appreciate the work and skills involved in the manufacture (although the burrs on the machined parts still irritate me🤣). I have an engineer friend who now sells CNC machines and he has visited Armortek in the past, although I don’t know if they have bought any machines from him-I’ll have to find out. Many thanks for taking us along with you in the build, it was certainly very interesting for me. Well done!👍
Hi Monty and thank you for following my build. I couldn't agree more and I also love the fact that Armortek are a UK based company who supply their kits across the world. Have you seen the machining videos from Armortek on the M26 listed on my playlist? As an Engineer, I am sure you would find them interesting. I have fallen in love with these kits, that's why I couldn't resist ordering the M26. I hope you continue to follow my builds and thank for you comments along the way and supporting my channel.
@@tonys_workshop Thanks I’ve had a look at the vids. Looks like an older machine, so my pal may not have had any luck selling them an expensive new machine😂😂 But a nice bit of 5 axis machining there, nice parts to make👍
I'm from germany and it was an awesome plesure to follow your bild. I bought "Panzer IV" "only" in 1/16, but also to paint him completly! Many technics in your video will help me to do this job, thank you!
Greetings from the Uk. Thank you for watching and commenting, it means a lot to me. I am glad that I can help in some way. I hope you continue to follow my build projects. Have a great weekend.
Well done Tony… thanks for a super set of videos…. Great to hear you are doing the Pershing build next as I am about to place an order for the Pershing after my visit to the Armotek “factory” next week.. I live in Shaftesbury so not to far away. So .. hop to it Tony as I will probably be relying on your vids as guidance during my build 👍
Hi Brian, thank you so much for watching, commenting and continuing to support. Great news on your M26...If I lived that close to Armortek, I would probably be issued with an injunction to stay away :-) I hope to receive my M26 within the next 2 weeks.....As soon as I have it, I will be getting on with unboxing and building..I am super excited about receiving it. Say hello to Monique and the great team down there...Armortek are a phenomenal British company and long may they continue.
Hi again Tony…UPDATE… as of today I am the owner of Pershing NUMBER 22. Picked up from the lovely couple running the show and passed on your regards to Kian and Monique. Strong rumour that you should have received your three boxes, so come on Tony, let’s see you trying to build another Tank.. eagerly waiting. Regards.. Brian
@@brianwomersley7271 Hi Brian, congratulations on being another proud owner of one of these incredible tanks....Yes the rumours are true...Arrived today and cant wait to get home from work to see the boxes... I will be un-boxing at the weekend and will be getting into it straight away.
Thank you for the videos, I am about to order a Armortek tank and I think your videos are going to be helpful.
Thank you for the positive comments. Glad to hear you are going to get an Armortek tank.....you will not regret it. Have you decided which kit you are going for?
@@tonys_workshop Most likely a panther.
I'm so glad you will be taking us along on another tank build! I think you accomplished your goal of showing how a regular guy can build one of these tanks! One day I hope to be able to afford one (or six) and your videos will be invaluable. Your Tiger turned out fantastic - something to be really proud of! Great work! Great channel!
Thanks Scott, what an amazing comment. Your support and kind words are very much appreciated. If you do manage to take the plunge, you will not regret it as these kits are so rewarding from the time you first handle the parts to seeing it operate. I hope I don't disappoint on my next build. BTW..The Tiger can be seen going through it's paces at the end of my short bridge building series starting next week. Hope you tune in and enjoy these ahead of my M26 project start.
Just found this build series. So happy to see it is possible to get a nice build without a shitload of special tools . I have a 2014 mid production T1 kit stored at work like 'forever'( 1/16 tank guy) but this series kinda got my urge for digging into my kit again. Thanks for the great episodes, clear and to the point. cheers from Norway
Thank you for watching and commenting. Glad that I have somehow inspired you to start your build again. Hope you continue to follow my channel.
Hola, tu sabes donde puedo comprar un tanque asi?
Awesome can't wait until you get it and build it
Hi Mike...it is built...Have you seen my M26 complete build or my Hetzer?
Thank you ,,,can’t wait till the next tank arrives..
Thank you for continuing to follow...M26...OMG I am super excited...I have already got my reference books, stencils and tank commanders...just waiting for the delivery...like an expectant father all over again :-) Hope you tune into my short bridge building series as I put the Tiger through its paces in the final video.
Looks Amazing!!!👍👍👍
Thank you..Hope you go on to follow my M26 build. I will be videoing a face off between the two tanks at the end.
Cool Giant Tank
Thank you
Impressive and looks and sounds brilliant
Thank you. More driving videos up as part of my short bridge building series, starting next week. Thanks also for watching, commenting and supporting my channel.
Awesome job, Tony, now make her shoot airsoft bullets through the cannon! I would love to play with it all day! Tank,tank,tank.........
Now that would be awesome!. Thank you for watching and commenting. I hope you continue to follow my build projects.
Tony. Thoroughly enjoyed watching you build your Tiger. You must be so pleased and proud of your build. I only wish I could have bought a Tiger kit from Armourtec. I look forward to following you on your next build and hope I shall be building the same tank. Cheers for now.
Hi Warren, Thank you so much. I hope you can take the plunge and go for the M26 as it's looking like the best kit Armortek have produced and proving to be really popular. I just hope I can do it justice when I come to start the build. In the meantime I hope you watch my short series on the bridge build starting next weekend...I have some more driving shots towards the end of that series...Have a great remainder of the weekend. Thanks again for your continued support, it means a great deal to me.
You’ve been an invaluable inspiration Tony. My sincere thanks for your videos, you’ve allowed me to avoid some of the pitfalls that crop up whilst building one of these Tanks. I’m now at the point on my Tiger build where I need to start fitting the Motion packs and other bits and bobs. If only you lived close to Wiltshire! 😢 Best regards. Chris.
Hi Chris, that is an amazing comment and thank you so much. I am sure you will be fine...although somewhat daunting, fitting the packs is not that difficult as it is relatively plug and play.. The bench test is essential..if you set everything up on the bench, plug it all into the right kit following the instructions and labels, then connect your batteries, and align the channels as per the instructions, this allows you to familiarise yourself with the operational parts ahead of the installation. I guess you have set up the radio gear ahead of this part? Test each part as instructed in the manual...If you fall into difficulty I will try to help on here or definitely reach out to the forum. There are so many really helpful and much more experienced builders on there...good luck my friend, but I don't think you need it. If I did live closer mate, I would have no problem trying to help...thanks again for your continued support.
I'm in Reading if you get stuck with the electrics. I've done quite a few now ;-)
@@adrianharris411 . Hi Adrian. That’s a very kind offer that I could very well take you up on. I’m in north Wilts very close to J14 Hungerford.
Tiger looks fantastic. Well done, everyone has commented. Your bridge looks very nice as well. Looking forward to the next set of videos. My M26 shipped last Thursday, but have not received it yet. It has arrived in the states, but I think it is still going through customs. Just waiting for an update from UPS!
Hi Ray, thank you so much. The bridge has turned out better than I expected and the videos start uploading this coming weekend..I am in the hands of my chief editor(AKA My son) he has started getting these ready now. My M26 is expected hopefully week commencing 27th March..I think I am in a queue for dispatch, so just in time for when my bridge videos are all uploaded. I have also done a quick video on the tools I used to build the Tiger and hopefully come in handy on the M26 Build. Fingers crossed your M26 turns up soon...be careful, if it is anything like the Tiger the boxes are heavy. Speak soon.
@@tonys_workshop Armortek said combined weight of the three packages is about 75KG.
Hi Ray, that would be about right...The UK max weight of any single package is 25kg. Hope it turns up soon for you sir.
The three boxes just showed up. So shipping from Thursday last week to Tuesday with the weekend in between and a day at customs wasn’t too bad. I’ll tell you at 70 years old, 50 pound boxes feel a lot heavier than when I was younger!
@@raymassa3751 Hi Ray, that is great news. Yes they are heavy old boxes...hope you have somewhere to dispose of them and the packing peanuts..oh the packing peanuts...there is so much of that. I am expecting mine from the 24th of March...I think there is a queue for dispatch. Take care moving these around and take your time and enjoy the build...I will be with you as soon as I can 😀
Im here in East Windsor CT in America 🇺🇸
Hello Tony. Great job. Tiger looks amazing. Nice job on the extras. The crew figures look great. Can't wait to see the Pershing. I even have a terrific name for your bridge. Pegasus Bridge! A nice tribute to a famous British Division.
Hi Steve, thank you so much for your continued support and great comments. I have been to Bénouville and walked across the new Pegasus Bridge and seen the section of the original bridge in the museum. It was indeed a great privilege to see both on a trip we made to Normandy 5 years ago. It was on this trip I first saw a Tiger tank up close..the Vimoutiers Tiger: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vimoutiers_Tiger_tank#/media/File:Char_Tigre_de_Vimoutiers_2010-10_(4).jpg Hope you continue to follow my build projects and thanks again for supporting my channel.
Fantastic job, fantastic series. Thank you for taking the time to show us. Looking forward to the M-26!
Thanks Jeffrey. I cant wait to receive the M26 and start building it. Hope you tune in to watch the short bridge building series in the meantime. Thanks also for your continued support, it is very much appreciated.
That's cool 😎
Great job on the Tiger, and the figures look very nice as well.
Thank you. They really finish it off...I will be putting the Tiger through its paces at the end of my short bridge building series, starting next week. Hope you continue to follow and support.
Better than the Mona Lisa Tony. Loved the panzer crew ,nice to see stowage bin used . Always good to see the younger generation helping . Did you build this in winter 21\22 because you were driving it in the summer ? Another tank will be good to watch .
Hi Steve...Thank you...what an amazing comment...Yes I finished the build late summer last year. My grandson is fascinated with the Tiger but also scared when it starts up. I got him some old vintage action man tanks and vehicles and it makes me giggle when he tries to compare them to this beast :-) He is mesmerised by the tank crew as am I :-) Thanks so much for your support right from the beginning and hope you follow my bridge build whilst awaiting delivery of the M26.
Look forward to seeing the next build.
Thanks Damien, bridge build up next week and then on to the M26.
Hi there, I've been watching you build the tank from start to finish. You have done an amazing job putting it together and saying it's your first time. Well done, you have kept me entertained and can't wait to see what you do next by the way those figures you got for the tank are quality 👍
Thank you for watching and such an amazing comment. I am glad you found my channel and followed my first build. My short 1:6 scale bridge build series starts this weekend and then on to my M26. I hope you watch and enjoy these videos as well..I have some great driving footage at the end of the bridge build which I am hoping viewers will enjoy also. The figures are brilliant and I will be using Churchill for the US tank commanders on my m26 as and when I ever get to that point :-)
Really enjoyed this build.Very informative and made me decide to get the Armourtek Panther later this yea.Thanks mate.
Thank you and I am glad you have decided to go for one of these, you will not regret it. Thanks also for watching and commenting. I hope you continue to follow my build projects.
Happy to see this video pop into my recommended feed. First time viewer of the channel, and an instant subscriber.
Wow, that is brilliant. Thank you and hope you continue to follow my build projects.
love the channel Tony, and look forward to new projects
Thank you and thank you for continuing to support my channel..Hope you enjoy the next projects as much as the Tiger.
Tony your tiger came out very very nice she is Simply Beautiful good work
Thank you Daniel. Thank you also for following my journey. I hope you continue to follow my future projects. Have a great weekend.
Fantastic job Tony, you should be pleased. It's odd finally seeing some of the footage from your opening sequence, that we've seen since your first unboxing video.
Thank you Russ. Thank you for watching, commenting and supporting. I hope you continue to follow my bridge build with more driving videos and then on to the M26 build.
@@tonys_workshop I will do Tony, honestly, these are great videos to just watch and see your progress. I'm so pleased you have another one to do.
素晴しいです 信じられないモデルです
どうもありがとう。次のタンクを受け取ったばかりなので、フォローを続けてください。これを箱から出してすぐに始めます。トニーのワークショップからよろしくお願いします。 Thank you so much. please continue following as I have just received my next tank and will be un-boxing this and getting started very soon. Warm regards from tony's workshop.
Glad to see you're having so much fun with it 🙂
Hi Adrian, great to hear from you. Hope all is well...Thank you for watching and commenting. Thanks also for the help you provided with the radio set up. I may be calling on your services at the same point of the M26 set up 🙂
Turned out superb Tony. Looking forward to the next.
Thanks Malcolm. Ahead of receiving my M26, I hope you enjoy my short series on the bridge build and more driving videos starting next week.
Sweet tank❤😊
Thank you, hope you check out my other videos.
Nice vid bro! Keep up the good work!
Thank you and I hope you continue to follow my builds.
Absolutely stunning work 👌 👏
Thanks Jason, very much appreciated. Hope you continue to follow my next build projects.
@tonys_workshop most definitely mate can't wait 👍
Simply brilliant work. Sincere kudos. Now you need to airbrush on some grime and weathering. It looks almost too new and clean for a battle tank - lol I realize just how 'spendy' these kits are (they DON'T cost too much, I just can't afford them) so it's marvelous that those of us with thin wallets can vicariously enjoy the build process through your vids. Like they say , the difference between men and boys is the price of their toys. Looking forward to the Pershing.
Thank you for a great comment. I was tempted, but I am so happy with the look, I am probably going to keep it as it currently is. Besides, it will weather over time naturally...The tracks look so realistic now the paint has started to wear. I am so glad that you enjoyed this series and hope you tune into my brief bridge building videos ahead of my Pershing arriving. Thanks again for your support.
Great Tank Mate ,
Thanks Richard. More coming soon..Hope you continue to follow.
Super cool! Very nice looking tank. Really enjoy the moving tank crew.
Thanks again...yes the crew really finish this off...I have more driving clips up as part of my bridge build...hope you enjoy those as well...
What can I say Tony other than epic bud so many questions. Love the sweater, nice mustang. Those figures I need a set of those!!! Accessories Dragon? Tiger drives beautifully no bouncing around like my 1/16 do. What journey loved every minute of it. Watched the latest video/update on the persching going to be a better. On the 1/6 American thing, I have the roc hobby willy's jeep and trailer set superb bit of kit and not a lot of money if you fancy adding something like that to the collection? They drive fantastic its basically a crawler underneath the detailed body. Also ordered same radio set they have a very good reviews. Cheers for all the videos you have helped me out no end. Cheers
Good morning Gary. Thanks mate for your continue kind comments and support. Sweater, yeah I had to do it as I am tank crazy now. Mustang, not mine, my sons and his last hurrah, before getting married. Figures, yes Dragon...but buy used un-boxed ones, they are cheaper then get in contact with Sym from Churchill Creations: www.churchillcreations.co.uk I love how the tiger moves...it is so realistic. I am still developing my driving skills and have another driving video coming up when I start interacting with the bridge. I hope you enjoy that when it is up. I have seen the ROC jeep set and very tempted, especially when I come to the end of my M26 build and other plans as you know. I am taking your final comment as a huge compliment...I have seen your work mate and massive respect to you. Have a great weekend and hope you tune in to follow my short series on the Bridge build.
Really cool!
Thank you. Hope you continue to follow my project builds.
It looks so amazing , you really can be proud of you ❤😮
Thank you so much for such an amazing comment. I really hope you join me on my next build.
That's awesome news I can't wait to see how that turns out if comes out as good as that tiger then your on a great gurney on here 😀 👍
Hi Adrian, thank you. that means a great deal to me.
What a pleasure to follow your amazing journey. I’ve always wanted an RC tank but wondered what life ‘after the tank’ would be like! They’re not small things that you can put on a shelf, and I suspect that for many owners the real pleasure is in building them and then the first few weeks of operation, but what happens then? For me I expect that the fun, allied to the frustrations, would lead me to sell the finished product and then move on to the next tank project. What is your opinion of long term ownership? I’m really looking forward to your Pershing project and following another amazing journey by such a talented yet modest model maker. Good luck 💥
Hi Peter, thank you for your very positive comments. You are so right...these are not small things and post build the builder needs to have a plan as to what to do with it. In my case I thought long and hard about this as I did not want to be in the position you describe. The build is brilliant, but so too is the driving especially when you put obstacles in its way. The very reason I built the scale bridge was to make the drive interesting. I have also planned to build a 1:6 scale tank driving range in the future..I have a small plot of land which I am looking at developing into an arena for tank builders such as myself to put their hard work to the test...this is a long term plan and something I will be looking to do next year. I may go on to sell the Tiger at some point, but in the meantime I am looking forward to building the M26 and will continue to have fun putting my Tiger through it's paces. Thanks again for supporting and following my projects, it is very much appreciated. Have a great weekend.
Yes!
Great build and videos amazing is you are fresh youtuber your perform is so natural one thing bothers me that hull mg is same color than rest of the body consider paint it? Or is it supose be that way? Anyway tiger look great cant wait your next build.
Hi and thank you for such an amazing comment. You are correct and it was my oversight...re-painting the MG is on my list of things to do. I am still waiting for the delivery of the M26, but hopefully by the end of this month. In the meantime, I hope you tune into the short bridge building series. The tank comes into action at the end of this series..Thanks again for watching, commenting and supporting, it means a great deal to me.
Hi Tony, enjoyed seeing your journey with the Tiger, I am hoping to start my own journey with building the Panther G, hoping to order tomorrow and collect next week, have you got recommendations with your transmitter I do have a Spektrum DX9 would this be ok to use? Do Armortek give recommendations for batteries, and any other parts that are required, please can you list links to all the other recommendations you have spoken about? looking forward to your next journey, I doubt I have the skill to broadcast my efforts🙂
Hi and thanks for watching and commenting. Good luck with you build. Please see below links for the recommendations Armortek made for me: Batteries: YUASA REC22-12 CYCLIC/GOLF BATTERY 12V 22AH www.tayna.co.uk/golf-batteries/yuasa/rec22-12/ You will require two of these. Radio gear: Transmitter: FrSky Taranis X9D Plus 2019 (t9hobbysport.com) Receiver: FrSky X8R Receiver (t9hobbysport.com) Bear in mind there is no rush to buy these as the static build will take you over 200 hours. Same goes for the option packs..unless you have ordered these at the same time, just order them nearer the time you require them. Hope this helps.
What did you use as metal Tracks materials
Great build and a good insight into how these kits go together. Just wondering why your oil drum has a decal of the Wehrmacht 7th Panzer division on it and your vehicle obviously belongs to the WSS
Hi Ian and thank you for watching and commenting. Well spotted. The oil drum was given to me by an old chum of mine and promised I would use it as he gave it to me. He has seen it on the tank and I felt bad if I removed the insignia in this film. I am a sucker for sentiments like that. Hope you continue to follow my next projects.
Tony, do you have more details on the blue "lift" under the tank? I would appreciate a link to the retailer who sells that item. It is very useful to lift up the tank to put the tracks on or take them off.
No problem...if you type in "Motorcycle Scissor Lift" into amazon or the internet, you should find it. They are approx £45.00. These are an essential piece of kit when working with these heavy tanks. I also store my tanks on these, elevated to take the load of the torsion bars when not in use. Hope this helps.
Hola, oye amigo un gusto soy jose Santos y me gustaria saber donde puedo comprar un tanque como ese? de esa escala 1/6
Hola José, encantado de conocerte también. Disculpas por la demora en responder. He estado de vacaciones. vaya al sitio web "Armortek" con sede aquí en el Reino Unido, pero realizan envíos a todo el mundo. Espero que esto ayude. Hi José, nice to meet you too. Apologies for delay in responding. I have been away on holiday. go to a website "Armortek" Based here in the UK, but they ship all over the world. Hope this helps.
Well done Tony very impressive and look forward to seeing more video's of it in action. The dirtier it gets the better it will look. Do you think you'll take it to any shows? Maybe Wings and Wheels at North Weald Airfield, Essex in June?
Hi John and thank you. I will be showing the Tiger operating and using the bridge at the end of my short bridge building series starting next week. I have thought about bringing it along to Wings and Wheels as it is fairly local to me. I have tickets for this years show and bringing my Grandkids with me already. I guess I would have to join a club to be involved?
@@tonys_workshop Hi, I'm not too far away either as I'm in Bishop's Stortford. I actually attend the WEST ESSEX MODEL TRUCK ENTHUSIASTS CLUB who meet at Roydon Village Hall near Harlow twice a month with my 1/12th scale HEMTT Tank transporter and Leopard 2A6 and the next meet is Friday evening 24th March. The club also goes under the name of the MOORHEN MODEL BOAT CLUB and they have a stand at Wings and Wheels where they let me display my HEMMT in front of their stand due to it's size. If your free and pop along (without Tiger on this occasion) maybe some space can be arranged at Wings and Wheels.
Hi John. I am near Braintree, so not that far. Nice model the HEMTT. I guess you have the trailer as well...no wonder you need the space..It must be at least 1500mm long if not longer? Week days are not great for me as I don't tend to get home from work until well after 7.00pm...I will definitely pop over and see you at the show..now I know what to look out for :-) Perhaps I could bring along both the Tiger and M26 to next years show?
@@tonys_workshop Hi Tony. Easter Sunday 9th of April is the next meeting which is all day until 4pm. it would be good to see you if you can make it.
Hi John, Classic! I am doing an Easter Egg hunt with my Grandkids in the morning and then we are all going for Sunday lunch..I will be in Much Hadham, near Bishops Stortford, so not far from where your club is. leave this with me and I will see if I can make that work. I guess you would like me to bring the Tiger?
Hello, how much does the Tiger weigh? otherwise, superb achievement, the cash machine gun would be better in metal gun. cheer!
Hi..not sure but upwards of 150kg...it's very heavy and only possible to move under power. I will definitely change the MG to gun metal. Thanks for watching and hope you continue to follow my future project builds.
I want to go to Tank Museum in Danbury CT
Where is the smoke device? Such a big model deserves a little smoke through the exhaust :)
Hi..The smoke device is installed and now operational. I did point out in my last video that there was a faulty switch. This is now replaced and can be seen in this video at around 8.28 and again at around 13.36. The driving videos shown were taken when the device was not working. More driving videos up at the end of my short bridge building series with lots more smoke. Thanks for watching and commenting and I hope you continue you to follow my future build videos.
@@tonys_workshop Excellent! I love watching videos like this...I will follow :)
If you rotate the turret in the same direction continuously does it twist up the wires for the main gun?
Hi David, a great question , but no..Armortek have thought of that and with the help of a central wiring core which allows the turret to rotate whilst staying stationary this prevents that happening. Thanks for watching, commenting and supporting my channel and I hope you you continue to follow my builds.
Lovely expensive model, its totally Tiger! I take it that its too heavy to manually lift up and hence always needs to be driven up onto its plinth. So whats the total weight of that thing?
Hi...Approx 140-150kg. So yes, impossible to lift by hand...Thank you for watching and commenting. Hope you continue to follow my future builds.
@@tonys_workshop Yes I'll sub and see what you're up to!
@@TheGeezzer Thank you
This may have been asked before, how much does it weigh?
Hi...thanks for watching and commenting...As an estimate approx 150kg with all the option packs and batteries.
Hi Tony. Can you tell me where you managed to get your stencils for the Tigers markings from pls. Armourpax no longer have the facility to make new ones so I’m a bit stuck. I’m hoping you sourced yours from somewhere else!
Hi Chris. I went for decals for the same reason. try these guys..it is where I got mine from: www.ebay.co.uk/str/peddinghausdecals Alternatively, I have found a great stencil guy who has made stencils for my M26...He does a lot of US 1/6 scale but may be able to help...Contact Paul from: www.ebay.co.uk/usr/noostadirect_dot_com Hope this helps.
@@tonys_workshop . Thanks Tony, I’ll check them both out. Good luck with the M26 build. Chris.
Your method of raising the tank jack is driving me crazy, just add another extension and attach it to your power drill
Its as big as your RV
How do I get involved with RC Tank clubs near me
Not sure...I am based in the UK and there are many...A quick google search of your area shows up a RC tank club called 'N.E.A.R. (CT)' Is that near you?
I have the RC Heng Long RC 1/16 scale RC Tiger1 Tank
Cool Tiger.
Can I come to play 💥
🤣
We were all Allie’s, how come no one wants to build a Sherman?
Hi and thanks for watching and commenting. I would have loved to built an Armortek Sherman, but they stopped manufacturing this kit a few years ago. If they do ever re-release it, it would definitely be popular. Hope you continue to watch and follow my channel.
Casque couleur sable ? ?pas de divisions SS en Afrique 😅
let's call it artistic licence.
Maybe need paint camo?) late versions usually have it always) and please paint MG 34 in front plate in Gun Metal
Hi..yes..still have not decided which Camo scheme to go for, but it will happen. Will definitely address the MG paint. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Its bloody impressive would love one but justifying the cost nah
Thank you for continuing to support my channel. They are expensive and it took me over 10 years of contemplation before I got my Tiger. Hope you continue to follow my other projects. Have a great weekend.
@@tonys_workshop I will. I am still in the process of building Titanic so the skills are appreciated
What did you use as metal Tracks materials
These are cast aluminium and come with the kit.
