Mojo has returned big time. Progress pic of a few things on the bench. AAA trailer, 251/11, 251/1 C&D, three Tiger Is, three Tiger IIs, & a Kettengrad.

C&Cs encouraged. PaulE

Now that's a proper bench, none of this tidy nonsense :smiling5:

Using a mix of ArsenalM & ROCO figs. Non-Heiser coversion Tiger I gets Hauler tracks. I'm keeping to German practice of last in first out, so a mix of old & new parts.

Not as cool as Heiser or ArsenalM tracks, but an improvement over ROCO's.

Ready for final paint/decals/weathering.

Those came out nice Paul. I have not had the opportunity to use Hauler's etched tracks but I have in the stash six pairs of etched brass Tiger ll tracks made by PK Militaria for a future "gang" build I will be doing. If you are interested I can pm the info to you. Rick H.

Thanks, please do. They are unknown to me. I may not have a need as my TigerIIs & Jagdtigers are ArsenalM & have excellent tracks, but they may have other needful things:smiling2:. PaulE

A nice update on the Tiger Paul. Looking forward to seeing you dirtier her up

[minitnkr]

Thanks Steve. Me too. Presently mucking about w/251s. A 251/11 for the Wespe unit & two 251/1s to complete the PG Co. which is already pretty big w/attached engineer elements including 251/7s, 16s & 'Stuka on Foot's. PaulE

Hi Paul,

Thought the etch tracks would be a bit thin but I see you stick them over the kit parts - adds a bit of detail to the outside anyway :thumb2:

[rtfoe]

Hi Paul, the tracks do look good. Did you have to shave off any detail from the tracks that you stuck the PE track on?

Cheers,
Richard

Paul,
The PE tracks look good and finish the build off.

[minitnkr]

Thanks guys. Yes, I shave off the ridges ROCO uses as track detail where the PE goes, usually leaving them on the bottom where I don't add PE. Here's some paint progress on tanks & crews. PaulE

Wet stuff is coming along nicely Paul. Very nice indeed
