Much better audio and I really appreciate the new edit. You provide an ton of useful information and specific pointers which are very helpful to those of us who will some day be building one of these amazing models, keep the videos coming!
Better without the music background. I’m not good with computers and cameras. Making the videos take more time than building tanks. Hope to get more done before holidays. I
Thank you for taking the time to re-edit the sound. Much appreciated 👍 I've been wondering how much extra weight your upgrades add to the basic set up? Will the additional weight affect the motor or battery life?
Regarding the added weight. Won’t make any difference. Most of what I have added in the Early Tiger so far is saving weight. My new turret bin is half the weight of the original. My mudguards in brass are lighter than the steel kit ones. The kit feifel components are heavy white metal and I will replace with a lighter version. The tiger originally was capable of taking a blank firing magazine. This was an extremely heavy item. If I fit my 88mm gun breech and full interior it will still be lighter. So far everything I have added is weight saving. My interior gun enhancements actually balance the gun barrel and reduce the effort required by the motor to operate elevation. There is nothing I could add that the vehicle couldn’t handle.
Hi, I was a little confused on how you soldered. Am I right in saying that you applied solder first, joined the two parts then reheated for them to bond? Its something that I want to do on future Armortek models. Good up the good work.
It’s the way I attach the pieces. Otherwise I find it hard to get enough heat to make the joint, just takes a few seconds with a small gas heat gun. Apply some flux also. Use dome small clamps. Most important to keep everything clean for a good joint.
I’m not an expert metalworker but it’s probably like brazing but with solder instead of welding rods. The other mudguards I show on lathe late tiger was a kit mudguards which I detailed using other components. The kit components back in 2007 were a bit clunky but I think they still use same mudguards components.
Beautiful! Taking modelling to an art form.
Thank you
And thanks for subscribing. 👍

@@16rctankworkshop-yv8kl that's really good to hear. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

Try using a spring from a retractable writing pen
Far too big. But thanks for suggestion
Try the spring out of a cigarette lighter..
Thank you, will have a look
