Thanks again for these videos. I think I’ve picked up something in each one I’ve watched so far. It’s interesting to see a different kit being built and they also just help with motivation as well.

You are very welcome and thanks for your kind comments. The build part of these kits is very rewarding especially when you approach it with patience, lots of patience. I am glad that you are following and I can help with tips. I hope you continue to watch right through to completion.

Want to talk about a slow build. I have a 2005 early Tiger 1 kit and only have the hull and one side of tracks done. It’s turning into a lifetime project. It will take a lifetime for me to finish it. The newer kits seem to be a bit better build. Good luck with yours.

Hi Chris, Thanks for watching and also your comment. My understanding is that yes, Armortek made improvements to the build process so the later kits are more user friendly, but still require that careful and patient approach. I wouldn't concern yourself over the time it takes to build, because the build process for me is the most rewarding, slow or regular progress is still progress..I wish you luck in your build and if I can help with lessons learned on my build, I will gladly assist...Thanks again for watching...Tony

Tony, you certainly don’t want binding, but bushings wear in over time so don’t make them loose either. Of course with the amount of miles you will actually drive the tank over years it probably doesn’t matter.

Hi Nigel, The cost varies according to how much animation you want. I went for head, arms, neck and torso movement. So..you find your donor figures..I bought Dragon figures, but used ones not boxed as these are cheaper...You send the figures to Sym and he takes them apart. He uses the head, hands and uniform only as he makes a new torso and arms so the link to the many servos used. He supplies and attaches the basket and sends them back to you partially dressed and the arms detached so you can pass them through the hatches. To reconnect the arms and dress is very straight forward. Hope this helps...

Just subbed, interested in following this project. Coming from an engineering background I find it rather disconcerting that you are having to remove burrs and swarf from those bushes and threads. The tolerances of those components are obviously not being checked after the machining process at the factory. Swarf and burrs should be removed after machining, otherwise you will get false readings using measuring equipment, leading to quality issues. Great presentation though, considering your new to youtube, look forward to the tanks progress.

Hi Monty, yes probably. Although I think it adds to the sense of achievement. If it was just bolt together out of the box, it would just be a very expensive meccano set. Thanks for watching and commenting.
