Hey guys is this right ?

There is a strong possibility that I could have the first 2 kits ready to ship at the end of next week.

Just in time for Mothers day !!

[normandy]

Mothers Day, NICE!!!! Mrs. Normandy gonna love it, with a daffodil on top.

Great news Pickel, very cool looking tank you've made for us......Thanks!!

[maritime96]

You have me correct. Looking forward to this one

[grockwood]

That is correct for me also. I will send the $35.00 at the end of the week.

Gary Rockwood

[skypirate]

Correct for me too.

[normandy]

Any updates Pickel? I'm in no rush, just wondering.

[pickelhaube]

I was a little premature.

I ran out of resin

I have since gotten more and am ready to resume pouring.

[normandy]

Hey no problem Pickel.
After finding the above picture, I'm defiantly building the Jagdtiger without side skirts.
Just have pick a paint scheme.

Thanks for sharing the jagdtiger video that was a great watch. Ill get to the other tomorrow

[pickelhaube]

The first 2 kits WILL go out this Monday !!!!

Kit #1 is kitted and has got to be packed up. ( Normandy ) You are OK with cut lines ?

Kit #2 is about 85 % kitted and will be finished probably today. I need to pour a small amount of missing small pieces. ( Maritime 96 ) You still want me to cut and glue ?

I will start pouring kits # 3 and 4 this weekend, . Tank Ace and Grockwood Please notify me again if you want cut lines or have me do the cutting and glueing together of the hull walls and floor.

Hopefully I will finish pouring those NEXT weekend and get them kitted.

I need the hulls and big parts to cure at least a week to TRY and minimize warpage..

Hopefully

I will give another update Sunday to confirm.

[maritime96]

Yes please on the cut and glue. Thanks pickle just pm me if I still owe you anything - thanks

[pickelhaube]

The Jagds are packed up and ready to go.


Shipping out tomorrow !!!

[normandy]

Awesome - PM sent!!

[pickelhaube]

He guys with the 4 track links need to be added to each side to accommodate the stretch of the Jagdtiger . I could possibly make 2 small stretches of tracks ( 4 for both sides ) to glue on the bottom long stretch of tracks. Approximately 6 track links front back left and right.

At this point it is too late to make the teeth interlock but I could cut off the pin links and you guys could glue about 6 links front and back ( a total of 24 links that will not have to be cleaned ) !!!. I could make the cuts and you guys could glue them yourselves.

The join should be hidden or at least will not be that visible.

This could possibly save at least 2-4 hours worth of time in cleaning off those individual track links.

You guys who are getting the Jagdtiger speek up of what you would like to have included in your kits.

This will also cut down on my pouring time by me not having to pour an additional 220+ track links.

[grockwood]

Sounds good to me.

Gary

Your Jagdtiger body is poured and the mod has been done but the rest of the parts need to be poured.

Next weekend is my 29th aniversery and Mrs. Spike has told me that next weekend is hers.

Grockwood--- Please PM me your address so I can ship Monday.

Tank Ace--- Please PM me your address ( for shipping Mondsay ) and the list of extra parts that you need. I will send those in a separate box. The Jagdtiger is already packed up.

I got my Jagdtiger a couple of weeks ago. This is the biggest one ever yet. Thanks for the kit. I am glad to see this project went good and in less time than the Horten and King tiger.
You should consider making new molds for sd kfz 222 and maybe do the 221 and 223 variations while at it. Maybe in a near future:?:

[grockwood]

I received my kit last week but haven't had time to open it yet.

[pickelhaube]

Great news guy , but get those things open and separate the parts so they do not warp !!!!!!!!!!!!




Also remember the 2 long track links have that " J " curve to them. If you do not support them they will start to lay flat.

You don't want that.
