1/6 Scale Armortek Tiger 1 Tank Build - Video 12 Part 2: Assembly and build of the top deck 

Thanks Daniel, your continued support is amazing.

Thank you Nelson, your kind comments are really appreciated. Let's hope you don't rule it out completely. I nearly did, but have not regretted one moment of this experience.

Thank you, your comments and support are very much appreciated.

Any news on when you can expect your M26? I think its going to around Mid March when they are ready to ship.

@@tonys_workshop No, not yet. But your mid March timeframe seems correct.

Спасибо. Мне нравится твой позитивный взгляд.

Thanks Joe.

Hi Johnny, Ouch! Thanks for watching and your comments.

Thanks again Joe, your support is hugely appreciated. Hope you continue to follow my build.

Thank you, that means a great deal to me..Hope you continue to follow.

@@tonys_workshop I hope you do another tank built when this one is completed.

@@outdoors7076 Thank you..definitely..upcoming projects are, firstly I am building a 1/6 scale bridge so I can drive my tank over, then, when it arrives, I will be building the US M26 Pershing. I will be listing all videos on both projects on my channel. Hope you continue to watch and follow.

You and chieftain are my favorite channels

@@outdoors7076 Wow..I love that guy..I am one of his many subscribers...I will be using him as one of my references when I start to build the M26 in a couple of months. I am humbled to be found in your favourites along with his channel..Thank you.

LOL...Blame the missus...she is obsessed with Costcos. Thanks again Steve for your continued support.

Hi Alastair, thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, to my utter frustration I discovered this later down the line..Armortek don't highlight that and it is annoying, however I did resolve this and I do cover this in a later video. Hope you continue to watch and follow.

OMG Gary, it has blown me away... I loved building this kit and only thought a few people may be interested....Who knew! Thank you for your continued support mate, it is, as always very much appreciated... Yes..afterwards, thought I may have annoyed a few people with that comment...the problem is, I say too much sometimes. Whoops!

Yes, it works brilliantly. Not sure if it is a proprietary part or not. I suspect Armortek may commission these. Which tanks do you have?

@@tonys_workshop A 2009 King Tiger (now sold to exchange a 2007 Tiger 1). The KT's turret was very heavy (>29kg) and T1's also heavy (~25kg), that to rotate it wasn't a easy task. I bet with the Lazy Susan ring , it's a different story.

Hi Bazzer, Thanks again for your support and comments. Thats what I thought at the time, but double checked and these are installed as instructed.

Hi Steve, thanks again for your support. The turret ring is set up like a 'Lazy Susan" with integral ball bearings. I have a few books, but not the Haynes Manual...I didn't realise at the time you could buy something like that, but I know now and will be getting one of those for the M26 when it arrives. The book in this video is by David Doyle, "Legends of Warfare, Tigers 1 & 2"

@@tonys_workshop I have several Tank Haynes manuals and word of caution they are not what you would call traditional Haynes manual you just get a couple of cross sections good books but just a money spinning idea from Bovington. Hillary Doyle and Tom Jentz better.

Не уверен о чем ты?

no

Hi Nigel, thanks for watching and your comment. They do sit on top as I show. Shame Armortek don't actually show these on the instructions.

Hi John, I would have loved to have done this on my Tiger, but was worried I would mess it up. Definitely something I will consider when I build the Pershing. Thanks for watching and your comment, it is very much appreciated.

@@tonys_workshop Mate, you've got this! There are tutorials for everything my friend. This guy (link) is a legendary kit builder. Just scale up from 1/35 to 1/6. Thanks for the series, really enjoy and appreciate it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TW65lwwfJqk.html

@@johnboy384 Thanks John..I will check that out..Definitely something I want to do for the next one..Thanks for watching and supporting, it means a great deal to me.

Hi David...Legends of Warfare(ground) Tigers 1 & 2 by David Doyle. hope this helps...

That particular book is "Legends of Warfare" Ground "Tigers 1 & 2" by David Doyle. It is a brilliant book containing so much detail and history. Hope this helps.

@@tonys_workshop Thanks for the answer. I have had this book already. I'm gonna to read it again. 👍👍👍

Hi That particular one is "Legends of Warfare" Tigers 1 & 2 by David Doyle. Hope this helps. Its a great book with lots of information/history and covers in detail the 131 early version currently at Bovington.

@@tonys_workshop many thanks,it one i dont have

Hi Jeroen, yes, sorry, I did state from the off that I was a complete novice...too late for this series, but will definitely do that on the next build. Thanks for watching and hope you continue to follow the build.

WOW! Get a life

If you don’t like model tanks, don’t watch this video, I guess it’s the same with vapes…. @Tony, thank you for sharing this adventure with us.
