Hey guys, it seems my audio just cuts out for 90 seconds after the demo, my apologies, no idea what happened. I'm not going to fix it as I think the video still functions as intended. I was just waffling about how you can get early and late as well as mirrored versions etc.
Hi! I found these being demonstrated via “Sprues n Brus” on YT....and ordered up three sets, two late types and one early and they go together really well! Tankraft have marketed these well. Their packaging is excellent, not only is it tough enough but it’s also roomy enough to ensure that the enclosed track, links and pins, remain safely cozied up within the box and foam packing...👍🏻👍🏻....proper packaging! I like the way the instructions are pasted onto the interior box lid....again good design....and the instructions are clear and easily understood....👍🏻👍🏻 Construction was easy enough and I found that the pins were more than sufficiently secure enough, to not require any gluing! What a bonus that was....no trapped track, no glue laden, finger marks to worry about, just lovely, nicely detailed, working track! I can happily recommend these to anyone in the modelling fraternity.....they’re an excellent “up grade” to indulge in! Thanks very much!
Nice to see you on the Tube again. You are right on the crest of new technology of the modeling world. Very cool. I'll have to try these 3D tracks sometime in the future. Happy modelling!
@@AdamMann3D I am alive and well here in the New England. Building models and hoping to finish a few as I move along. Been busy with newsletter writing for my local IPMS chapter. I might start making videos again in the future.
@@russellgosselin3325 well i for one would love to see you return. You are part of the RU-vid old school. You've got lots of friends out here. Don't forget it.
Ordered two sets of track after watching this. They arrived today and all I can say is “wow”! They look amazing! Can’t wait to use them. I will be ordering more!
They look great. Your demo was very convincing! Sign me up for Pz.Kpfw I or II if it ever happens. Friuls are too fragile to drill for a ham-fist like myself!😁 Looking forward to more videos - nice to see you back.👍
I'll make a video shortly, but long story short I had a rough job that was making me miserable and my.2 boys are 2 and 4. So now that i am working back in 3d from home it's only the kids that keep me away. But I'm trying to find a balance and ease back in.
Glad to see you back, I bought the stl file a while back. On my 3rd set now and printing my own pins. The best $5 I ever spent. Would love to get a set of these but postage to Australia is horrendous.
I should really do some pins for my files. Are you in the Tiger I in Scale facebook group? That's my group and I'd love to see your work with the tracks on.
@@AdamMann3D Thanks for the reply. I have a fond regard for the Tiger 1. I lived not far from Bovington for 10 years so Tiger 131 was a joy to see. I did Tiger Day one year and the dedication of the volunteers to that machine is awe inspiring. As for modelling I don't go for realism to the depths of most modellers. However, I do appreciate the art the the likes of you produce. I say I don't go for realism but the tracks have to be better than what most kits provide. Having tried soft metal and Ryefield at a significant cost , especially here in Australia, the best bang for buck is yours. If you have a 3D printer it's a no brainer. Next file to do is the tool clamps. Now that will be a challenge in 1:35 scale. But I'm up for the challenge. I hate photo etch.
Adam, it truly TRULY is great that you have more time to post more things for us 😍😍😍 I won’t lie I’ve been sad know one does Tiger review, build etc videos like you, you’re passion is infectious and for other vehicles to but especially where Tiger 1’s are concerned and YES I know there are others out there who know more, you tell us so in ALL your videos 😉 but no one has that Adam Mann touch 😍😍😍 no holds barred, honest and with your humour 😂😂😂 so I for one am so happy to hear your coming back… but honestly, for me you’ve not been away as I watch your videos over and over again there that good… in my eyes anyway 😂😂😂 wishing you all the very best with your new job and looking forward to your comeback video 🙏😂😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad to see you back! Tracks look nice and easier to work with than the metal ones not to mention the weight! Will get a set when I build another Tiger!
Great review. I am liking all the 3D printed tracks on the market now. TREX, RochM Model, Heavy Hobby, Minor Model (?), and now Tankraft. I guess just like with metal tracks, we now have to see what separates these brands from each other. I do like that these ones are made in USA and also I trust them extra being your design :) I think Brad is going to send me some to check out.
Mr Mann I need your help I need 3d printed tiger front fenders for my Ryefield tiger kit I DONT have a 3d printer but want to buy some. Can I and how? Thanks for any help.
Tankraft carries a Panther set (or will) i was involved with. Modeled by my friend Kai but based on initial work by me measuring my original link. I endorse his. But i plan to do all Pnazer links. It's a passion project. Tankraft will carry quite of few.
@@AdamMann3D hopefully sooner than later! I’m excited to try them out. I have to get a Tiger 1 now, haha I will order these tracks soon, they look great
The tracks look good but they don't seem to interlock very well with the drive sprocket in this video ? So are you going to produce a Sprocket that fits the links ?
Hi Adam. Would you mind have a look at this video and telling me which version of the Tiger tank appears at the 15min 18 sec mark? It looks like one of the first Tigers (initial production) with the storage boxes on the side. It also appears as if the tracks are transport tracks as they are not as wide as the normal ones... Would appreciate your input. Here is the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xSxs4BVlitU.html
