Hi all. Here is my last, but not least project of a scratch modification.
Starting from an old Tamiya King Tiger, thinking in having a Jagdtiger at the end.
Cutting the future combat space
Torsion bars. Missing the first one, at the front.
torsion bars and fire panels. First approach with the engine
Fire panel
Casemate mockup in cardboard
The puzzle
First, installing the torsion bars and the gasoline tanks.
Then building a mockup of the casemate, in cardboard. The casemate panels, according to their measures, are adjusted INSIDE the mockup. Adding the welding adjustments the germans did. Then cementing the panels with Epoxy, filling the gaps between the panels.
Try at first glance of the "gepanzerte" panels
Adjusting the upper to casemate walls. Last view at this moment
