HOBBY BOSS 1/16 Scale Pz.Kpfw. VI TIGER Build Update 1

[@johnmason6625]

An amazing kit John, I think the patience of a saint is needed though. You are getting on with it very well.

[@PieAndChips]

Enjoying watching this unfold as I am about to finish my 1/16 Tamiya Tiger 1. Very much looking forward to how you decide to paint and weather this

[@garzy55]

Great series of videos. They were a tremendous help to me.

[@donnicoll1570]

It is amazing what 1 extra track link has done. Realistic sag has appeared. Well done. Keep up the interesting build.

[@raysmith722]

Very nice vehicle. Looking forward to the next part of the build. Your videos are really great to watch. Keep doing what you do.

[@panzertracks]

cool build thanks for sharing.

[@artboy11000]

I just spent two hours trying to install ONE pressure spring and mounting on the hull for the suspension to no avail. I see you had so success with the Instructions and made a workaround. I haven't had any luck with that method either. HELP!!

[@michaellemaire5380]

Hi John, just wanted to point out that "welcome" is one word with one L. In your intro it says "well come". Cheers.

[@jbll36]

Hi John. I like the 1extra link. Gives it the right sag. Looks fantastic so far. Enjoy the day Ray L

[@jamesdziendziel9187]

have you tried mounting all of your screws on a magnet so they don't roll away?

[@MrGarand]

Nice Tiger

[@davidcrimlis2285]

John with the nut could you not put a tiny bit of super glue on it to hold it in the hole?

A beautiful tank I built in the late 90's was the tamiya 1/25 centurion. it has a fully detailed interior. highly recommend it if you can find it on ebay.

[@johnmooresscalemodels5176]

Yep I made it. Vids on the channel

@@johnmooresscalemodels5176 Cool! I'll look for it. Did you also build the 1/35 Academy Tiger with the detailed interior? I enjoyed building that one also.

Hey John just found your channel today, great videos and work. Im in Ireland too, in Dublin. What is the best website to buy these models and to get the paints and brushes. Also to get that green work board. Thanks john 👍

[@johnmooresscalemodels5176]

Hi. I mostly use model hobbies.co.uk for kits and paint I get paint, brushes and the cutting mat from art supply shop here in limerick most art supply shops will have these.

[@brianhurley6289]

Theres a guy in UK called polorbear6kits. He has lots of kits on ebay. Bidding. Great bargains. Have been buying from his shop for years. Excellent!

[@jordidewaard2937]

How in God’s named did you do the wheels? Mine just dont want to go in at all

[@johnmooresscalemodels5176]

They needed a little sanding on the axle then press hard and they pop in it is a hard fit

[@robertsmith8648]

Like your doing the zimmret.

[@federicodiaz1482]

i have a question .. do you think this scale is fine,, for 1/12 figures (12 cm tall ) THANKS!

[@johnmooresscalemodels5176]

A six foot person in 1/12 scale would be 15cm

[@federicodiaz1482]

@@johnmooresscalemodels5176 i got some military figmas.. 12cm tall MAX ,, so i guess this model would be to small ?

[@johnmooresscalemodels5176]

12cm for figures would probably be 1/16 Scale

[@charlesdalsace2279]

Hello. I have started to assemble this Tiger I. I have assembled the lower body with the axles. Installing the suspensions is relatively simple when you have found the trick. However I have a problem with the wheels. I can't fix them properly to the body. The bar inserted in the wheels does not fit well in the axles. I don't know why. I don't think I made a mistake when I mounted the wheels. Did you have any problems with this?

[@johnmooresscalemodels5176]

You have to push fit them they pop in

[@charlesdalsace2279]

@@johnmooresscalemodels5176 Indeed, it is necessary to push them. However, to remove them and paint them, you have to pull like crazy. Thank you for your reply.

[@LordViking396]

Hey John, any chance you could scan in the manual? My friend Kenneth had an accidental delivery of his kit and the manual was wet upon arrival so he lost it. If you can, let me know and I'll send you his mail account :) Thanks and good luck on the build!

[@johnmooresscalemodels5176]

Yes I can do that my email is [e-mail] send me his email address and I will photo it and send it on.
