Default RE: Ludwig/ Heng Long king tiger E-100 build



thanks... I was working on the hull and tracks last night.....I bolted up the fenders after adding welds and texture to the slabs of plastic....













For the tracks I am planing on making 2 sets of tracks for the tank....one set will be stock king tiger tracks with duckbills glued on with PVC solvent glue...the display tracks will be hl king tiger tracks with 10mm of other track links and duck bills glued on to them....they will be sale size at 62mm wide....the main problem is the track pins...you need a tempered wire, I found that piano wire is pretty much dead on but the stuff is not cheep.....so the display tracks will have to wait till I find a job......



took me about 2 hours to make one track with the duckbills.....









this is the look I am going for...





Next is back to the turret, I have to figure out how to make the guts before I add any more detail....I have a hl stug elevation unit for moving the gun but recoil has me at a loss.....
