Evening / Morning All
As I write this we're still stuck in a full lockdown. As of Wednesdy next week, we are going down a level, while Auckland stays all buttoned up. Mind you the change in levels doesn't really mean much, still have to work from home and family bubbles can be extended slightly, but no travel out of your region is allowed.
So, it has meant some modelling time this weekend. No work done on the Tiger, but a crack at the figures for the upcoming diorama. To that end i've started a thread in the figures area.
Cheers
Mark

Question is, is the Lockdown helping anything at all?
Still if your money is coming through without any losses, then the free time could be a plus.

Same here I Japan mate. The schools suddenly closed down for a week or maybe more, so my daughter is at home all day, and being the ace dad that I am I keep her company.

Well, I would say it is helping as it's curbing the growth. This Delta variant is definitely more contagious than the first round. However, the government is squarely to blame as they just haven't prioritised and pushed vaccinations. Then when you get one border lapse and the whole country shuts down. Lastly, this ridiculous expectation of covid elimination, cloud frikken cuckoo land!! We'll never be able to open our borders again. You can say that the UK has been a basket case in the way things have/are being handled but at least over 80% of the population has now been vaccinated. Lockdown rant over!!  |

One of the best tigers I've seen. The weathering and effects look brilliant.

Evening / Morning All It had to happen one day, and about 7 months after the first sprue was prized from the box, this kitty has been tamed. I can now claim my armour modellers badge of honour and a coming of age  The last blobs of mud and flicked mud were added to the front and over the spare track. Then I added the fire extinguisher (Which i'd completely missed!. The final act was to add the 3 antenna rods, and bamm, job done. I have a great theme / Idea for the diorama and that will unfold over in the diorama section. I may be a week or two away though as i'm waiting on some arrivals from a Chinese trading site. So, enough words. I am going to set up a better photo base and background and along with my Cannon digital SLR I hope some cleaner and crisper photos. Here's some pics off my phone in the interim.          Cheers Mark |

This really is very good.
Do all tigers have antenna as is got some in the box but nothing about adding them in the instruction?
