Hi!
It's been a while since i last posted. Got caught up in busy work.


IMG_20180702_063035.jpgAnyway, this post is about my new hobby nowadays. My girlfriend, @jenpotgb, got me these 3d metal models and they did really caught my attention.

They're pretty small to assemble for my big hands but that's the challenge to it. So today, im gonna show you my progress in getting one of the models done, which is the tiger tank.


Here are the unassembled parts of the tiger tank 1 metal model. As i have said, it's gonna be a little challenging cause there are tiny parts and details. You also need to be careful because the metal is thin and so easy to fold, you might bend the wrong one.

Just finish the head.
I don' t have tweezers for the tiny parts so it took me a while to assemble it but it's worth it.

Started assembling the body.
I found hair tweezer (hahahaha) though it is slant (not the pointed one) and a little big for holding tiny parts, i did use it for bending.

There are groove marks which act ad guide on where will you bend some parts of it.
