Man..that is a BEAST! the grab handle bending tips is wonderful, was thinking about buying one of those jig tools but after seeing you do it so easy...sorted....and we know you hate the tracks....but lord they are beautiful when on.....cannot wait for the painting video ( yes, we have seen the stills, but it’s like watching the Bob Ross of modelling watching you work the paint.....Friday is become my favourite day of the week!

I built the Takom's late King Tiger and I had also some issues with parts that did not really fit together, especially the rear hull plate. Your Jagdtiger looks perfect. With the commander it is even more interesting. Martin, what kind of hot wire saw do you use for cutting styrofoam?

Good thing you didn't get one because I have the RP Toolz handle bender and it's pretty much useless. Grab handles have each specific dimensions and these special tools have a very limited range of diameters, which means, you'll probably never be able to replicate a handle from a kit. Making a ghetto bending jig like the one in the video is not only cheaper but also gives you a perfect replica of the handle that will fit as the original part. Also, why is pretty much every modelling Youtuber a Bob Ross of modelling? 😁😁😁

Wow, so the KT has the rear plate, JT has the front plate... fascinatingly weird! Here's the saw on ebay: Hot Wire Foam Cutting Machine Work Table Sponge Foam Cutter DIY Stainless Steel - just put this into search and it'll pop up. I didn't include the link because it's like 20 lines long 😆
