The AMX50 continues to advance even if I post little ... After a long wait, I received pulleys mounted on bearings that allow me to make the return rollers, so I printed in ABS supports to be fixed to the hull and flex filament bandages for these. The inside of the wheels has been drawn in 3D for a long time, it remained to be printed with enough detail, so resin printing. Luckily, my friend Yan has one and he kindly gave me the impressions. The rendering is so great on the first two copies that I fell for it, and ordered the Anycubic Photon Mono X ... but we'll have to wait probably a long time yet ... that's okay, sometimes you have to know how to be patient! When fitting the mudguards, I realized that I had made a mistake in length, so I decided to cut them off and redo the end part. I have no plans to articulate the mudguards in any way, but I will report the missing parts later.
The wiring part between the turret (where almost all the electronics will be located) and the chassis remains to be done in full, but the final visual begins to emerge ... Make way for the photos:

Hi everyone!
The project is not at a standstill even though I haven't posted anything for a long time ...
I had a lick of French green paint, put on the headlights, redone the front junction (too coarse) between the upper and lower hull, and I am doing the taillights and those of the mudguards. I hesitated, but eventually they will be functional too.
Make way for photos:

Thank you very much Herman :thumbup:
The end is approaching and I am resuming certain finishes that I did not like too much ...
I continued the manufacture of the fender lights and their protective cage, my life is a little more complicated but they will be functional!
I think I managed to untwist the tracks which had twisted slightly while heating during the removal of one of the teeth with the Dremel.
I put in place the rear light protection, one of the two lights is finished with 2 micro-leds inside, the other is in progress ...

It's a very cool build. I wish there were more odd tanks available for sale.
