Hi,
A couple of short vids showing the gun elevation and depression and how i achieved it if anyones interested.
The second link shows the telescopic linkage.

I start with a question, why would we not be interest. Your works are something to be in awe of and this one is no exception. Another top notch piece of engineering

[Herr Dr. Professor]

Yes, this video was short and clearly showed how you set up the gun elevation. I learn from these, so I (and likely others) are interested. Thank you.

Hi.
Glad you found it useful, a different way of elevation etc for sure.

Added the additional gunners turret side armour and the hull front additional armour plus the 2 side opening doors
( concealed hinges are all on the inside.)
Also added 360 degree rotaion to the turret.

Now to work out the secondary armourment of the gunners MG, this is on a circular raised platform above the hatch, it will have to be in 3 pieces as there is a commanders periscope built into it plus the gunners hatch hinges pass through the ring when the hatch is opened.
Then the 2 hatches, these are huge and dome shaped, so will have to cast these from resin i think to get the shape.

Good grief Charlie Brown!!!
Huge amount of work and it’s easy to see the results.
What mesh did you use for the covers ? One type has a very tight & wave’y weave.

Hi Mr Bix.
Thank you for your continued interest and feed back.
Which mesh are you refering to plse.
The brass one is well brass mesh picked up at a model engineering show, the silver one is stainless steel mesh.
Cheers.
