Hello Christian,I am impress as always with your talent.How well is the machine operating? I did not realize how large the cutting surface was.I was wondering though once a sheet is cut into different shapes do you have stability issue,or the sheet deforming? Blake

very nice work Christian. For a barrel I used tubing from B&Q and put a lump of milliput on the end. When it was solid I turned the barrel on a small lathe to make the muzzle brake.

thank you,

@oztruck
i will use standart Henglong equipment. at the moment im not sure which gearbox im going to use.
The road weels are the next step of development. but it is interestening that some roadweels of the tiger are use able!!
At the moment i dont have an ideae of the price must be nearly like my porsche tiger. but than with out any suspension and roadweels.
but bevor it is going to my shop i have to fix some mistakes.

@Saxondog
there was no problem of stability, i used some bolts

Nice work Christian I like the way you have hidden the suspension behind the armour just like the real ones I will have to start saving some money up for one of these.

im thinking about it,
what kind of acsis for the gearbox do you use, a long one from the m41/m26 or the short one of the tiger.
the short one doesnt work at me :-/
