Herman,
The Blade looks fantastic!
I've taken my family on many of these types of journeys "day out for a drive" only to end up at a hobby shop.

Re: RAMSCHAUFELPANZER PANTHER
Thanks Mr C, its a con job that they are used to, but still seems to surprise them !!
I'm getting the lower blade mounting arms done now and hope to get my drill & screw on over the weekend.
Once thats sorted, and the blade assembly is as right as it can be, I will open the hull, install the electronics, test, and secure the hull halves to move on with completion.

Re: RAMSCHAUFELPANZER PANTHER
The blade is on
Well, at least to the lower mounts it is.
Took a bit of manipulation to get the final angles & heights right, but once I had the right look, it was marked and solder paste appled in the required spots.
Clamped the blade back onto the mounts & hit the areas with the butane burner.
Solder paste took immediately & seems to be very firm.
The top mounts I made need to be trimmed shorter slightly, so a bit to do there yet.
The lower mounts were secured to the final drive housings by drilling clean through the plastic and bolting with an M3 hex head bolt and a nylock nut on the other side.
The drive sprockets will cover the heads of the bolts & will not be noticeable.
Once this blade is all mounted & done, its going to move quickly I hope !

Re: RAMSCHAUFELPANZER PANTHER
Herman that blade is a work of art! Almost a shame to paint it
Tanks alot....

Here is a paint process that IMO yields a very convincing unpainted steel.c.rainford73 wrote:Herman that blade is a work of art! Almost a shame to paint it

Re: RAMSCHAUFELPANZER PANTHER
Great find Mr C...................I was close to that method when I did the anti strafing plates on my Jagdtiger a while back.
That is exactly the look i will need to finish off once(if ever) it gets there
Thanks for the link.
