Re: Forgebear
I use that’s Taigen base in conjunction with the metal DKLM metal upgrades. Super smooth but three little notches must be cut into the Taigen turret base ring to allow everything to sit flush. Otherwise the three metal turret ring bushings (bushes, shrubbery) hit the plastic Taigen base ring.

Have you got a link to one of these?jarndice wrote:Also from Dave I bought an alternative way to a smooth turning Turret,
I have already tried Metal Turret rings with bearings but Taigen make ABS Turret BASES with built in rollers in the base that run easily over the the Tank body with the Turret ring just controlling its direction.
Simply unscrew the original base plate and replace it with the modded version,
By using the Turret Base instead of the Metal Turret ring you can use a 360 degree Turret ring instead of being limited to 320 degrees because there is not a location for a slip ring on the Metal Turret Ring.
I have tried them in Tiger 1s and Panzer 4s both very good.

Re: Forgebear
Hmm................service as a retail seller into the hobby ..............?
What does that look like ?
Ordering(easy, quick to get confirmation)
Communication(frequent, knowledgeable, concerned),
Delivery ( Short of a private jet & looking like Tom Cruise, how the hell can a man get a product to Australia so quick)
Packaging (c'mon, are you taking the piss, how many boxes, newspapers and resilient packing material & bubble wrap can a man stick in one package & not get a good result)
Folks, Im almost in the farthest reach(outside of New Zealand) that the dedicated team at Forgebear can be from a customer base, and the service & satisfaction is a thing other, bigger on line outfits should envy.
Tank arrived perfect.
Under a week from order to arrival.
I cannot get that turn around from Melbourne to the Gold Coast within Australia
Dave must be P-R-E-T-T-Y well connected in the area of air freight to pull this off..............
If it were not for my awful exchange rate, and corresponding catastrophic postage rate, I would get a tank a month from Forgebear Tanks UK.
If any of you are tossing up as to buy or not to buy, just buy it from Forgebear & make it easy on yourself.
