; but it has been almost five years, and two iterations to get the Cromwell finally clanking away. So, it's high time for action in film, instead of stills.I've also been struggling to get the clip published on Youtube. It must be the tight security now built into Apple's Safari browser, as the 'publish' and other key buttons remain frustratingly greyed out, even after a successful upload and 24 hrs of waiting
I thought some invisible censor had got it in for me, when the only objectionable thing in this clip might be a dog's a**s. 
Eventually, I used Firefox instead, and it worked perfectly. Och well...live and learn.
Note, I forgot to switch the smoke on here; but it works fine. Also, the upper hull is only loosely fitted; hence the gap at the front. In fact, for security, instead of magnets, I've made provision for two screws to pass through the forward storage bins, to keep the hull flat. They're absent here.
I managed to get one red flash from the cannon, in an earlier 'Cecil B. De Military' movie attempt- but there's an issue to sort.
I'll also put a link to the video in my Cromwell build thread.

I think, possibly, I could have managed that as well, given the urgency of the situation!. 
I was trying to master slow control of the model,... before the dogs butted in, that is. The TK 6.1s unit really does offer excellent 'creep' control- with practice.

Und so ist das Leben.
'Writer's block' is a well known phenomenon, but I think I had something like it, or maybe 'Ludwig Lassitude' with the Cromwell. In reality, the dodgy gearbox brought the project to a halt. In retrospect, I'm glad it did, as I'm happier using the TK 6.1s setup than the Clark unit with a hobby-grade TX.
