Re: [D-Day] M32 ARV
Last update of the day. Got busy with a couple projects in the garage today, so not much tanking today.
Castle nut isn't perfect but it is home made with a hacksaw (I broke my last Dremel cut off wheel yesterday). I'll look for options at some point (3mm).

Wow,man! Just got back from a vacation and only missed a couple of days and you’ve soared onwards with this project with speed and skill. It definitely inspires me to improve my modeling patience and skills.

Re: [D-Day] M32 ARV
Castellated nut is the correct American term, but most of us non engineer (or professor) types shorten it to castle. I hope it to be temporary, I need two more for the boom pivot ends.

Re: [D-Day] M32 ARV
That should teach you about taking vacations. Hope you had a great time!
Well I know you're not learning patience from me. I barely slept the first couple days...
As far as skills go, that comes with practice. I've said it many times, my skills are lightyears behind many on this forum. But I have loved fabrication/inventiveness since the 70's, and my brother was instrumental in encouraging me and teaching the craft.

Slight rework on the three points on the boom's bolts. I found a well used cut off disc in the bottom of the box.

Re: [D-Day] M32 ARV
I did say this is when the build would slow down...
.020 slats, .040 spacers (.5 & 1 mm).
Why did I make two? I knew they would be fragile and were going to spend a short time on the belt sander. I made two in case one of them didn't survive sanding.
