Some more general views of the hull and drive train assembled. I put the electronics inside and ran some tests. It was working well, but was too crumbly inside. So I redone the wiring and designed enclosures for the DasMikro and OpenPanze board. Time to focus on the turret and design elevation and recoil for the gun.

And of course, I had an inspector visit to assess my work.

Hmmm... he is looking quite serious
