Pershing engine covers

[starktiger 1]

Hi chaps

have ground out the engine covers on the HL M26 and put new one on

anyone got any ideas on how to make the inside look better

[Matdragon]

wow looks excellent! really neatly cut out and hinged, great work.

not sure how you could make it look better. ... as the gears are right their

cheers,

Matt

Hi

Yes
used a hobby grinder, file and knife.

cut out the hatches out of the other top, ground out,drilled holes in the hinges all nice and neat.

cut out the space for the grills on the tank, ground off the hinges, drilled holes and cut down some track pins and slipped them in.

the track pins have the rough bit on one end so they stay in

Them Dremels are great for drilling and grinding

Holy cow, how long did that take you ? Aw dont show me this now im almost at the end of the Super Pershing. Thought I was almost done with the damned thing!

Hi Rocketman

It took about four hours

But with out the Dremel I think it would have taken a hell of a lot longer

I'm made up with the result, it looks good

but need ideas on how to hide the wires and gears.

No idea but that is one Uber pucker Mod

NOW you tell us that you used two upper hulls!
I'd started trying to cut under one of the hinges of mine and was wondering how the h£ll you'd done it!!

...but I'm still too tight to go out and buy another upper hull.

So I'll leave it as is!

But still the best mod this year in my opinion well done!
