My Panther

[Nic.H]

Ha ha!.....I know the feeling, I have been busy sorting out the spare bedroom, and making room for me to work on the tank!....on a sad note, I took the panther for a ride in the snow, and then noticed I lost a hub off one of the rear idlers.....over the last couple of days it has rained, and melted everything....and I found the hub!...sad I know, but it was what I wanted for xmas!

Nic

Have a nice new year everyone..

Looking forward to your pics, I am considering a set of Schurzen panels from CHRIS3. But even his set requires some planing as to where and how to mount the brackets. Happy new year NIC,

Evening... Here is a close up of the schurtzen, I took the photos just now (artificial light), so they are not that good





Here is the bit of paper that came with the profiline shurtzen....as you can see, there is no measurements for fixing to the tank, I just held them next to it and marked with a pencil, it is not perfect, but I dont want it perfect, I like it a bit rough and ready, it stops it from becoming something more perfect than the real thing


From the back edge of the front mud guard, in millimeters, its 15, 58, 132, 205, 279 and the last one is 322mm, remember, these are my measurements that I have used

I hope this helps, if not just ask away, and I will try and explain myself a bit more!....it makes sense in my head, but writing it down for others is quite hard sometimes

Hi...been a while since I have done anything...still have not!...work is running me ragged

Anyway, got back tonight from working away, and the wecohe infra red kit I ordered before xmas has arrived...god, the bits are tiny! Will post some pics tomorrow

Nic

Ps..lots of amazing builds on here now...the standards are quite high...makes it hard for us newbies...but good to see that the site is growing

[Nic.H]

Could not wait......so here is a pic, with bad light, of the bits.....



This will be a long build.....will be spending a lot of months away.....in far off countries....so coming back to this is theraputic...

managed to cut off part of the pic....photobucket is being a pain!

Did some work today....built the infra red sight, 16 pieces in this! Lots of filling, as the bronze coloured bits are attached to their spurs



Here is part of the base plate that mounts the equipment....with my thumb to show you the size
