great idea, clank towing , i love it , havent thought of paint yet , theres not many pics out there for reference

[[ICE]monkey]

after raiding my local model shop for plastic strip in various shapes and brass tube , ive started on the hoist support legs , i cut a small piece of i beam and shaped ,sanded and drilled untill it looked right ,the top piece is before, bottom one after


this was then glued into the brass tube



i also started to add the framework to the wooden box

[[ICE]monkey]

what do you think frank,

[[ICE]monkey]

started on the jib boom , the main strut is a piece of my sons knex kit, which still needs shaping and the cross strut is brass tube with rc plane quick links, this is fixed on the main strut by using a piece of bigger tube slid over the top ,and a bit of brass sheet wrapped around it

[[ICE]monkey]

just finished soldering the jib boom, after plenty of cursing and burnt fingers ive ended up with a fully operational boom






thanks for looking comments are welcome
regards, ice

top notch ice

really cool seeing all these bergpanzers coming about or is it a bad omen for the battling year ahead maybe "clank recovery " could be a viable venture are you guys selling shares yet?

[[ICE]monkey]
