Well Tom, I have to agree with your better half on this one. She has a point. So, I think you should pass it along, But, I want to be first in line. Non-working emoji here!

It's taken far to long but I've finally got all the metal swing arms, uprated springs and of course new wheel installed. Very pleased everything fits as it should and the alignment seems ok. I've been testing with a Clark tk60ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

The E90 lives! (Well rotation needs work but nearly there). Some tweaking was required, added a metal gear recoil servo which has given me a better throw, the recoil unit its self had to be flipped as it was catching the turret ring, which also meant changing the elevation pivot points and elevation servo position. However I think it's coming together now!

A rare treat these days! :crazy:

Been tinkering away, had to.grind away large parts of the turret floor, remove lifting hooks and tinker with the rotation unit. Finally the rotation is working as it should.

The penultimate piece of the E90 puzzle arrived last week, a set of skirts from Chris Ludwig. Whilst they say in development on the site, I asked Chris nicely and he sent me the set.

Because the E90 it's quite the same dimensions there's surgery on pretty much every horizontal piece to match where it's mounting points are. Took some cutting but one down 5 to go! They're not the neatest on the inside face but no one will see that. ImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Wow, that's looks like some work :D.
Will make the thing look even bigger. What I would fear though, grasping it in the wrong place and ripping off all this work when moving it.
