Nashorn build with all 3d printed parts - New project

[AlwynTurner]

Herman when doing a build you can never have too much reference material so please any further pics would be most appreciated. As to the kits, I am going to order a couple of chassis after christmas to make a start, there's too much of this festivity nonsense going on around me to get much done!

I don't want to do too much on the kits until I get the first one finished so I will know what mods to make for the servos etc.

Yes the festivity level has reached a fever pitch at my house and I have limited my production line too enjoying your progress

[AlwynTurner]

A busy but productive day. To make the ammo cupboards I needed an even smaller hinge than the last one so out with the CAD program and the printer:

The hinges were so small I had to use dressmaking pins to form the hinge.



and they folded nicely

A coat of paint and they look fine

and folded

Now I just have to design the shell trays for inside and the cupboards will be done.

That took less time than I expected as I managed the ammo shelf design in about an hour


Just another 7 to print

Quickly printed off another 3 shelves and assembled them (well when I say quickly it was about an hour and a half)



and loaded some shells



Just need to print another 4 shelves plus some shells to put on them
