HERMANS 'GERMAN SHERMAN' PZIV F2 'B11'

[HERMAN BIX]

Ive been to the washer shop. Will get a bit of a look at it once the crowd has gone to bed.

[HERMAN BIX]

Panel washers.
1/2" OD X 1/8th ID.

Fitted behind each arm.
Also, reduced the raised spigot from the pivot hub so the retaining bolt can go further in.
This allows slop in the arms that lets the wheels find their own centre line, and still binds the spacing washer and arm assembly tight on the hull.

Test ran the tracks un loaded and this seems to have solved it.
Now on with the rest.

[HERMAN BIX]

More expletives than I can confer here that's for sure !'
Now my poor old computer that I should have retired is forcing me to do so.
I have phone view access only until I sort out updating.

I have pictures to load but will have to wait until the new magic box arrives, or the nerds fix mine.
It's got the pattern on it, which is ok but not exactly how I wanted it, a wash of Africa Korps brown, and some of the details fitted.
Tracks on the way .

You could install tapatalk on your phone and load them from the phone?

Look forward to seeing your progress.

[HERMAN BIX]

Tracks held up at postal depot.should get them today in time for the weekend I hope.

I fitted and blended the last of the detail parts, so it's fairly well done.
Once the tracks arrive, I can paint them and the hill sections of spare track.
Then a light dusting of buff over the lower hull & rear should all she wrote.

I also made a bridge for the club day, one big enough to drive my Zu Fuss panther over !
Just a quick job, took about 6 hours all up.
Came out pretty good, sorry no pics as yet, that could be a while off.

[HERMAN BIX]

News flash, still up charging batteries !
That's what I get for taking 8 tanks with me !
And a bridge

[PainlessWolf]

Good morning,
It'll be worth it when you're doing the thing that makes all the hard ( and fun ) work worthwhile, driving them! ( across the bridge ) Enjoy, Doc. ;o)
regards,
Painless

[HERMAN BIX]

Yeah it will be. Had a massive rough night with the youngest so am just about two hours late getting there. Oh well, better late than stuck home with full batteries and a tired cranky wife & child

[HERMAN BIX]

What a strange day that turned out to be.
Went late.
Left with 7 tanks
Returned with 9 !!

Made an arrangement to have a tank crew painted last time out, bought them along in case.
Checked in with the guy that was going to paint them .
Still on , BUT!!
" I have this PZ IV that I need some stuff doing on"!!
So, I called my PZ IV therapist and Mr Jack Daniels agreed that I could cope with doing mods to another PZ IV !

This guy is THE best deal maker I've run across in a long time !
I'm sure he could see that I was a bit disturbed to be doing another PZ so soon , so, he calls me over to the boot of his car( I've done that deal loads of times!!) and says " you want this?"
Nah, not ready for another King tiger yet.
" oh that's just the box, it's. Mattoro Jagdtiger"!!!!
Just then there was a beam light and the sound of harps

So, I took on a part build as payment for painting a tank crew,
Sold my long lost Asiatam night fighting gear for a Panther which then diverted those funds against the Jagdtiger that I owe only $50 on now !!

Here I was moaning to the Mes about no more projects to build for a while and now I've got them out the Hoo-haa

[PainlessWolf]

Herman,
Good evening, the Club visits are paying off in more work ( fun ) and tanks!
regards,
Painless
