Thanks, guys.
Lot of you offering help with STL and PDF files.
Actually, i have all STLs and PDFs, but they are only exported versions of real 3D model.
That model is fully editable, with a lot of layers and relationships.Big assemblies.
Same for the assembly guides.
For sure, i have this STLs, but i have lost access to the "parent" model.
This model is much more valuable, as it can be changed, edited or exported in many formats and versions.

Anyway, recovery lab can restore my drive with 93% chance of success, but it will cost all my savings.
It will hurt, but i have to do this.Need that files back.
I can get some another money later.


GOOD NEWS - Cromwell prototype is fully assembled.
Most important thing - it can run in exteriors.Rides well.

Going to make some videos.
Have a lot of pictures for now.
There is 154 pictures in this google album:

Some of them are attached here.

That's perfection, Tomas! Couldn't ask for anything more.

Tomas, excellent!

Excellent work. That looks great

Great work indeed, one fine model.

Hello my friend..
Congratulations on the project...very well done.
Unique 1/16 scale project...

Terrific results with the prototype, Tomáš! Everything looks terrific, it's something to be proud of for sure.

Sorry to hear about the hard drive issues, I've lost a lot of work in a previous hobby to a Seagate drive failing too. Have you had any luck with the recovery?

Seagate! Me too. Seems to be a theme here, one to avoid?

Thank you, guys.

Yes, please.Avoid Seagate like a plague.Especially Rosewood family.They are very thin (9mm) and they are designed to be destroyed.
Do not place this sh*t in any portable PC.They are extremely fragile.
My HDD is still in recovery.Waiting for the results.

Have good news about Cromwell.
Assembly guide is finished and ready.Going to prepare texts for the interpreter.
Both guides will be translated by professional, same like for the Hetzer.
Hetzers assembly guide was big, but this one is really monstrous.
It contains 297 pages (one page - one step).
Whole kit is much bigger like Hetzer kit.
I didn't know how big it was until I did the assembly guide.

Full kit contains 600 printed parts (360 parts + 240 tracks) and 850 pieces of various hardware.
I was pretty surprised by this numbers.

Going to prepare final STL files today (i hope), waiting for that translation.

Wonderful kit. But after some bad experience with PLA model which melted in this year's 30+ deg sun, I would prefer PETG ot even ABS.
