The gearboxes arrived from Forgebear (many thanks Dave and Julie - geat service as always ). I had to do some minor surgery to get them to fit but it looks like they will work.




Now to complete installation and do a test.

Finished printing the turret roof



Just need to print the top hatches
The level steps are quite obvious as I have printed large steps (0.2mm) to get this done quickly. It should be printed in 0.08mm layers to get a good surface but i'm prototyping and it would take too long, so have to rely on Mr Surfacer or other filler. It will look better with the applique sides on.

Finished the applique panels for the turret and printed the top hatches






The next step is completing the installation of the stug gearboxes and doing the testing

Alwyn

Before I got to the gearboxes I decided to do the raised platform on the rear of the upper hull.


Gearboxes will get done tomorrow!

Looking good.

Top job that man.

Thanks guys for the good words, much appreciated. And the work goes on.

just amazing

Drivers hatch complete and it was rather fiddly




Next are the side toolboxes.

First side toolbox completed. The design was fun, but not as much fun as threading the 0.8mm brass rod through the hinges without breaking them
