RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Ha ha!.....I know the feeling, I have been busy sorting out the spare bedroom, and making room for me to work on the tank!....on a sad note, I took the panther for a ride in the snow, and then noticed I lost a hub off one of the rear idlers.....over the last couple of days it has rained, and melted everything....and I found the hub!...sad I know, but it was what I wanted for xmas!

Have a nice new year everyone..

Looking forward to your pics, I am considering a set of Schurzen panels from CHRIS3. But even his set requires some planing as to where and how to mount the brackets. Happy new year NIC,

Sax

Evening... Here is a close up of the schurtzen, I took the photos just now (artificial light), so they are not that good





Here is the bit of paper that came with the profiline shurtzen....as you can see, there is no measurements for fixing to the tank, I just held them next to it and marked with a pencil, it is not perfect, but I dont want it perfect, I like it a bit rough and ready, it stops it from becoming something more perfect than the real thing


From the back edge of the front mud guard, in millimeters, its 15, 58, 132, 205, 279 and the last one is 322mm, remember, these are my measurements that I have used

I hope this helps, if not just ask away, and I will try and explain myself a bit more!....it makes sense in my head, but writing it down for others is quite hard sometimes

Hi Nic, the pictures and information is very helpful. Actually exactly what I needed, thanks for going to the trouble for me this is a big help.

cheers Sax

Hi...been a while since I have done anything...still have not!...work is running me ragged

Anyway, got back tonight from working away, and the wecohe infra red kit I ordered before xmas has arrived...god, the bits are tiny! Will post some pics tomorrow

Nic

Ps..lots of amazing builds on here now...the standards are quite high...makes it hard for us newbies...but good to see that the site is growing

Could not wait......so here is a pic, with bad light, of the bits.....



This will be a long build.....will be spending a lot of months away.....in far off countries....so coming back to this is theraputic...

managed to cut off part of the pic....photobucket is being a pain!

yes those parts are small , the sets i had for my kt are tiny too , just watch out for the carpet monster, it loves tiny photoetched brass , cant wait to see this built
regards, ice

Did some work today....built the infra red sight, 16 pieces in this! Lots of filling, as the bronze coloured bits are attached to their spurs



Here is part of the base plate that mounts the equipment....with my thumb to show you the size



Nic

Hi again.........

Stuck some more bits on, loads to go, but it is starting to take shape

WOw..your thumb is HUGE....

that is some GREAT detail work!!!
