Daylight !! As its England, could the wait be extended ?

After the warmest winter in history, summer is here, it's warmer in my garden than Ibiza...apparently?? Once I have electrics in there I'll add aerials to the roof, currently staring at sensors and led's for the battle system....

Unreal that its a 'print' !
nice day out mate, "The Chief" looks great in the sun covered in dust.

One hidden sensor apple. I took the plunge and glued it all together without testing it, I will find out at some point whether that was a decision I will regret...

Well today simply vanished without a trace, no idea where the time went. The Chieftain now has an IBU2, some really nice sounds that actually sound like a Chieftain, the battle system all works, and all of the wiring is complete. Everything functions as it should, elevation, turret rotation and servo recoil, complete with muzzle flash. Custom battery pack made and installed as well. I just need to fit an emitter and that will be that, all finished at long ****** last!

Video will follow in due course.

Good morning, W.W.,
Amazing how the time flies when you're having fun. ;o) Looking forward to the video to see your hard work in motion!

IR emitter not yet fitted but that's a 2 minute job.

Pics of internals, plus a video. All done!

W.W.
Beautiful work! That will put a proper fright into those pesky North Koreans. ;o)
