hi Nick well done mate . Will look forward to the footage . How did you end up sealing the bottom and top leaving access to the internals . My ones on hold as waiting on the wheels. Not a prob tho as Im working on my Hetzer suspension at the mo and have started my early HL Jagdpanther.

Good on you Nick! I'm glad she floats and has steerage way. I also am waiting for the multi-media presentation of your build. I am waiting for wheels also Andy. I have decided to finish out my LVT builds with an LVTP 5 from the Viet Nam era and gathering parts before I start the build. It looks like a shoebox on tracks.

Ok standby for water based footage !
meanwhile, She's nearly done now the mechanics are as sound as they are going to get. So just some cosmetic work to complete.

Andy sorry I didnt answer your question. Thus far I havnt sealled the top to the bottom but I think for practicality and integrity, Im just going to use 6 x small brass screws through the top hull..Sure it will be a pain to change the battery but Im going to make a silicon rubber seal for the top using either the stuff I use for casting or even off the shelf bathroom caulk,, standby for that one.

Hi once the wheels come from Col . and I can get away from the Hetzer I will have to get back onto my one . How did you seal the top / bottom and leave access to the internals thats waterproof.

Thanks Andy

Hello there Nick. I enjoyed the film, but I had to stand at attention during the whole thing! Great build, and your detail is spot on also.
