Hi there,
Today I started with the milling of the first parts of a new Panzer IV tank of aluminum.

Milling your own parts... impressed!
Are you going to be welding the parts together?

hi Mk1,
No, I stick my pans. Since welding is better than when you can.

With the first Panzer IV tank, it also goes further.
The parts I have now trimmed, sanded and degreased.

So I could glue them even today.

Now they must first remain lying to harden before continuing.

This time I have dealt with the aluminum poles that accommodate the chassis mounts.
I had to cut to length every 2 aluminum square rods and Initial milling on one side for the two pans.

After I trimmed the edges and removed the bars from the lubricant I could stick to the pans. These are really stable by now.

After I wait a little bit longer because of the construction at the Panzer IV until I plastered, I would not know that they go right back broken, today was his turn.

Then I was able to bend the rear, lower rear panel fits and stick to the pans.

Today I build the connections of the chain tensioner on the pans.
I will need first two brass pieces that I saw myself with my band saw from a brass rod.

To each of these two cubes I have to get two saddle for the first release they devour on the outer dimensions

As a support for the eccentric I turn 4 left 9mm brass tubes and makiere the dice for a central bore.

There I drill a 9mm hole in the cube which I then separate them with a thin blade in the middle.

Now I have to mill off all the edges to the center.

So that the chain tensioner is also really stable I solder the pipes and the Bassis hard.

After pickling, grinding and I can now stick the first couple of brackets with a tub. Through the brackets plus I put a straight rod 5mm to both align exactly on the sink.

Tomorrow I can then glue the brackets on the second well.

In small pieces I continue.
The rear end I can always stick, piece by piece, slowly but it grows.

For this, the second well has also received the supports for the chain tensioner.
