Re: Winter 23-24. And the wall came down
A bit more done tonight. Removed unwanted plastic and cleaned up the turret to allow the gun to move through its full movement.
I also did the same with the gun mantle.
The last bit of work was to start the mantle cover.
Looking at the pictures I might need to do it again.

What is the material used for the mantle cover?

Now this is a very lovely build, and some clever ideas. Well done. Looking forward to seeing it progress!

Re: Winter 23-24. And the wall came down
Agreed. This is all great stuff. I have an admitted fondness for NVA vehicles, so I'm quite interested to see the final result.

Ahh, now that's the easy bit. Dug in tank, mobile turret with static hull.

Re: Winter 23-24. And the wall came down
I’ll catch up now, because I may be piished later.
You have probably guessed right.
Wrong, it is from a parasol. We don’t need umbrellas up here in Scotland, due to our near 365 days of brilliant sunshine and Caribbean climate. We need to maintain our pasty complexions.HERMAN BIX wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 7:15 am Umbrella material. Hope the Mrs doesn't notice the hole you left Mr Rat !!
Thank you. I cannot take credit for plagiarism of others work. But I will.

Re: Winter 23-24. And the wall came down
Dang it! I just ordered an umbrella, I'll see if I can cancel that and order a parasol instead.

Re: Winter 23-24. And the wall came down
Umbrella, parasol, and (a US term) bumbershoot material: I need to remember that. Then, too, I will be interested to see the greater range of motion for the gun. Even the guns controlled by servos seem not to be able to lower into the gunlock or raise to full height. Good work!
