Blimey Simon, I get up let cats out let cats back in and feed ,retire to smallest room with tablet start this one from the beginning, quick build my bottom ,mind I should have known better ,as always a master class even those of us not capable I'm sure find it fascinating, , you must have the patience of a zeppelin captain sailing into a head wind,I tend to lose it just box bashing ,please keep it coming, oh dear 30 plus minutes of elbows in knees seems to have caused pins and needles in both legs not the best place for this you could say I've been caught with my pants down Dave
".... turret ring shot deflector bar thingy ....."
It's the technical jargon that really confuses us....
This is going to be a great model when finished.
Mike.
Nice work Si- that Copper sheet looks very satisfying to work with, and I can see the benefit of the embossing tool now. One of my favourite things on this, oddly enough, is the perfect (interrupted) circle of turret-ring shot-deflectors you have achieved
Steven / Al - thanks both. Al,the circle isn't actually circular - the front ends of the bars over the cheek parts are pulled in towards the hull so it is more egg shaped
The copper sheet is nice stuff and will no doubt feature on future builds
added a few bits to the turret
track bump stops and track pin relocating device (just a big lump of steel that the pins smack against) added to the lower hull
Ye Gads!! Simon, where's the plastic?? I'm already exhausted just reading through all the scratchery...almost licked the screen too 'cos of the green stuff. Now doing the David Copperfield thingy...
