I really like it. Have you thought about making a mould and go into mass production for this tank?

I make masters for Die Waffenkammer so I'll probably send it to him for casting eventually

I appear to have lost most of my finger tips to abrasion...

I've remade the gun as it was a bit droopy...And I still hate making muzzle brakes...

I'm hoping to get some time this week to get the tracks started.

Turret looks real nice Rich. That muzzle break looks a beast though - I built JTFM's SU152 and struggled with that muzzle break as well. May I suggest turning a piece of styrene in a cordless drill.

Cool!

I've started on it but I suspect it'll take a few goes! I might end up laser cutting a few bits.

That ISU-152 muzzle brake looks like "fun"

I'm wondering if I use a hacksaw blade against a styrene tube in a drill will work.

That sounds like a good way to lose a finger, but it might work. If you have access to a lathe or a lathe like setup, where the styrene tube is secured at both ends, that might make things a bit safer.

*Edit* Given the theme its actually the perfect way to proceed :p */edit*

Printer resolution isnt good enough but I might try anyway.

Rich H · « **Reply #84 on:** February 05, 2018, 12:31:49 PM »

Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator.
