We ought to run a sweepstake on the percentage of 50 kits which have 'Fury' painted on the barrel...

Mine wont

Adrian.

Since I'm in Pittsburgh (home to Anthrocon https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthrocon) so I'm painting "Furry" on mine...

I’ve made all the access hatches using my 3D printer. I like the extra realism of these ad-on pieces to the Armortek kitsA2C8B0EA-A19D-41CB-9AFF-E7F2683D88E9.jpeg

Very nicely done! You never know when your tank destroyer is going to flip over... Can't be too safe

No way to operate any MG if mounted on any of them.

Plus there was the MG-42 mounted on the rear deck

So I reckon it is in same diameter as the CP0152, ie, 12 cm outer diameter, and 6cm in inner one. Only different in length. I have bought a 12cm aluminium rod, for adding of these 4 parts. Regards, Lerh Chang Oh I see it now! In a couple of the photos I can see the 3 other edge mounted lugs... huh....

Hi Don where are you sourcing the cannon from, or are you going to make one? 8) Phil, I have two 20mm AT Rifles (Lahti L-39 and Southern s18-1000) so I was considering using the same 20x138mm Solothurn ammo that they both use. I have a spare barrel for the Lahti that I could use... BUT... That's A ...

That is indeed a .55 Boys AT Rifle. My buddy has one converted to .50 BMG. It's a hoot to shoot, but I like big guns.

Not much to show this week, worked on Idler hubs a bit, worked on hubcaps a bit. Should have an update in a few days to show the hubcaps with all their accoutrements. Got my battery in, Relion RB24V20 (https://relionbattery.com/products/lithium/rb24v20) and tested the motors to make sure they spin a...

Nice a little 3D printed plug. Clever solution!

Thanks! I have my moments!

Don, The battery you looked at does have a 60A max charge rate but you might want to check under what conditions (momentary and for how long). The protection specs looks like an effective BMS, which is vital. I'm a bit surprised by the figures for life cycle. At 1000, this seems low. My Tracer pack...

On another front, I got my hex head caps from shapeways and they seem to be working really well. These are to dress up the 3mm Cap Head bolts in the engine and front decks. They allow you to use the standard Armortek hardware and have a hex head look to the bolts. If you'd like to use them they can ...

Armortek noob and electronics idiot-savant without the savant part here... Would you say something like this: https://www.batteryspace.com/custom-lifepo4-prismatic-battery-24v-20-ah-with-60a-pcm.aspx Meet the requirements you have discussed? What specifically should I ask or look for in a LifePo4 pa...

Its got legs! Dad and I got the suspension in yesterday.

We also modded the bushings to accept an o-ring to keep out fine desert dust. In addition all seams of the hull have been sealed with RTV.

Time to get rolling!

Got the basecoat on everything lower hull wise. Tried my hand at some airbrush highlights. This was not my first attempt... But MAYBE starting to get the hang of it. Barely.

A little texture... Apparently I'm pretty good at painting crappy

Rough layout...
