Excellent! Another thing to talk over at Tank Fest, hopefully we will see it as work in progress?

I was at Flywheel/Classic Car Show at Bicester this Sunday, Lancaster, Spitfire and Hurricane plus Dakota. So awfully nice, concentrating on the awe full! There were other things there such as a Grant, a Stuart, a Sherman and just for interest, a Dingo! Also a Guy FAT with a very battered 'barn find...

This is from The Tank Museums files. It seems to bring together a number of ideas about how the facsine mounting worked and how was released.
I have posted this rather late in the evening but it may be useful for further ideas to be developed.

Hi Sam.
If you are able to screen shot top views of 131 then that would be very useful to have them for that illusive top view detail.
Thanks for posting the video. Steve

Bob, the tracks were machined from bar as a commission from an engineer in Boscombe, Dorset, no casting involved! They remain obstinately shiny despite being given a colour wash. Maybe the problem is that the Tank gets driven alot? Another issue is that the edges don't round off, so they are sharp w...

Well one Comet post deserves another! Mudguards have been entertaining me for a while. I thought the side plates had enough bolts, but the mudguards have involved a whole load more. DSC_0839b.jpg The front had new full width hinges and then remodelled arms, now with two sides. The forward part had t...

DSC_0843b.jpg The new Tiger with its annular Lazy Susan Bearing set me an example to follow it really does turn with ease. The bearing I made using a 'nylon' ring has suffered from the material expanding over time and so causing binding. It was a bit of a nightmare to maintain concentricity of all ...

I detailed as much before final assembly, and held off as much as possible before then to allow for things to be taken apart for things that were discovered that needed doing!

Peter To get the necessary public liability Insurance join either The UK Tank Club or The Southern Armour Group or contact Walker Midgley Insurance Brokers for stand alone insurance. Club membership will work out a little cheaper than insurance on its own. Given your location the UK Tank Club has mo...

Our email is on the blink I would have replyed sooner. Just to show that my sense of humour is up to speed. The Women members of the Tank Regiment can have on their berets, attached instead of a Hackle, a miniature version, namely a 'Fascinator' :twisted: Great to see the fascines appearing, I will ...

If any one is making them I would like a set too. The down side is it may well stop my tracks squeaking!

Yes, that's the way to do it. I was going to try and find a link to the posting where Chris and I talked about it, but thank you to Oliver, I am saved from doing so. I have to tidy the Garage and get on with working on my Comet mudguards instead! Steve PS The Bovington Amiens event is going to be a ...

I have been to the Bridge today and taken some photos, if any body wants copies please let me know and I can send you them. Fiona took some pictures of me taking pictures of the bridge.

I think that Chris Hall would endorse your suggestion!
