Hello Martin,

nice work, but is it safe, the grenades between the hot exhuast pipes

Hello Christian,

i think if the bucket is full of water it is ok.
oh but where is the water? there are holes in the bucket - grrrrrrr

[Martin Hofmann]

Hello All,

after the first tests i think there have to be an update for the barrel movement.
After some crazy drawings by hand and computer i build new parts.
The result of this you can see on the last and next photos.
it is absolut tight and no tremble on the barrel, because there are only fixed points.

[Martin Hofmann]

here are the mounted parts in the tiger.............
and also some latest photos of the tiger

Detail is fantastic, you are an Artist Sir.

Hello Graham,

thank you for the compliments, i am only a mechanical engineer no artist !!

[Christoffer Ahlfors]

That explains a thing or two...

I am impressed by the elevation mechanism - all the more so if it is solid and stable!
Good job!

Cheers,
