Hi Martin,

Your attention to detail is brilliant and I like the way you have reworked the elevation mechanism, I might copy it if time allows. the creates are a nice touch 8) , did you make the shells/grenades yourself?

Hello Christoffer,
hello Rolf,
hello Paul,

thank you very much for the warm words about the elevation mechanism.
Yes it takes a lot of time to manufact the parts after having the idea, but it is worth for waiting.

Paul: the grenades are buyed from a supplier in Germany.
