I think Armortek medals should be handed out here

Or an Armortek baseball cap.

This is what I sent Phil today as requested.

: Hydraulic reservoir

More done.

The bracket for the brake reservoir and the two pipe couplings on the hydraulic reservoir seem to have printed well. Phew!

I agree the detail is very fine!

Phil,

Thanks for the barrel insert, 10/10 fits like a glove and looks the part.

Well it was really down to Vince, I just printed them out! Glad you like it, the little boxes for shipping are a bit gay but that's all I could find on the net.

Keep building and keep posting.

Been working on the hydraulic tank and it's subunits, sounds good subunits, all the bits that have oil at pressure running through them!

If the front of the grill is positioned correctly, it should be cut at this level.

Drawings and photos should be OK. As your model of the gearbox is 1/35 scale do you think you can get clear photos of it? If yes, then I will need four photos of the four sides (one photo per side). Also, very important, a photo of the top of the gearbox.
We'll see how it goes from there.

Looking at your photos, I estimate that the slice of the gearbox will be around 10mm deep.

If you like, you could also create this small "crankcase" with an L-profile

Phil

Today I made a rough sketch of the body of the gearbox, the brackets (a bit shortened) and the exhaust box to have an idea of what I will be dealing with. I haven't done anything on the face of the gearbox which faces the engine.

: Without exhaust box

: Side view

Could you tell me the distance between the false bottom (where the slice of the gearbox will sit) and the ceiling of the engine deck so that I can figure out what sort of thickness of the slice I will be dealing with.
