I've seen magnets used before but not such an engineered solution.

What he hasn't realised is that it will now only drive North and South :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hopefull the right technical solution Adrian. - Maybe the StuG is now running faster to north or south :lol: :shock:

This magnets are verry smal, so I did some more to suck firmly tight enough.

cheers

Thx Björn,
the sand blast is first to hold welding and paint work tight. Secound for the rough opting in the finishing. It is a test for me to look how it works in the end with the weathering.

Well the best thing you can do is buy the kit first, and start to build last, if you're a newbe.
On my Famo build I was the secound starter. Sometimes not so easy, but helpfull in this forum.
Like to see your build soon :D

Hi Björn,
its pretty easy.
Heat the steel with a hot flame, then solder the brass with solder.
You are correct with the MG bullet simulation ;)
