What can I say, I just love my postman.
He delivered these today.
Big thanks to Steve Winstone UK.

I did a new 3d drawing of the mg34 to my Tiger.
Will try and print it and see.

Robert

[Vince Cutajar]

That looks great.

Vince

[Robert Tanzer]

Thank you Vince
Your MG34 is also looking fantastic.

I want to try to use fiberoptics 3mm in the brasstube.
Dont know if it works, but I do not like to see a led bulb in front of the MG.

Have a nice day
Robert

Ps. these resin prints are only tests, not up to quality.

[Vince Cutajar]

Is fibre optics bright enough to make it visible in daylight?

Vince

I do not know Vince, but I got a idea in my head.
And it will not go away until I try it. For better or worse.
Looking for some very bright led in some good color.

Wish me luck.

Wish you luck with the fibre optic experiment. I believe Steve Winstone did the same at one time.

I did get some feeling for Brass work.
So I decided to make the new ones with the right length.
But I have to make some changes on some machines to be able to repeat folds in the brass skirts.
But is a enjoyable task.

Have a nice hobby time.

Small update.
I finally bend all 16 mudguards, and they are all the same.
Guess if I'm surprised. Yes I did it.
A friend should have eight of them. He also has an early Tiger with the wrong length of mudguards.

Have a nice weekend to you all.

I ordered and received my new springs for the track tension. The new ones are at 335N.
An update since the first ones I had in the Tiger.
Drive without me getting any track deflection, yet is it probably best to mention.

Video coming soon on the test drive.
Robert

[Robert Tanzer]

And here is the video with the test of the track tension.

[Vince Cutajar]

Love the sound file you are using.
At 2:40 there is a servo operating a set of gears. What's that for?

Vince

Thank you for the nice words Vince.
The sound file is original Benedini.
The servo is operating the volume control.
I dont know how to do it in another way. Would love to receive tips on this.
Robert

[Vince Cutajar]

Volume control. Nice and simple. Like it. At first I thought it was a rotary selector for changing the sound files.

Replayed the video another couple of times today also. Like the fact that you can get the engine revving sound without the model moving.
