Alexander and Tara doing fine. 5 weeks old now and growing. Alex came out to the garden this evening in his black baby gro to see the tiger running. He enjoyed it.

A while back I mentioned poor smoke levels from the smoker. This is not one of the new versions. I drilled a few holes in the smoker top and smoke levels much better.

If I have 2 smoker units can I connect one to each motor and run 2 smokers.

John,
Congratulations on your new additions! We almost have the same birthday, mine is July 20. Fantastic looking shop and tank room. Love the PZ 4 prints on the wall. I'm impressed you get time to even work on tanks!
Best regards,
Bob

The prints were a present from Steve Lewington. 1:6 scale drawings. I have to make time for tank work for my own sanity. Nice to have a retreat spot where I can hide.

New super detailed muzzle brake courtesy of Simon Manning. He did such a beautiful job it was a shame to paint it.

Is it possible to increase volume on a particular sound on the benedini sound card. The main gun sound on my card is not very impressive.

Hi John,

Not to my knowledge, the volume and tone controls on the TBS5 acts for all sounds as does the volume control on the Armortek amplifier module.

I had that discussion with Thomas Benedini a couple years ago and he confirms that it's downright impossible, but I can't help thinking that with two sound cards and a mixer... He makes a simpler card with fewer sounds. Maybe that could be used for the main gun?

Cheers,

My mg sounds are great but engine drowns out sound of gun. Electronics are a big weakness for me. I hope somebody comes up with a solution some time. I was thinking it might be just a problem with my card.
