Looks pretty good too me to

Phil,

Looks top notch to me and I would be interested in one .

It has been made to fit the kit bore so it's a tad undersized at 17mm, if you want one then confirm by pm, I'm only wanting to cover the cost of the printer time and filament cost and postage not my time or it would far to expensive lol. So it's basically a thank you to all the support you guys give me!

Thanks Phil.

I'm dealing with the requests guys, I have just ordered small boxes and jiffy bags from ebay so be patient each one has to be printed separately as the detail is so fine for pla, we just can't afford a cold layer interruption!

The periscopes came out well. The commander's sight looks like it printed nicely.

Vince

Yes with the printer set to 0.06 extra fine with no supports, as they cause marking, seems to do the trick!
The sight needs to be 20mm longer to reach the cupola periscope really, and the depth needs to be 23mm instead of 33mm to get it to sit back in the cupola tube. I tried snap scalping but it's a complicated shape so it went berserk! The top section needs the extra trunk making that 20mm longer.

I can redraw it if you want. Should not be a problem. I followed the dimensions you gave on the sketch. I can make it 20mm longer. I did not really understand about the depth (back to front). I made it 20 mm deep but I guess with those features at the back it became deeper. I can remove those features and it will get better. As it is those small features at the back won't be seen.

Vince

These are the features I can remove so that that face will be totally flat. As it is I don't think those features would have been visible.
Please advise.

Vince

Yes that will help vince, it's just getting things to fit, trial and error.

Just now finished this.
20mm longer.
Removed the details at the back to make it 20mm deep.

What do you think??

Vince

Looks good vince, I will give it a go

Good luck Phil.
As it is you are keeping me occupied. Me and my wife are hardly going out anymore and I just go to the workshop to check on the de-humidifier and the Tiger 1.

Vince

I think that is a good thing Vince the sight came out just fine although there's no contrast until it's painted so it's hard to see.
The new improved interior wiring, it's a bit closer to the real thing. I found that the periscopes just touched the previous electrical cabinets so I had to reconfigure , that means make new ones but I like the new look

Looking good Phil. Are you ever going to finish it?
