I knew a Guy down Brighton way once, Dave Brady, is it you, you must have your building mojo back, regards simon.

Hi David,

lots of fun with the build

It has been a pleasure to meet but as allways, the days are to short


cheers, Uwe

Hi,

Will do Uwe, nice to meet you and your family.

Simon,

I've been keeping things under control my end e.g working, paying bills, taking the family out, tyding the garden, shopping all of the above in no particular order when complete equal a few hours to mess with my models.

Cheers

I'm thinking of adding the holes to outside edges of the track as pictured below.

A jig for accurate drilling and some tests to identify how much tracks will be weakend will be required.

Looks like you might have to break them down again to drill those holes ?

Adrian.

Hi,

450 holes later, tracks have all been drilled...I'm pleased with the result.

hello dave,
remember it well, just the horns to do now!!!,

Not this time round Chris...I'm keen to get my elefant assembled fairly quickly

Cheers

Hi,

To anyone building a Ferdinand or Elefant I can recommend the books pictured below, as I'm building a elefant I was a little disappointed to find that the headlights had been removed when the tanks had been overhauled as the lights Steve Winstone supplies are a great detail to add, found this picture in Tank Power 406 that has a line drawing of a command Elefant with headlights..little more investigation required to hopefully uncover a real photo
