Hello guys,

thank you, Bjorn and Robert for nice comments. Sorry for my late reaction but I had a long bussines trip.

I finnaly finished the adjustement holder. I used the brass plates in few lines. The worst procces was to desing of the prototype but it is too complicated with each next part too. I am satisfied with the result. Now I am finnishing new prototypes of eastketten tracks. I will see about the casting progress.
Have a nice day
Michal

I finnished the casting of some new parts for my double project. I hope all parts are ready and I could start of complete procces of chassis. Some details aren´t super but it is the nice basis for further finishing. I casted new track links with a cavity in the tooth. I hope it will be enought strong without any breaking. I would like to imitate the summary of track links from museum in Banska Bystrica in Slovakia. Stug III and Panzer IV have three type of links in the tracks. It is simulated the maintenance procces in the war.... everything was applicable and appropriate.
And finnaly I made new tyres CONTINENTAL with the right marking. Here are some photos:

Lubo thank you for nice comment. I try to focus on detail :D . :)

I finnaly finished all support rolls with new tyres and the side gearbox. I would like to imitate the real shape of it with all details. Unfortunately it won´t be more visible because of the sprockets but I have a good feeling :). I hope I will start with the finishing procces of chassis.

Have a nice day for everybody

Hello guys,

After long time I finished holders of mudguards. I used the brass plates 0,6mm and it seems strong enough. It was neccesary to solve the first holder because it has different sape of chassis plate. I changed the shape of mudguards from flat line to three broked line as original version. I hope it will some nice progress. I am sending few photos.

Hello guys,

Very slowly but I finnaly continue with details on mudguards. I prepared new towing hooks. Here is some details from new plate spring for an aerial holder and the wood aerial box. I prefered brass plates for preparing new mudguards boxes. it is still without clips.
I designed new holder for spare wheels from aluminium. I had a problem with the spliting of bracket feet. It isn´t regular.

Have a nice day for everybody
Michal
