Hi everybody,

I finished the idler wheel from alluminium. I was very difficult work. I tried to copy the original wheel from a museum. Ther eare lot of negatives details but now it is ready :D . Now I started to find the way to cast it. It will be more difficult.

Have a nice day

Hello guys,

thank you for nice comments.

Finally I finished whole sprocket with all details. I chose the casting number of sprockets from PANZER III in Banska Bystrica museum. There is STUG III with nice details and it is perfect inspiration for me.
This sprocket have been my most complicated part and we will see about the progress for casting.

Have a nice day
Michal
