Jon,
Never apologise for your updates, some of us await them eagerly! The longer the better. Not only is your work outstanding and detailed but it is a reminder for some of us to get on with our own vehicles even if we do not have your engineering skills. Keep up the good work.

thanks Mike it's nice to know that you enjoy the updates.

Evening All,

I want to get all the tools, boxes, etc that are attached to the track guards in place before I remove the upper hull, all of the tools are held in place by these clips,

An original and my version.

I had thought that they would all be the same and I would just have to make 8 identical clips but in true German fashion, nothings that simple. There are 7 different variations to make, some just bigger or small but others totally different so each one takes a bit of experimentation. They were all lined with felt or similar, so that has to taken into account and that will be riveted in place after they have had a coat of under coat.

That's all for tonight.

Jon

Evening All,

One thing that I never throw away is Oak, I can always find a use for it. The panzer needs a jacking block as part of it's tool kit and as I had some large off cuts left over from when I built our extension, out came the chain saw.

Most of the original blocks that I have seen have been made from several pieces joined together but I decided to make it out of one lump.

I decided to use a new fire extinguisher painted to recreate an original, my thinking is, if there is a fire it would be nice to know that i have the equipment to put it out rather than to look good.

The two other items that I have also have added are, the pinch bar and this enclosure that holds a box listed as an Zubehorkasten MG34, so far, i have been unable to find any information on the latter as it appears to be a specialised size to suit the Panzer ll.
