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.

Evening all,
Not much to report on the Panzer front, as I have been busy with other non military projects that I appear to have gained. As for the Panzer i have been removing the parts that i have previously made and under coating them ready for a top coat as and when. A quite interesting little project that i have finished is the rotary coupling that connects power and audio from the hull up into the turret. I had thought of using a cheap slip ring as sold on ebay and modifying it to suit but i don't think that it will be man enough, so i decided to knock something up myself. The rotary junction is bolted to the hull floor and attaches to the leg of the commanders seat, the cables then run inside of the seat support leg and into the turret. I thought that i had taken loads more pictures but it appears that i didn't. This is the rotor and the copper ring connectors, sorry if my descriptive terms are incorrect but i can't think what the individual components would be called.

The copper is 35mm plumbing tube pressed over nylon insulators with the relevant wires soldered in.
All the external connectors that i have used are clansman but i couldn't find a female socket, so i used a bulkhead fitting and turned up a two part housing that pushes together and sealed it all by covering it with heat shrink. The outer housing has a bearing top and bottom and an oil seal at the top to stop dirt getting in but i forgot to take a photo of the completed unit. The whole unit is housed in a fabricated steel enclosure that will be sealed with silicon on final assembly.
