Evening All,
Last night I posted pictures of this little cover that I had made. After I had posted my update it started gnawing away at me and by this morning I had decide that it wasn't good enough. I mean, how can any respectable Panzer commander go in to battle knowing that the cover for his little knob is the wrong shape. Below, next to a picture of an original, is my next attempt, which I hope is less offensive. The other items that I made today were the wooden grips for the trigger handle. That's all for now folks. Jon

Indeed... if he had been building tanks in 1944, we might not have won the war!

Evening All, I had a little bit of time to play today so I made the handle that is used to rotate the turret by hand. Only a little job but another one off of the list. Jon

Evening All,
I had quite a productive weekend making lots of little items for the linkage from the remote trigger in the turret gearbox to the MG, so now you can see how it operates.

The other item was the cover that goes over the turret ring gear, well it's nearly finished but I was requested to make some biscuits by my dear wife and I know never to argue where the biscuit box is empty.
Until next time and thanks for looking. Jon

Your panzer making skills are equalled only by your sense of humour.
Speaking of which, before you get too far along with the project: isn't that a 20mm magazine off one of the Bizmark's guns ...?
