Hi after longer break!

I had no time for update. Lot of work, many details, pipes, wires, tubes, etc but small progress on photos. Today i show you three horizontal tubes which i added last time. Two upper were made from streched cotton swabs above fire. They have diameter about 0,3 mm. Their construction on photo.

From right side I put inside copper wire, from left plastic bar with rings also from cotton swabs but bigger diameter.

Hi!

Thank's all for watching and nice comments.

Time is ripe for armour. Ammo boxes first.

Machine guns have diffrent cradles, because they are displacemented. I made them according to photos.

When cradles were ready I touched cartridge case ejectors. The lack of good documentation and drawings is my main problem in this project. I took photos of my model from both sides, scaled them to model dimensions and they used me as drawings to create ejectors.

Thats impressive to say the less !!

I'd love to have a tutorial on how you did build tjose cradles, they are awsome ;)

So few words about cradles. I've got two photos of this area from both sides. I used them as a template. I cut both walls first. Next I glued about 0,5 mm width strips from 0,1 mm styrene sheet. I used thin Tamiya cement. Joining lines disappeared because this cement delicate dissolved plastic. I added rest parts next.
