Juggernut Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 Thanks Kevin...This build is going to be the end of me...it's taking for ever. I'll have to build snap-tite kits for a year just to recover from the AMS. Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josebagasteiz Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I haven't found many pictures of the Panther's instrument panel either, so it's a little left to free interpretation. As for photos, to increase the depth of field (area in focus in front of and behind the subject of the photo) there are different methods. On a smartphone it is better to take the photo with the main wide-angle camera and then crop the image, you will lose resolution but to publish on the internet it will be enough. But if you take the photo with a reflex camera or another in which you can choose the shooting mode, do it in MANUAL mode. Close the diaphragm, the more you close it, the greater the depth of field will be. To compensate for light loss you will need to lengthen the exposure time and may need to hold the camera with a tripod. I hope it helps.

Juggernut Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) Thanks Jose, I appreciate the tips. I do use a digital SLR camera (Nikon D3400 with a 58mm lens) so I'll try manual mode and see what I get. Also, is your name Joseba or just Jose? I worked with a guy at CAF USA who came from Spain and his name was Joseba...just wondering so I can call you by your correct name.

Uso una cámara SLR digital (Nikon D3400 con lente de 58 mm), así que probaré el modo manual y veré qué obtengo. If you have to lengthen the exposure time a lot, even if you hold the camera with a tripod, the photo may come out blurred just by pressing the shutter button. To avoid that, shoot with a delayed shot. Juggernut and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.H.71 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Hi Juggernut, for headphone set check SOL MODELS MM341. The set provides 5 head phones and throat mics. Alternatively Aber 16011 provides German tank crew equipment including parts to create / detail two headphones and throat mics.

[…] Hi Juggernut I’d also suggest to use a tripod, as manual adjustment of aperture setting to more f11 will result in accordingly long exposure time (possibly 1-3 sec.). So delayed shot as recommended by José and good lighting are mandatory to get some nice pics. best regards Nils Juggernut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trabajé con un chico en CAF USA que vino de España y se llamaba Joseba... solo me preguntaba para poder llamarte por tu nombre correcto. The world is a handkerchief!! I have worked a lot with CAF BEASAIN, the headquarters of this company in Beasain, Basque Country. I have supplied them with different parts and spare parts for the railway cars and locomotives that they build. What a coincidence!! Jose and Joseba is the same. José is in Spanish and Joseba is in Euskera. These two languages are spoken in the Basque Country. So it's okay to address me both ways, don't worry about it.

Regards Nils Thanks for the reference, I'll definitely check these out. I just ordered a set of these from Korea. I MUCH prefer resin/3D printed parts to photo-etch so the choice was easy. Now I need to find buckles for the radio wire bundle straps...Aber may be a good source for those....I'll have to do some research. I still need to engineer those funky pannier ammo rack clasps. I may have to design them in Fusion360 and then 3D print them. Edited February 22, 2022 by Juggernut N.H.71 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try what both of you suggest the next time I've got the camera out. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked with several people at CAF USA that came from Spain and I became good friends with several of them. One, though I cannot remember his name now (it's been several years), invited me to visit him on holiday. He is from Basque Country. He was telling me about a holiday festival there that involves sausages and from what I remember, beer. I hope I'm remembering it correctly. He sent me photographs of his home under construction but I cannot remember which town he lives in. We were all electricans at the time.

Uncarina Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Another trick to minimize blurring in addition to a tripod is to connect a remote focus and trigger button like this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/765671-REG/Vello_RS_N1II_Wired_Remote_for.html Cheers, Tom LSP_Matt, Juggernut, josebagasteiz and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juggernut Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 Note to self: Add the handlever for cooling water control (direct translation from German) to the driver's side transmission mount bracket. Jose added it but I've overlooked it (until now). josebagasteiz, LSP_Ray, LSP_K2 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
