Slip Ring in HL Pershing
Finally made some early progress on the "smoking gun project" using my HL Pershing as a test bed ...( Replacing the Panzer IV) ...
The early phases of the project involved fitting an Asiatam recoil system in the Pershing( which was easier said than done ); and the installation of a 12 Wires 2 Amps Slip Ring for a 360 degrees turret rotation ....
The recoil still needs some fine tuning ; but the turret rotation is a blast ....
Here's some early results ....youtu.be/3e0tEpXPh0o

RE: Slip Ring in HL Pershing
Thanks Airbrusher ...
You may be interested to know that I'm ready to resume my work on a smoking gun ; using the Pershing as a test bed ....The roomier turret of the pershing will allow me to use the "smoke chamber" of a broken HL smoke unit ; compare to having to build one for the smaller turret of the panzer IV ....

Fitting an Asiatam Recoil Unit in the pershing ; while using the stock air-soft gun barrel was anything but easy ....
Surprisingly ; the installation of the slip ring was done smoothly ; without any bad surprises ...
I had installed a phone swivel in my Panzer IV last year , and I followed the same pattern for the Pershing ....
Although I'm not doing I.R. battle , all I need to install is the I.R. led and the Apple in the turret to be I.R.ready ....
Here's a bunch of self- explaining pics ....

RE: Slip Ring in HL Pershing
Thanks guys . I will post a thread on the recoil unit once I'm done fine tuning the system ....
It has been a process of trials an errors , and the only thing I had in my corner was the fact that I have an old Pershing tank that I keep for parts ...
It allowed me to be a bit bolder in this mod....
