Work has continued slower than I usually progress on models. Ive been working on one step at a time rather than jump around. I just didnt feel like it, although I have been working on my a1 turret. What project that is to RC.
Anyway here is 3 leopard1 tanks worth of wheels that I turned on the lathe front and back to recess the flanged bearings into.
I have already hacked and drilled and tapped 3 sets of suspension arms so the next step is to assemble up 3 chassis. Then I need to make up my shock absorbers.
My design uses 3 sprung shock absorbers on each side, two rear one front so I will need to make 18 shocks up before I install all the wheels. I should have been working on them while I was waiting for more late at my friends as I had to get in and set up between his jobs, but I just didnt feel like starting another project.
