my new project. It will be my 3th Scratch Tank. Now, i want to build an Crusader.
Thats what i want to do



For an Basis, i use some parts from http://www.asiatam.de

- Suspension Parts Panther



- used Rims and Tires from an T34
- used Panzer IV wheels ( rear )
- used Panzer III Chains ( will modified this later )
- new Asiatam 3:1 Gearboxes ( very good and chepa too )
The rest i will build by myself



Thats what i was doing yesterday





The body i build out of 2mm Polysterol



So it looks like later when its done, i just put the parts in to see how it looks like. i hope it will work great, the chance is very good till now



i cut a lot of brass tubes 5 and 6mm



i pressed the tubes together



the tubes are the new bearings (?) for the rims





Now, when i was buildt in the complet suspension i got the right heigt from the sprocketwheels. I buildt way to high in this, so i correct this



As basic i glow some PS-Sheeds together and fill it up with Resin. Thats really strong, now.



For safity i was soldering on the top of the brass and glow PS behind the spring, now it can´t Fall out :haha:



Than i was building the same suspension system, like the other 4 axles to the first axles, but with different degrades ( sorry, my english is very bad )

I closed the drilled hole for th original T34 Part idle wheel



Out of brass i build an own adjustable one ( don´t know the name for that thing, we call it Kettenspanner )



Kettenspanner from top



close to completted Suspension



Next days i will build in electrical for Testdrive 8|
