Hi all. I am back. Advancing with the turret. Had a big problem understanding how to make the smoke  ...

Thanks!

Hello all

A small update. I finished a turret bustle rack. Had to be very careful, these are 1mm wide double layer pieces of paper. A sharp knife with comfortable handle is a real must.

I have to add, it took me a lot of time to connect all the parts, because of the size of the parts.

I also mounted two ammo boxes on the rear of the turret.

Slowly but steadily.....

Hello all
The turret is done. Finished the NSVT 12.7mm machine gun with mount and the main gun. It is quite a challenge to roll such long and such small diameter tubes. Remade at least three times ..
Than the turret swivel ring which gets inserted into hull. Had to decrease the ring's height, because it was getting bumped in the hull reinforcement. Beside that, no issue.

Hello all.
After a break, I continued, pretty slowly, with wheels.
The designer provided two options for wheels and tracks: one very simple, box-like with printed wheels and tracks, the other version with separate driving sprockets, bogies, front tensioner wheels and tracks made from strips with side walls.
.
The first option was too simple for me.
Second option was selected.
Each bogie is made from 8 parts, each driving sprocket is made from 5 parts and each front tensioner wheel is made from 4 parts.

Nothing too complicated, just need to be careful.

So, after a number of weekends, I finished with all the wheels.
Next step is to build the arms that will attach the bogies to the hull.

Yes, two design options can give producers more choices

Thanks for design!!

Hello all.
One more step - suspension of the bogies. Or a simulation of it. Very simplified. I guess it's OK for this scale
