I’m still working
on the s.I.G. 33 piece of field artillery. I’ve attached a couple of
pics to show the progress. The body is
nearly complete. The side rails are done and the front shield
recently went on. Just for fun, a new coat of paint was sprayed on
it. I have a set of mock-hydraulics to add, but need to wait until
the barrel assembly gets installed before putting it all
together. The second pic is
the rim and wheel assembly that I’m working on. I really liked the
raised and recessed look of these wheels, so I spend some considerable
time trying to reproduce that. The end result is a steel disk with
cutouts. The raised and recessed parts are made by splitting a piece
of steel pipe down the length of it. The center hub is a 4-inch
piece of steel pipe. I hope to have this all welded together and ground
clean by the end of this weekend. Following the
wheels, I’ll be ready for the electronics and will get to work on making
this thing move. As for controls, I’ve decided on the C6C
option. Paul |
