Well......................... My ship has come in, most of the way to the dock.....
Steve Reid over at Celticwerks came through in a BIG way, wait till you see the pic's. I created the track link masters and he cast them for me, DAM is all I can say. So, the fantastic news is I have my 1/25th scale Panzerjager Ferdinand tracks, BUT the type "B" road wheel master didn't cast worth a hoot, which means it's back to the drawing board for 6 #@#&&*^%#^%8 G-D wheels...........   |

Glad you're able to get back to working on this one PJ! As for uninsured motorists...I can understand your choice words for that type of situation. Wheels are looking good on this baby. |

So for those scoring at home...........................
The biggest obstacle to completion has been the GD tracks, (NO NOT the quality of casting, those are AMAZING) I'm talking about fitting them. With a 100 percent scratch build, there was no way to test fit them prior to actual fitting. It's my fault, my math was off, now getting them to fit is a real bug-a-boo. Yes don't cry for me Ferdinand, I choose this beast. BUT DANG..... all I can say is TRIPLE CHECK YOUR MATH

The bigger the scale, the more important the math accuracy, no question about that PJ! Looks like you're beating these into submission though, keep at it. |

Looking good. And Ohh so how I can relate to checking your math. Even when I design it in the computer there is usually is always and issue on the real parts. Just because the PC is accurate the rest of the world isn't. I always try to design in wiggle room. |

I can believe it. Being just a hair off on something that is replicated so many times, would soon add up to a sizable error.
