About this boat

This is my scratch build German WW2 field tractor, ongoing process but does drive and currently undergoing a gearbox rebuild as the old drill motors felt the pain on tight turns.. Also has new prototype body from the Version 3 which I think only a few were ever in filed use.
Has sound and lights. A combination of 3d printed parts and aluminium, all the drives shafts are with bearings along with the road wheels.. Still a way to go, but time ain't the issue I hope. Although nothing is a given ..

    Just a boost add, this is the drive system that I eventually came to.
    The belt drive was a problem at times that could have been fixed maybe by using larger toothed belts.

    That is a really nice field tractor that must be great fun to build and drive.

    It is also nice (for me) to see someone else who manages to cope with working in a very full workshop.

    Every time I want to do something, I have to move something else to make some space for it, and I have become quite adapt at walking around things and squeezing past things that are “in the way” as well as having to reach for things that are not as easy to access as they could be….etc.

    I admire those that have a spacious clean and tidy workshop, but if I had a larger workshop, it would probably get filled with more projects and machines etc, so I would not end up gaining any extra free space!

    Your field tractor has inspired me to do some more work on my r/c model tanks when I get back home next time.

    I work with 1/16 scale model tanks - mainly from the Cold War era, and my current project is a British Conquerer tank that I want to run alongside my Centurions.

    Changed transmission to 90° bevel gears as original belt idea was a total pain under pressure. Camo paint added and moving forwards with MR baked beans animatronic 1/6th crew, nowt fancy just a head nod and a guy drinking in the rear. Have the tarp cover to sew.
    And an odd one here but----- I now think I need a larger work space. I should have taken up 1/16th models
