• Pardon the dust while the boys rebuild the site.

    The board will be in a state of disarray as I get things sorted out, for a little while at least.

    The new incarnation is using Xenforo as the system software. It is much like what we are used to, with a few differences. I will see about making a FAQ to help point out the differences for the members.

     

    One IMPORTANT difference for all of us old timers is that the 'mail' system is replaced with what are called 'conversations'/

    There is no 'Inbox' or 'Out box' or 'Sent' folders anymore.

    Think of Conversations as private 'threads' or topics that don't exist in a forum, that you start with another member. NOTE: Conversations can include more than one member if you or someone else in the conversaion, likes.
    Takes a little getting used to but I am sure you all can get a hang of it.

     

    Only a slightly modified default default Xenforo style is available for now. Once the new SAG style is ready it will be available.

    All existing users should be able to login with their usernames and passwords once the site goes up.

     

    If anyone has difficulties logging in please contact me at sixthvanguard@gmail.com.

     

    Thank you for your support and patience. I know it has been a loooong road.

    Jack, A while back I purchased a couple of your German food containers. I really liked them. Didn't you also make USA food containers? Bob

    Thanks a lot for all the kind words. The gun sight will probably be the last piece I mess with. Will have to wait for some warmer weather to paint it. I paint my stuff in the garage, but the weather is so cold that I have to keep all the doors closed and my wife can't stand the fumes...

    A few more shots. I cut off the large nut that was molded into the trailing arm. It was out of place. I also added the rivets. Close up of the carrying strap hooks.

    I cut off the piece that attaches the traverse arm to the carriage so I could straighten it out. I added a little screw to this piece to make it a little mor realistic (beside that, the pieces kept falling apart).

    Reese, I sent a conversation to you. You mentioned a default setting that is set to OFF for conversations. I'm assuming mine is OFF. How can I see this and change it (if necessary)? Thanks, Bob

    PM Message

    OK guys. I'm lost. I attempted to have a conversation with another member, but I keep getting a response that says, "You can't have a conversation with this member" (or something to that effect). Am I doing something wrong? Please help. Thanks, Bob

    Updates on the base. The two gray levers in the kit are for locking the trailing arms in place. The kit has them too far forward. I had already glued them in place, so I had to cut them off and place them further back. The two white pieces up front would be for locking the lower front shield...

    Thanks guys. A few more shots of some minor details. I added the box strap for this part. I cut the strap off one of the sight boxes for an MG 42 sight. I beveled this part for the lower shield. This makes it easier to lock and open it. I inserted a piece here to reduce the diameter of...

    More work. I sanded off the molded nut things that were on the sides and added the parts that should be there. Added the recoil gauge and the travel lock for the gun carriage. I also grounded a lot off the outer edge of the gunner's shield. It was way too thick.

    3D printed RC Hetzer

    Will you be offering them without all the internal mechanics? I would like to have a Hetzer just for display purposes. Bob

    Thanks for the info. Bad news indeed. I was just getting a pretty good-sized order ready for them. Although I haven't yet experienced any of the above issues in the past. I am assuming this is something that has just recently started in January? Bob

    I also made the cleaning rods and holders and the strap hooks.

    The trailing arm lock is obviously not correct. Photos of the lock are hard to come by and understand how it works. I came across several photos and a video and this is what I came up with. It also actually works. Not 100% accurate, but better than the kit.

    Did my best at adding the rivets to the trailing arm spades.

    As I went along with this, I noticed mistakes that I made so some of the early photos don't actually match the finished build. These mistakes and corrections will be apparent when I post the finished build.

    This is the work I did on the base. I added the plunger that holds up the lower shield when being transported Added the handles that lock the suspension arms in place. On the original kit, the suspension arms are raised. I cut them and made them level with the gun. I added the...

    Hopefully, these are bigger. In this photo, you can see that I carved out the opening so that the round can be seated flush. This way, the breach block can open and close without catching on the round.
