lol.... hopefully... depends all on the tutoring^^

well i am off for now... i tune in later on...cheers mate!

Catch you later this day for me

back again and thirsty for education^^

So, you have learned of track shoes/vision blocks/Hatches/glacis plates and decks, exhausts and drop tanks for extra fuel. (as seen on the T-290 backside.) Sponsons too. What else do you wish to learn of?

well i have seen the pics in dimitrys thread ... the one with the inside shots of the transmissions and i have yet to master all these parts... the tracks are still something that need exploration as i think one day i would like to make a scratchbuilt attempt at an open track... so evry partz is visible...i know this might take long^^

Ah, like the more modern open tracks of today's tanks minus the side skirts

The wheels on the track and ground are the road wheels, the little ones supporting the tracks are the return rollers(The french tanks like the Char 1 used a set of slide guides) the wheels with the teethe is the drive or sprocket wheel, and the other large wheel is called an idler wheel,(usually loosened up to ease tension on the tracks for maintenance)

The road wheels are also usually attached to torsion bars and shock absorbers or in the old days springs.

Vik is doing cardboard tank springs now? Awesome!

is your connection on and off? you seem to be often disconnected...

and thanks for the help here... one day i have to find me a good book on tankdesign... but so long you are my wikipedia of tanks^^

I am multi-tasking like a mad man

No worries, I have plenty of that knowledge in my head as a kid making all manner of tank models and reading books on tanks.

multi tasking.... aha....!

soso...^^

Yeah, skype, classes, and threads

ohoh... even classes... for your job? ok... i think we then better go soft on you until you have done your learning^^

School classes online, and there will be job training as well over the phone, speaking of which, i need to go buy one now.,

lol... are we talking about buying a phone?^^ i thought everyone has one...^^ or you skype your way through the telephone lines usually?

Landline for my new job. And I boat a oddball vehicle, an Ark of the Necrons!

oh i had thought you had abandoned the necrons^^

Landline ...ah ok... thought you had that already given your online ...but is that working differently in the U.S. than here? without a landline access you won´t get internet too in germany... well actually that´s not true as i am contemplating to move our telephonbe and net connection to a connection via cable (as in cable TV)...

I have a cable band phone modem now, and that will allow the phone to work with the headset I will work with to take calls.

Oh, I bought the "boat" and see how i can make it work as Ghost and Doom Ark. Have also the finecast Imotekh mini, they gave him a 25mm base, but his stance demands a more boss like 40mm base.

understood! (concerning the phone)

the boat as you state it is the bark?
sadly the new finecasts stuff of the necrons don´t ring my bell..somehow they look to wanted to be cool but not actually cool...for my taste i see too much SM referrence on them... dunno how to explain that...

My new boat! Now the Dark Eldar are no longer the only flying boat owners!

confusing built... you can either have these ribs upwards facing or downwards... that made me confuse the models^^ or model for that matter^^

upwards is better imho

The upwards is for the troop transport, When the ribs are down, the cannon is up, and is quite nasty!@

is it moveable? i mean ingame??? also the orange black scheme from your buddy sounds nice...could work quite well on the footsloggers... how it will look on the bark i am totally unknown...but i guess you show us the way^^

The bark I got is MINE! it will have that gold/green blend I showed in my own Necrons thread.

that i know... it is yours no one ants to take it from you^^ sheesh^^

no i was generally speaking of the scheme of your buddy to be used on vehicles...

your scheme will look quite awsome on the bark...




specially these weapons done in broce would look quite impressive on the bark i gather...

Oh yeah, (oh that was in case ant of my friends out there were lurking, and seeing the mention of the bark, can't allow them the wrong ideas! )

The Gauss guns will get that color as well as all of the guns in my army, the cannon is another matter, it has been magnetized already, I have to use sheet stock to magnetize the ribs wmaking one back section most fixed. This way i can make the boat or the self propelled gun of doom!

i think i hold my breath for the first pics... will be better to comment on that then^^

I will have them once I work on and finish the ribs. It even comes with damaged warriors to add onto the boat! legs missing, hacked metal skulls. But the driver and actual pilot/engines section is finished. Doomsday cannon is 2/3 done

Soon I will have more pics now that my station as it is has been securely nestled in in it's new spot.

ah yeah... what for did you have to move anyway? is it because of your desktop job... so that your roomy can sleep better?
