Hello Gregory. sorry if i make you dissapointed, no laser involved. i cut the sheet i a cnc milling machine and ,yes everything on my tank is TIG welded. The maker will be mounted sideways and will be able to point dovn 12 degres and elevate 10 dgrees. and the feeding system may be a problem.The gun will be fired with a car lock actuator. The actuator will be mounted on the turret floor bacause the lack of space ,and pull the trigger with a thin cable from a bicycle gear change mechanism.

I have a feeling it's LASER (capitals due to LASER being an acronym, just a habit) cut, I've certainly never been able to make concave curves like that without a LASER. I can do cuts like that, but the corners of the concave ones are always rather round. Nice welding too, it's certainly better than mine! I assume that it's TIG welded. I think you'll have to mount most of your stuff sideways or something to fit it all in there. The biggest problem I foresee is loading rounds into the gun. -Gregory On Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 1:15 PM, Ben Holko <[email protected]> wrote: that's awesome Leif - fantastic detail! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Leif Westermark [[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, March 13, 2010 11:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [TANKS] cv9040 progress the turret is under construction. wide but wery low, only 100mm (4 inch) height inside. its going to be a challange to fit everything inside and make it work. http://i916.photobucket.com/albums/ad6/leffew63/S5002806.jpg http://i916.photobucket.com/albums/ad6/leffew63/S5002807.jpg http://i916.photobucket.com/albums/ad6/leffew63/S5002808.jpg http://i916.photobucket.com/albums/ad6/leffew63/S5002809.jpg Leif. -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
