Brilliant work Paul i was missing your updates. You are creating models within the model, what excellent engineering and workmanship, i wish i could be so neat in my work, keep it up!!

Thanks Brian for your kind comments,

Yes I have to admit that the main range finder station, shall eventually end up as a kit within a kit.
The whole assembly including the armoured measuring and data transfer room, shall be consuming more then 800 parts.

But the effort was worth it. There are a couple of minor faults, but I am quite happy with the outcome of the overall result.

The whole thing should be ready within the next 10 days, and can bring it along to the club.

Cheers.

What a beautifull work your doing Paul ...masterpiece...

KeeP me wanting more hehehe
