Russ:

Thanks for the offer.

With the help of the BBB I have their phone number.  Apparently they work out of a hobby shop which from the pictures looks as if it is an an industrial park.I intend to call them. 

As an aside, it appears that the Chinese provider who made their ON3 flex track has stolen their dies for it. Sort of like the problem Atlas had with them some time back.

An interesting and challenging project. The first parts already look promising, but there is certainly still a lot of work to be done.
Can you tell me where the picture was taken?

You are a master of 3-D CAD. Is the project 1:25 or did you reduce it to 1:35? Given the detail I would guess 1:25. -- Russ

I am acquainted with the owners of San Juan Models: Doug Junda and Dr. Bob Stears. They are honest and do their best to sell top quality stuff. As I recall, San Juan can't generate enough income to be a full time business. Doug is the "hands on" partner but sometimes is unavailable. Lawton, if your problem goes on too long, let me know and I'll see if I can contact one or the other. -- Russ

...and from my workbench. As I do not have my own SLA Printer this work was done by a Romanian provider of my trust. And he did a terrific job – even the cast number is clearly visible!
 

Well, that's all for today...
Cheers, Peter

Hi gents
As you may have noticed, currently there are mulitple projects under development on my computer. However, on my working desk I am very disciplined. In order to avoid losing my focus amid all my different interests, I am always  working only on a single project.

Some times ago and after completion of my work on the Artillery Tractors I decided to start a more demanding challenge: The British Centurion tank is a legend even in Switzerland. I wanted to build this tank since my days in Swiss military as I could spend one cold and rainy autumn night under the cover of one of those tanks.
Unfortunately I had to wait with that project until I got retired, so never say never !
Here the object of my desire in 1979 (the vehicle in the background ). BTW The location is about 20 minutes away from where Bernhard lives.



I intended to use the old Tamiya kit of this tank in 1/25 scale as a starting point. After a hesitant start with some quick designed replacement parts I realised, that this will become a huge project because most of the Tamiya parts are wrong or simplified.

Here the first impressions seen on my computer...

   

I had exactly the same response - Twice - and whilst we are on the subject of NO RESPONSE Same thing at Micro Engineering
even if they are still in production -I believe its a new company now Non of there stuff is available in the UK every company in the Uk that normally supplies the stuff normal response of OUT OF STOCK

Step by step, the project is becoming more and more impressive.

I recently placed an order with San Juan Model Company and after an automated response to the order, nothing.  Emails to the company have not been replied to and no information as to if the order has been filled or shipped.

Does anyone on the forum know of the current status of them?

Thanks in advance. 

Thanks.

How much of this mix do you add to the paint?  I guess you get the glycerine at a pharmacy?
