German type xxiii 1/72 or 1/32

[matthewnimmo]

I have retrofitted conduit seals -- these permit quick break-down of the ballast tank section from the surrounding cylinder without breaking any glue unions. All friction fit through tightly fitting encapsulated O-rings.





Now I install the new, smaller gauge, wiring needed to make room for some devices that were just too mashed up inside these little cylinders.

David

Very cool! That will be very helpful as i can see all the components that we need to be in there

[matthewnimmo]

He Who Shall Not Be Named Hey David, thought id check in to see how this is going? Any more progress good sir?

thanks again,

[matthewnimmo]

He Who Shall Not Be Named Hey David. I thought i would drop a line to see if you have anymore progress on this good sir

[matthewnimmo]

Im probably sounding like a broken record; but ive waited two years so ill keep waiting. However if David is anything like me i need reminders that show up. Anyhow, i hope to hear something back soon!

Yes, I need the occasional reminder to get off my butt and finish something. The little 1/72 Type-23 is one of those long suffering projects. I'm still enthusiastic about the project, but other business had injected itself of late. I hope to rejoin the Type-23 battle soon.

thanks again in advance!

David, i know you are super busy. May I suggest something? Instead of you taking time away from other works and other models probably more fun than this finger cramper small build. Perhaps i can take what you have and figure it out. I dont mind a challenge. If you are open to that then we can have Bob setup an invoice for all the parts and perhaps you can just give me a few pointers but then i can work with it?

thanks again in advance. Hope your fourth was fun!

A most gracious offer and solution to this long delayed product delivery. I humbly accept your offer, sir.

But, let's do it this way:

No payment. You provide me your shipping address and I gather up all work to date, carefully box it up and send it to you. And be assured that as you wrestle this beast I'll always be available at this end to help with material and advice when needed. I hope you will chronicle your work at this thread.

Standing by, Matthew.

David, i dont see this as a failed attempt. Instead you are giving me an opportunity to grow me out of my comfort zone. Im sure ill learn a lot from this

thanks again!

outstanding! David, thank you again. I received everything and i will keep the forum up to date with my progress! This week i have to put together my shop some since we moved and this weekend im out of town but next week i cant wait to jump into this

thank you so mich!

[matthewnimmo]

So shortly after i started to clean up my shop area to start works on this ive developed a pinched nerve leaving large amounts of pain in the right arm and my index finger numb so ive been going to the chiropractor to get that taken care of. As soon as im no longer in pain and can lift things again I’ll finish up my shop area and get this going!
