A CR 323 class part 2 tank.
Whilst waiting for the gearbox to arrive I thought I would have a go at the saddle tank.
I cut the templates on the silhouette and glues them to 10 thou brass. The notched ones are 3 layers soldered together, with a single layer for the front face.
The frame soldered up. Flat board with some stripwood and various clips to hold it all .
Wrapper annealed, cleaned and formed with various tubes and rods. The wee vice with the red bits of plastic from lidl worked a treat for holding it all tight for soldering.
Given a good scrub and handrail knobs soldered in. I’m quite pleased with that, not as difficult as I thought it might be to get it all the right shape and size.
Gears and hornblocks have now arrived, so frames next.
