boatman's 1/72 HMS Tiger C20 build

[Tim Marlow]

Good god Chris that wiring belongs in a movie - ‘Bond, don’t cut the red wire!!!’
It all looks very, very complicated but I’m sure you know what you’re doing. Great work, as ever, even if us mere mortals don’t understand what’s going on!
Keep up the great work

Kind of reminds me of this sketch by the incomparable Bob Newhart…

Best line being…if that thing goes off it isn’t you they’ll want to speak to Willard, it’s me……

I knew him as Professor Proton in "The Big Bang Theory", but I think I've been losing the best of him... :smiling5:

HI Paul i gather you like the wireing then lol but i can assure you that every wire is carrying power somwhere to some unit an norfolk is no where near as complex as tiger will be on the wirein an im a mere mortal as well i sometimes have to scratch my head to find out what does what but thats where a cicut tester comes in handy an yes the work will carry on as too much money invested in this to stop an yes i think i know what im doin an what goes where but its all in my head so just got to hope the ole grey matter keeps up with myself lol but im getting there

Just look up Bob Newhart, defusing a bomb, on YouTube Chris. It is well worth it…probably his funniest monologue….

Chris,
That amount of wiring has caused my head to go into regression - up until now my only wiring was for things that go 'bang' - basically two wires, a battery and a clothes peg! Now I feel empowered to try a two-way switch in between! (NB: Are those wires a correct diameter for 1/72 ... ?) :fearful:

HI GUYS WELL some first proper build pics since i was ill
an jen has been helping me on these cam swiches as its been a job to hold the base board to fit an make these cam switches an here we go as this will be a double unit to work from channel 7 an channel 8 on my R/C T/X an here we have made one from guess work an it works ok all micro switches come on an off when the cam hits them an it just a plastc gear that is the cam an ground down to work the switches

[boatman]

an here the next cam micro servo now goin to be fitted in to the base board

[boatman]

an hole cut to allow the micro servo to sit down an be screwed in place

[Airborne01]

You are so good at this that you're 'doing my 'ed in!' Well done mate -- -!

[boatman]

here ive removed both cams to allow the micro swiches base to be glued down

[boatman]

You are so good at this that you're 'doing my 'ed in!' Well done mate -- -!
