boatman's 1/72 HMS Tiger C20 build

Thread owner
HI ALL still in pain but had boaty mate over yeterday to see tiger all goin well everything worked ok bar that small 3 inch gun turret an ive now found out that some how the servo jammed an has now burned out so instead of me doin me ailerails on the hangar bay ive now got to rework that gun turret so its two steps forward an one step back an as this turret is comin to bits i may try an drill out the small 1 an a half mm orange led in the gun barrell then refit another in so i will have all guns firein but will see what happens an the gun turret below an the burned out servo an not lookin foward to takin this all to bits IMG_7577.JPGIMG_7591.JPG
 
Two steps forward, one back… Man, I think we can all relate to that!
I know you have the patience and skill to sort the turret Chris. As with all the hurdles in this epic build you’ve overcome every one of them.
Glad you’ve managed to get the meds for the infection and I hope you feel much better real soon.
All the best
Paul

HI Paul yes i suppoce every one can relate to goin forward on a build an then havin a prob got to go back an rework it as yes i have but its damm annouyin as when it all goes ok you think well thats that sorted an onto the next part of the build but then a prob hits like this an it hits the ole mojo in a big way but i suppoce this is my own fault as these are old servos that my brother had in his aircraft as he fly R/C ones an then came along the micro servo an he gave them to me as i thought thats saved quite a few quid so now ive got to take it all apart an fit a new servo an while im doin it i may try an drill out the bad 1an half mm led in the gun barrell an refit a new one so that i will have all four guns flashin but these leds are so tiny an the wire thin as a human hair so the wire will break very easy unless im lucky an can replace it wish me luck but still got that pain so it wont be today perhaps tomorrow as its not as bad a pain as it was so i hope the meds are working
ATB Paul

well i did it with jens help as it was a little blighter to try an solder so thin a wires as at times they just would not take but done them in the end shot of them in the gun barrels IMG_7983.JPG
 
Thread owner
an because the small led's are only 3volt i had to fit in a voltage reducer to cut the power down from 12v to 6v an i think this is causein a prob but i'll put on in a moment what the prob is after pics an the V/R is the black unit on the bottom rightIMG_7982.JPG
 
Thread owner
an the gun fire unit with new wirein in an boy was i nervous as yes it proted with a fuse but things can still blow up IMG_7984.JPG
 
Thread owner
Now the problem is that now ive wired in the small 3 inch gun turret ive a prolem will tell in a little while as here just one gun flashin IMG_7997.JPG
 
Thread owner
an all 4 guns flashin here but how ive wired it one time one gun flashes then the next all 4 guns flash together an now ive lost the alternate guns flash on the main gun turret IMG_7989.JPG
 
Thread owner
SO THIS IS NOW A VOTE from you guys as i cant make up my mind which i like best but the tiny led in the 3 inch gun will hardly show in daylight
SO GUYS WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER SEE THE BIG MAIN GUN FLASHIN ALTERNATELY AN NO SMALL LED GOIN
OR ALL 4 LEDS FLASHIN TOGEATHER AN THEN ONE ON THE MAIN GUN TURRET FLASH ON THE OTHER CHANNEL I WOULD LIKE YOUR VOTES GUYS
i will leave it till tomorrow launch time then decide BUT I WILL HAVE THE DECIDEIN VOTE hope you guys dont mind
chrisb
 
That’s a tough one. I think I’d like to see all the guns fire - so I guess it’s the 2nd option.
Cheers, P

AN a later voter Hello Garry an you like Paul like all 4 guns firein well i think i have worked out how to make the best of both worlds here with a two small two way switch so flick the switch one way an just main guns will fire alternatly
an then flick the switch in the other way an there should be all 4 guns firein for when she's in a model show. BUT an yes there is a BUT I havnt treid it yet as yes i can visulise it in my mind but gettin it to work will be the problem as i will try this all out today but first to find a small two way slide switch as i have got them but since jen tidyed up the bench an my parts box well i will be lookin for a while to find them Aaaaaaacccccchhhhhhh so wish me luck guys
