Heng Long M4A3>M10>M36 conversion

And here it is with the turret built up.



So from the last time I posted the new turret my want from the design has changed a bit.

When I started the m36 turret I was fine with it being a mostly permanent build. Sure you could take the gun, mantlet and, barrel off but the ammo bustle, turret body, gun mount and, turret base would all be super glued together.

Well with the incorporation of IR capabilities i've decided to change that ideology. As is visible from the ammo bustle, I have made it so that all the infrared components can easily be removed from The Wire to the receiver. When it comes to the infrared Emitter in the mantlet that is just press fit and can easily be pulled out. And lastly as is visible From the photo of the bottom of the turret I have incorporated 3 magnets that will allow you to remove the M36 turret and swap in an m10.

So how was your weekend?

The ir system is up and running on the m36 and I think it's almost done and ready for a finally product.

Small update.

I got a resin printer.




So that means I have reprinted all parts of the conversion kit again with small parts being printed in resin for added detail.

Parts look so much better printed in resin. I am still trying to hone my skills with PETG and haven't even put the resin printer together yet. I have to say, I am a little intimidated by the resin printer.

BTW...is that Evony I see in the background?

Good job with the parts. I'm in the same boat as Barmonkey. My resin printer is still sitting in the box, but mostly because I don't have a good place to set it up at the moment.
