Wicksteed T-10Two days to charge up the seven new 12V batteries, one at a time. Four for the firing turrets, then one in each hull half for the electronics, plus the big main propulsion battery aft.
Mounting the turretsEverything has to be dry assembled before gluing the fixed outer barbette tubes into the deck panels, because after that things get more difficult to work on. A slight delay to order shorter stepper shaft screws as wiring could possibly snag as the turret rotates. Keeping the cap heads close to the mounting boss.
One thing I cannot check is the actual rotation as the stepper motors can only be operated by the TARGET electronics.
Outer barbettes now fixed in place. Turrets with rotating inner barbettes lowered into place.
Next is underside view, showing the stepper motors, support brackets, and loads of wiring to connect to the Arduino boxes next week.
Still not had the opportunity to fit the batteries and show Agincourt some water. Waiting for a puncture repair kit for the kids ten foot paddling pool.
Clock is ticking !!!!
