Here is my next build. Have been looking forward to starting this (which is also why I finished up the Pak 40 in record time). I added a couple of photos to the end of that build pointing out some more mods I did. Hopefully this one won't need as many corrections. I thought about doing the 8...

OK folks I added in the other two photos to the end of the previous post. Now I am moving to the support vehicle for this beastie.

You still got it across the finish line John. It is still a decent looking build. Once you get some more weathering done, it will be fairly impressive.

Looking really good Alex! Your painting skills seem to be improving,

Here are the mods and corrections. And this one that is in the previous post which makes 28 modifications. IF I did the correction between the gun mount and carriage it would be more as the mount should be about 1/16th higher off the carriage than it is. Edit - Here are...

OK folks, this is a big one! She's singing so you know what that means. :bigrin: Here are the photos along with a listing of ALL the mods and fixes I did. I missed one major fubar that they did. and have a fix for it, but not going to go back and change a bunch of stuff to get that one...

Sorry to hear about what your mom is going through. Several years ago a retired lady here in Memphis allowed some guy to move in. He blew through her $140k on a ton of models and stuff. The local hobby shop sold off a bunch of it for her but she lost a LOT of her savings. It's sad that folks...

Sounds like you had a fabulous time! Does Teresa ever do the Mega Lotto's. I would suspect she has more of a chance at that than the rest of us poor shlubs put together. As of now I am starting to plan on being at the Nationals in Ft Wayne IN next year. Should be doable for me with a year to...

I can do a 6 hour drive one way easy, have done it many times. Seven hours if it is something I "REALLY" want to go to. Anything east of Knoxville is not going to happen for a 1 day event.

I am leaning toward the Hi resolution resin printers. You might want to check out my 1/16th scale Pak 40 build

Welcome to the forum Mark. I am an old time draftsman that migrated to PCB cad back in the 90's (circuit boards). For the last 20+ years though I have been doing watch repair for a living. I still use Canvas to do line drawings and create my photo posts. Back in the 90's and early 2k's I used...

Paddy, I have found that different brands and types of CA work differently and have different properties. Lately I have been using the Bob Smith brand medium (in the purple label and cap) that I bought at the local hobby shop. First off it doesn't outgas and make the white frost around it...

When LBJ was Pres, I went to downtown Broken Arrow to the Ben Franklin. They had a 3 foot (ok maybe 2 foot) wide wall shelving unit with model kits on it. I remember getting the Revell Memphis Belle, B-24, PBY, and Dam Buster kits there as well as several 1/72 Airfix kits. At the time the...

I do tea and have multiple ways of heating water. It's a guy thing to have back ups.

Where ya going Bob?

I will try sometime this weekend, and we will see.

It's a 9 1/2 hr drive for me and even though my brother lives in KC that is a bit much for a short weekend.

I got in the new M3 kit from Andy's. It looks to be as good as all the other kits that Andy and Das Werk have had Takom make over the last few years. Though it does have one minor thing that could turn into a BIG problem if not dealt with. As I have no idea how to actually make this into a...

I am pretty sure this is a new mold made from an original kit pattern. My guess is that the original kit was a "Fit the Box" kit so who knows what scale it was.
