Re: A TINY FAMO - Tracks

Yikes I didn't know they did separate links in 1/72, that blows my mind, but it sure looks nice !

Re: A TINY FAMO - Tracks

Wow Luiz, that's quite a kit. Wonder if you could use those tracks for a 1/35 Kettenkrad?

Re: A TINY FAMO - The base ( April/ 16)

What's the purpose of the cardboard for the celluclay to be built up on? can you not apply it directly to the base?
