Got a file for a 1/35 WTCT 6 amphibious trailer. For some reason I had a shift while printing and there is a step on the back end. Will have to reprint it I guess. I also got some Porpoise ammo sledge with hatches of and on. I also got some wheels for my BL 8Inch Howitzer for my Hoyt Tractor and gun which look very nice. Forgot to take pics though.
Porpoise:

Should have washed the sanding dust off before the pics i guess. Not of my game today.

"Porpoise ammo sledge withy hatches on and off"? You don't see THAT just everyday!
I thought I was into esoteric, obscure subjects!

Neat stuff James.

Well as I have not had the mojo to build I did do some more printing. I found a cool file of the Dune Ornithopter. The place that has these files is called Gambody and this set of files comes with multiple options. I printed the 1 piece wings and just need to get clear resin and some smoke colouring to do the windscreens. It also comes in FDM and SLA files with the FDM being 1/64 scale and the SLA, 1/128 scale.
If anyone followed my long shelved Yamoto Turret build I was making the small guards with .5mm plastic rod. Unfortunately it didnt work as well as I hoped. So sitting around moping earlier this week I designed some stanchions with a .5mm hole for brass or plastic rod and will try them out. It will all have to wait though as I need to get packed and go back to Ontario to hopefully see my brother for the last time and arrange his funeral. Hoping he lasts till I get there at least.
