WIP Double Duty

[Tony lee]

Well so much for being the President.
I worked on those things for 5 hrs and got no-where with those tiny bits but I think i've got a solution but not till it's ready to paint.

At least I didn't waste the whole day.

See Ya Later

The SU-76 is on the side lines waiting on a book.

Did some more PE work today. Fenders are folded and ready to install,made a jack block and started working on a fire extinguisher. I even cut out some of the other parts and bent those for later all while watching the Toyota hearings. :woohoo:

Thanks for coming by
Tony Lee

 

[moon puppy]

Hey Tony, back up on the loading crane, how did you get the PE to behave so well on that loop? I can never fold a good circle.

 

[martyn_c]

Hi Tony, nice work. Progress is good! :cheer:

 

[Tony lee]

Hey Pup. I rolled it with a 1/8inch drill rod on top of my cutting mat while pressing down.

That's one side with one to go.

Thanks for the compliments guys
Tony Lee

 

[Ruben Lopez]

Wow Tony, those fender look very neat indeed.

Are you planning to bent them a little or are aiming for the new and pristine look?

Ruben

 

[Tony lee]

I don't know Ruben I guess it depends on the other side. I may just kink it here and there or really destroy the other side.

Thanks for stopping by bud.

Whoa Toner
That is the drake's innards!
I'm too used to modelling M4s. I reckon you could sling a Sherman in a papoose across the deck of this one
Luvverly metal work.
Brad

 

[Tony lee]

Thanks Mike and as you get older they start to look like a picket fence too. :laugh:

BradJ my long lost amigo how yall are buddy? No I don't think the M-4 would fit,heck there even much room for the crew.

Thanks Guys
Tony Lee

 

[DioRandy]

Hey, hey Tony!
That's some awesome-looking work. How are you ever going to top this double dip?
I guess you're gonna have to build a 1-1 in your garage. But, what would it be? A King Tiger, perhaps?
Randy

 

[Tony lee]

King Tiger "NO WAY" Randy. Jagdtiger for sure SPGs Forever. :laugh:

My reference book for the SU-76 is here and it shows the exhaust pipes are heat wrapped.
The wife got me a roll of the paper tape that won't rip your skin off when removed and I cut it into some 1/8th inch stripes and tried to half wrap it around the pipes.
So what do you think, does it look the part????

With a wire warp to hold the heat tape in place.

Thanks for looking
Tony Lee

 

[TREEMENDUS]

Hi Tony

Just stumbled accross this build!!

Yeah this is looking great mate. The PE and Zimmerit are looking mighty fine. As for pipework, yes that works perfectly well. Keep up the good work.
