Small Scale Military Headquarters

Hey Guys , I have worked on the first 2 HINDS over the holidays Every time I think I am ready to seal up the main fuse I realize I need to do one more thing before I do . That was about 5 things ago. Presently I am working on the cargo doors. I am dealing with the hinges, mountings and door linkages...

I'm interested If these are.still available.

I have to remake the molds .
Probably in a couple of months.
I will probably make the AUNT JAMIMAH mine rollers as well this year.

I need to weigh in on this topic. I have been collecting spiked helmets for close to 30 years . At first she was keen to the helmets coming in . ( how much did you pay for that dead man's hat ?) Then, this is getting out of hand when will it stop ? She says . When I reached over 100 I started to run...

I am doing my best to get the first 2 out but there are road bumps every ware. I have been trying to button them up for final painting but EVERYTHING ELSE NEED TO BE BUILT AND PAINTED BEFOR THAT HAPPENS . 1. The main floor of the cockpit needs to be nipped and tucked to fit the front of the fuse. Go...

Those pilots look great. Thanks Rob, After clean up painting these get easier and easier. So you guys doing your own take heart.

It's a common mistake but once you submit to the internet and ask why those Panthers have 3 pipes on one side it is very clear. And in fact you can see the actual thing on the few running Panthers with that arrangement. The early Panthers had an issue with unburnt fuel buildup under the engine and ...

Now you know real track doesn't get anywhere near that rusty on a working vehicle, right? Also, those two smaller pipes on either side of the left-hand exhaust pipe aren't exhausts. They are cool air intakes and they do not get heat oxidation like an exhaust pipe does. They keep their paint. But th...

Hey Guys, I am not a fan of heavy weathering . That is the new thing in modeling. Tanks did not last all that long in WW2 especially German tanks Maybe a week not more than a month , In that time span, tanks did not rust . If a track did , as soon as it rolled most of the quick rust was slung off an...

This is the biggest, most expensive ( considering the time spent , the cheapest 6 months ), longest lasting and most frustrating consignment to date The Mississippi River Boat M/V Jesse D. Pasentine rendered in 1/48 scale . It is 36 L x 21 T and is 99.9999 % scratch built. The M/V Jesse D. Pasentine...

I really like the way this one turned out. Started life as a rocket launcher https://photos.smugmug.com/Consignments/i-ThX4gxR/0/fe894785/L/IMG_0169-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Consignments/i-jQBnW4r/0/0233cd99/L/IMG_2380-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Consignments/i-8hvmmBs/0/10a6fe27/L/IMG_...

I have used this mod on 3 251s and it was a great idea Normandy. I did not use your heated knife idea , I used a thin drill bit to cut the differential nub out chuked in a Dremal. On one of them I did get a little wild and had to use a plastic shim to tighten up the gap I created , that worked out f...

How much would it cost for a sherman conversion to the same model as besotten jenny from castle itter

?

I received this Panzer IV with damage . The collecter said he wanted a 21st stock looking Wirbelwind back in 2011. I think it turned out well one of my first custom paint jobs. Matching is not easy. http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa62/pickelhauben/002-33.jpg Before http://i202.photobucket.com/al...

Hello,

I make the t-23 turret but have not finished with the Easy 8 proto as of yet.

Here are the pilot and WSO paint masters .

Hey Guys , I made the molds years ago with an RTV that will last through 100 pours. The thing is that my resin sticks to it. When I use mold release when the resin heats up the oil in the release cooks the resin like an egg in a skillet. This makes impressions in the resin . I have 2 like this that ...

Yes always
If there is interest I am happy to share

Dang Pickel thats an impressive template, I was wondering how you were going to mas-produce camoed Hinds. Well done!! :salute: You can mass produce anything as long as you have all the time in the world to complete it:) Yes time is something I do not have . UPDATE I have 6 kits poured lacking rotor...
