Re: How To Make Easy Realistic Looking Tracks
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.

Re: Sd Kfz 251 front end custom
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.

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.

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 ...
