Re: 1/18 european bridge prototype for sale on E bay (not mi

I contact the seller to find out what the bridge was made of and this is his reply:

"made from solid urethane, it's light but durable"

Maybe urethane is the way to go.

The auction has ended,no one bid. I am thinking that if he was really interested in selling it,he would have start the auction for less.

Re: 1/18 european bridge prototype for sale on E bay (not mi

That foam material seems to be a good alternative to resin,at least on a diorama item such as this bridge.It will also help reduce the cost of shipping because of the weight savings. The other issue is the price the seller is asking.For less than that i am sure some of our members can make something...

Re: 1/18 european bridge prototype for sale on E bay (not mi

I wish some one who can cast this would buy it and sell copies to us.I would the first in line to buy one.
The only problem i see is that it will take a lot of resin and resin is expensive.
Also by looking at it,the molds will be huge.

Re: use for a trackless sherman?

you can use the commanders hatch for a custom retro panzer tank hatch or use it for making a hatch for German tank destroyers such as Ferdinand or Jagdpanther.

I did not know about the existence of this until now.It looks like another Nazi wonder weapon.Germans always made the cool stuff,even their Minenraumer looks very stylish.It has no tracks so casting time may not be a problem,if you decided to make it. It really looks like from science fiction movie....

Re: Any Interest In The Russian BT-7 In 1/18th Scale ?

Seems to me the wheels are the only thing that you can use from the T34.Everything else will have to be made.There seems to be a shortage of Russian armor on my red army.Of course i can always buy another t34 from you,but i rather have variety.So if you build this i will be in for one.
