Small Scale Military Headquarters

After 6 years I finally got the track issues worked out !

I confused myself.
In the picture above are 21st tracks .
I split the main drive cog and added the extra nibs to the inside of the tracks.
I drilled the nibs and slid in some wire on each one so they would not pop off.
It was LOT of work.
So much that it was a one and done !

I have a 3d printer buddy make the proto for the 3 bar cleated tracks for the Pacific Sherman. To my knowledge this is a first in 1/18 scale. https://photos.smugmug.com/Consignments/i-VgVvkhb/0/MmSBLh5qJsKDBvkHsvSJ5K9rdRrnmCw6DXMmvbKBQ/L/thumbnail%20%2831%29-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Consignm...

Hey Guys, Not sure if anybody is still here but I am ! This is my Bran new line of Pacific Shermans . I am making full builds and selling the kits. https://photos.smugmug.com/Consignments/i-xMrfB4p/0/LLbhXJLpZhj8PP9pwq7gtCwCzpT8mf68FNSpqrTT4/L/thumbnail%20%2829%29-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Co...

Production is underway.
Many ,many parts.

I think I have ALL the bugs worked out and I will make my first production pieces today.
I was having issues with the track and that has been worked out and I have Grunt making the fender channels .
So I am ready to go !

In the grand scheme of things, I don't think that his asking price is that high.
I unfortunately had to sell my years ago due to finances.

Hey Guys I have been busy. https://photos.smugmug.com/Consignments/i-dhBRpP9/0/KxwpXrBRz3FV8tH94RzMzdQ24cDV9Ft2s3pTvzpr6/L/thumbnail%20%2811%29-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Consignments/i-HTNNph6/0/KJnmgdD44vWm8skP3V7J7dHXqk89T8qKm9SxHLN4F/L/thumbnail%20%2812%29-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/...

I got some self drying clay to do the job thanks.
I actually looked at those but I needed so much of the bags and certain shapes I decided I had to make my own.

It does look nice.

Hey Guys,
Is anyone making 1/18 scale sand bags ?
Made out or resin or 3d painted ?

At the present I am still over my head building armor. At the time my real work was non existent. so I put a few things up for sale on ebay and they sold fast so I put a few more. The money made paid the bills then my real job kicked in .. oh nooo... I am catching up. Once all those tanks get built ...

I use plane Scotch tape
Try not to touch the sticky side of the tape .
The oil in your fingerprints will take some of the sticky out of the tape.
Stick the tape to a piece of glass make your cuts , pry up an end with your knife and apply.

Depends on the tape, sometimes it bonds to the surface and almost impossible to get off unless you use a solvent,

On the wind shield I have tried tiny pieces of clear scotch tape .
It works .

I have thought on this many a time. On the door windows. The easiest way would be to make the clear window about a 1/4 inch bigger than the frame and use the gold CA glue and put a drop in each corner let it dry totally then mask the window and paint the are 1/4 over lapping. The gold glue ( thick) ...

Wow
That is something !!!

Is this thing on ?
I know some of you guys have a few.
This is the chance to dump them !

Yikes !!!!!
Back in the day I had 2 of them and the Wittman Tiger 1.
Pretty sure that will be on ebay a looooooooong time.

There is a difference between all 3.
The 21st front has a different angle of the glaciest and the BBI and Bravo have a slight difference.
But if it is made a little longer one size fits all.

Anyone know of accessories to make a Pacific Sherman? I was looking for the plywood sides, I was thinking of making them out of balsa and the intake/exhaust stacks which I've seen on battleground models site but they look like they're designed for 1/16 HL tanks, but wasn't sure if someone had a res...
