Re: 1/18 Scale M-4A3E8 Back On Track

Work continues. The fender supports were the second reason I shelved this project. I am back on track. https://photos.smugmug.com/Consignments/i-zKGt3Mp/0/LP74CH6C8tM2Qjqb87KbrXQGnQjM9SNfG3ggkNkcq/L/thumbnail-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Consignments/i-tNssdzD/0/K8sxbMPQrPgbVQGNmhSkFcJfB5tBHfxb3...

Re: Pickelhaube's Consignment Corner

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 !

Re: Tender Terror for sale on E-bay

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.

Re: !/18 Scale Sand Bags

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.

Re: Adding windows to the Elite Force M114 Humvee

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,

Re: Adding windows to the Elite Force M114 Humvee

The gold glue ( thick) ...
