I have no idea how to make this complicated barrel.
How and with what would I make it? I'd like it to be detailed, authentic, and movable. I do have a dremel on hand.
Any ideas?
thanks

So basically, you have 7 usable parts. The 6 balls and the packaging itself. These are great because the packaging has been moulded to snuggly fit over each ball. So you can easily take one ball, and cut out a section of packaging which fits over the ball and know that you have two pieces which will work together perfectly.

Yeah, kinda crude, but it could be worse, it could be a TUMOR....Yeah, as an example of what not to do
Hey man, we all have to learn someplace don’t we. It might not be fantastic but your learning. You might want to try using sheet styrene (plastic) next time, or maybe you did. When you have some spare cash you can pick it up at your local hobby shop. You can try to get some side by side schematics and translate them to 1:18 then all you have to do is make a template, cut and glue. I know, sounds easer than it is. Just keep trying and you’ll get it. I know from experience that each time I build a model they just keep getting better. I’m to the point now that I’m actually not satisfied with work I did a year ago. Just try to pick up as much info from the veterans around here and you will do just fine.catman wrote:yes i know it sucks, and i cant cut it down, it took me two weeks just to get the pieces secured. like i said ive never done this before, and i dont have a lot of time/money/tools/materials. Im not retired, and I'm not a bank.
