In scale 1/35 this will be 1m 772 x 30cm. These photo's are of the vehicle deck. vehicle deck and the lower part of the LSM next are some photo's of the bridge, with the different platforms and the windows drilled, I used a drainpipe for this I also placed a WT door I placed the walls of vehicle deck with water tight doors and ladder rungs next photo's are of how it all looks like , looks more and more of a LSM, work under vehicle deck is done enjoy, rammstein 18 Giangio, Dany Boy, spacewolf and 15 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Out2gtcha 31,280 Posted August 9, 2019 Wow, some seriously nice work going onto a HUGE model here. 1 Martinnfb reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sabre F-86 154 Posted August 9, 2019 That is looking very cool. I have a set of plans for the German MarineFahrePram (MFP) which was the German version of a tank landing craft. One day (after I kiss this job goodbye) I want to scale them up to 1/35th and build one. It's basically a big box with a ramp on one end, it doesn't even have any curves to speak of. 2 MARU5137 and Martinnfb reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wegener 123 Posted August 10, 2019 Looks brilliant, although it must be tedious cutting all those parts. Very clean too - no evident filler applications! Hopefully not material but those imperial/metric conversions look a bit off to me - 24’6” is surely more like 7-8m than 10m, given that a metre is roughly 39” (3ft 3in)? 1 Martinnfb reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fvdm 652 Posted August 11, 2019 That's looking great. You're gonna need a lot of plastic for this. I'm just gonna sit back and follow this interesting build. 1 Martinnfb reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rammstein 491 Posted August 11, 2019 hello all at first I placed some ovals on vehicle deck, had no idea what they where, after seeing some photo reference, I made these manholes. at first I had to drill 10 oval holes all over vehicle deck, 3 in front, 4 at the middle and 3 at the end of vehicle deck I only made one manhole, casted all the others then it was time to do some more work on the bow, the under side of the structure the structure in place enjoy, Rammstein 10 MARU5137, F-4Phanwell, Uilleann and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
