Juggernut Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Very nice! I wish I had those plastic forming skills. I just butcher the plastic to some shape that "resembles" what I need and go with that.... Now if I were able to do what you do, I'd be much better off. Care to share how you design, cut and manufacture such things like the hatches, vents, and the loading/unloading ramp? I'm quite sure there are a lot of us who'd benefit from such a tutorial (for lack of a better word). Edited August 16, 2019 by Juggernut rammstein and D.B.

rammstein Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 hello all, Juggernut I will post how I made it, hopefully you will benefit from it. I do not have any photo reference how I made the vegitable locker, but I do have photo's regarding build main mast. into place on vehicle deck main mast dry fitted with radar on top, radar is by Italeri from the PT conversion set I made the yardarm , main mast in the back, with a working platform in between the eyes in the yardarm are made with a drill, insert a thin wire and than drill thickness of the drill is 0.9mm, this will be also the diametre of the eye, cut to lenght and glue. The making of the platform is straight forward, draw 2 circles on a piece of sheet, cut out and sand, drill a hole for the mast, a piece of strip is glued in the center resembling a support and a piece of sheet is glued on the side. the platform is glued in place, then the yardarm, this is how it looks regards, Rammstein Shawn M, F-4Phanwell, Out2gtcha and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
