hello all,

 

dodgem37: lenght will be +- 1m77

thierry laurent: thanks for the info BTR-50 and T-55 Tirans wow, but I will keep it in WW2 time frame.

 

Started on the 25 men balsa life rafts.

2019-09-13%2017.15.24.jpg

styreen is evergreen n° 199 ; 6,3 x 6,3 mm

2019-09-16%2018.25.03.jpg

2019-09-16%2018.30.33.jpg

the build is straight forward, not difficult to do, just styreen and etch, cutting and sanding

2019-09-17%2011.14.58.jpg

the making of the wooden floor, I make it once, cast then 2 times. Tape 11 strips of 2mm width

2019-09-17%2011.26.49.jpg

remove second, forth, sixth  etc strip and tape it

2019-09-17%2011.34.11.jpg

glue a strip over these strips, make sure everything is square

2019-09-17%2011.40.00.jpg

repeat this 14 times

2019-09-17%2011.43.42.jpg

2019-09-17%2011.57.43.jpg

just cut out and sand

2019-09-17%2012.44.58.jpg

just to fill in some voids, and sand it

2019-09-17%2013.20.16.jpg

it will look like this, a lot of detailing to do, all the etch which is visible through the squares must be removed

enjoy,

hello all,

 

the 20mm ammo lockers have been cast, now it is time to extra detail the locker., making of the locking screws.2019-09-24%2013.08.32.jpg

twist some wire around a drill, bent some wire in u_ shape, drill holes and glue2019-09-24%2013.09.04.jpg

cut to lenght, glue a disk onto the wire, and glue a ring on top of this, repeat it 10 times and one ammo locker is finished, still 3 lockers to go

I'm seeing all your photos just fine. But I think Frederick might have a point: they are very large (around 4MB each), so perhaps reducing them in size to about 1024px wide or so before uploading them might help (keep the original full-size images however).
