ivanmoe Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I hate to mention Model Shapeways 3D-printed 40mm Bofors, as I don't find them truly comparable to the thread's subject. However, they are available in numerous scales, including 1/32, and can make suitable additions to a display for plane models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baffozac Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 Hello, @ivanmoe, I saw this a little while ago, but as I had already done, a long time ago, a large part of the parts, it was of no interest to me. In addition, Shapeways' shipping costs to France are exorbitant even for small parts and, in addition, for a few months now, everything that comes outside the EU is taxed. Start of production of the stand: The front The rear Assembly test, for the moment, it's ok for me.

baffozac Posted April 4, 2023 Author Share Posted April 4, 2023 Hello gentlemen and many thanks for your comments. Jacques Druel, then head of l' Arsenal, had been kind enough to give me these sights. The protection cage of these sights is made of 0.4 Albion aluminium tube and 0.3 Plastruct rod Assembly test, the springs do not please me much, lack of regularity, to see... I saw that some guns had ammunition racks. So why not? Especially as shells, I had cast a lot of them. Plus, it’s gonna strengthen the railing. That's all for today.

baffozac Posted April 9, 2023 Author Share Posted April 9, 2023 Hello, Details I had not put on the first model, for lack of documentation. A large part of the elements before the assembly will be done with small screws for the platform and the supports of the guns and metal and plastic axes for the other parts, which will limit the gluing. The bottom, with the holes to put the screws. Nice sunday ! Christoffer Lindelav, chrish, patricksparks and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Fleischmann Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 There are modelers who “think” they can scratchbuild; and like to beat their chest about it..and then there are modelers like you who actually can scratchbuild. This is incredible and inspirational. Well done! cheers Pete easixpedro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baffozac Posted April 15, 2023 Author Share Posted April 15, 2023 Hello and many thanks. For the pipes, I used 0,6 mm torric seals for watches. It is sufficiently soft and matte, and sticks very well with CA. And for the fittings, it’s Albion tube Some paint: I used Haze Gray 5H from AK interactive (AK5002) And the bigger pieces were primed with Mr.Resin primer surfacer. In the event that some defects remain to be corrected. See you later ! LSP_Kevin, chukw, easixpedro and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
