Beautiful!

That is an interesting idea. Will check this.

Great job!

Hello all I tried to find a way of making the nuts for the wheels. I have in my toolbox a screwdriver with changing torx heads. The T4 size is the exact size of the nuts in-scale. Firtsly, I tried to make a punch using the syringe needle. I cut the angled tip off, and then I pushed the Torx...

Thanks Zathros for your advice I am almost sure we don't have this liquid tape product. The most common thread pattern is shown in the attached picture. The grid on the cutting mat is 1x1 cm (around 0.4 inch). The pattern has many small rhomb-shaped items. Unless I find some creative way to...

Hello all. Continue with the wheels. Oh, boy... That took me a lot of time. Each wheel is made from: 2 Tire side bases from cereals box 2 tire sides 1 tire thread ( the part that actually touches the ground) 1 tire bottom 1 rim (a parer ring 2 mm wide ) 1 rim cone 2 rim center pieces for...

Oh, boy.... That's unbelieveable. Great detailing

Thanks!

Hello all Continue with the build Suspension and axles. The leaf springs are represented by boxy structures with no gluing tabs, forcing to do but-gluing. Don't like this way, made gluing tabs. Everything else went smooth and without too many issues. Brake drums went along, differential case...

Snake, this ammo looks great. I don't know what you're complaining about. The shell itself is about 2.5mm in diameter, right? You could have made them from wooden skewers and paint them, but it's 100% paper. Good job

Thanks a lot!

Thank you! Next are the steps. Two layered pieces. Quite hard to fold, but it's manageable Then came the muffler and the air tank. In regular ZiL130, the air tank and the muffler are mounted on the frame's outside. Here they inside because of the extended crew compartment

Instructions are 4 pages of drawings. I decided to begin from the frame. The beams and the crossmembers are made as closed boxy structures. I always had a problem making these long and narrow boxes straight. This time the beams look pretty much ok from the beginning. Then, I connected the...

Hello all I began building a new model. This time it's AC-30(130)-65A Soviet firetruck. I have a very warm feelings to this type of firetruck. When I was about 11 years old, I used to ride my bicycle to a firefighter's station located about 15 minutes ride. There I watched the firefighters...

Zathros, you're too kind. ***where is ths blushing emoji ***

Thank you!

What can I say about this model? It has a very unique scheme, parts fit is awesome, landing gear in 1:120 is quite a challenge. I wouldn't advise making landing gear to a novice builder. This model can be made without the landing gear and it will look awesome. In all, very beautiful and quite...

Afterwards came the antennas et voila, the model is ready.

Then the front

And then the real fun began - the landing Gear. First the main gear
