    An Anti-aircraft gun carrier.

    I guess I said that wrong… there are some instructions, but lots of things were not discussed. I am not complaining at all, this is a pretty neat FREE model. I haven’t built a paper model lately and am used to seeing perspective views of where the parts go. That’s me… I will be sure to post...

    An Anti-aircraft gun carrier.

    I will post pics later, but I am struggling with this thing. Essentially no instructions… I have to try to become the designer. Sigh… I’m having fun, but wearing out. There are all sorts of parts scattered on the pages, and I have no idea what they are or where they go. I guess I will cut them...

    An Anti-aircraft gun carrier.

    Here are the translations for the 4 ‘instruction’ pages. The first page has no title, the last page has only a title. ———————————————————— Satir Armored truck instructions in English with drawings First page of instructions: I recommend to assemble tracked belts, G1 parts before installing...

    An Anti-aircraft gun carrier.

    Disregard what I said above about the folding of the frame… I have been studying the drawings and there seems to be a full belly pan for this thing. If all the sides are folded DOWN in that view, the pan would fit there. It isn’t called out in instructions that I can find. BUT, for future...

    An Anti-aircraft gun carrier.

    OK, here goes. After looking at that pic above again, and posing the base and shields from the gun kit on the test print of the Satir, I decided to go for it. I printed the frame page and compared it to the test print. I found that allowing the PDF file to print at “100%” size, it came out the...

    An Anti-aircraft gun carrier.

    I am planning on using one of the @ARMORMAN ’s provided models to build a carrier for the WWII German 20mm anti-aircraft gun. This is the model: And I hope to come up with something on this order by mounting the Tamiya gun kit and Tamiya gun crew kit on the back of the truck. Hopefully it...

    A memorial to my mum (A BRTC25 Thunder Fighter in BSG livery).

    This model would look great hanging from a bit of fishing line and being allowed to dance in the breeze in the house. My silly cargo ship model is hanging and swinging over my work area. It is fun to watch it move around.

    Magnolia

    You obviously need to build a trailer for her. :biggrin: I bet stepping the mast would be a chore for the little people sailing it. You DO have little people, right? of course… THREE eyed ones to boot!

    Bandai 1/144th Millennium Falcon from SW, TFA

    I have several tons (really, it is for our garden plot) buried under snow now. I’ll retrieve a can full and screen it to get the different sizes.

    Tie Bomber design and building thread

    You must have infinite patience. Countless tiny bits of paper to cut and glue… :eek:

    Looking great! Please explain your ‘sand effect’ when you post the pics of that. I have some to do.

    Green Army Men Equipment and buildings and stuff…

    I forgot to show the results of the base rocks under the observation post. My lady went nuts trying to get the look she wanted. I told her this is perfect. We plan to put some chalk dust in a matte sealer on what is there now. Then I have to figure out what I want the observation post to look...

    Green Army Men Equipment and buildings and stuff…

    That cold shop is basically what ended my ‘machinist’ career. We moved from there and I gave all my machines to my son for helping us move. Moving a packrat from a place he lived for 16 years, 150 miles… he earned every bit of it. Plus he got my knuckle boom service truck. He’s a good kid, hard...

    Green Army Men Equipment and buildings and stuff…

    I used to have a block of 4140 that was about 3x10x12… I wonder what happened to that? A bit heavy for model making though.

    Green Army Men Equipment and buildings and stuff…

    Here is why I have so much time to kill inside the house. (We finally have that NevadaBlue sky) And a bit of progress on the Hawk launcher system. I made a foam block for the base of the launcher and covered top and sides with card stock. I dug a trough through the block for the axle location...

    Green Army Men Equipment and buildings and stuff…

    Previous hobby of gunsmithing left me with a complete machine shop and lots of neat tools. One son has the machines, I need to get them set up for him and start teaching him the basics. Yes, the 1-2-3 blocks are handy for lots of things. In this case they were weights, other uses are to keep...

    A memorial to my mum (A BRTC25 Thunder Fighter in BSG livery).

    Beautiful work! I’m a bit disappointed that there appears to be only one seat. I won’t be able to go for a ride in it. Sigh…
