M29 Weasel family 1/72 (scratch) by Backer Finished
Baker replied to Baker's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Indeed, But a little slow. In 1982, my first job was at General Motors, assembling Opel cars. Production was faster (but then there were more people on the Opel assembly line than now at my Weasel assembly line 😉). There were once 2 Opel factories, one is now a cinema and the other has been completely demolished. 👎 Well, the Weasels have wheels. One also has the sprocket and idler wheels. Now i make the tracks. Never made them myself. So it will be trail and error until it works out... i need 10 tracks -

And a finished model. Some rust and drybrushing with sandcolor Washed with matt black N° 1435, tagged and ready Build "out of the box" no modifications Some Russian AA, ZSU 23 4W1 (Jadar epoxy resin) 2S6M Tunguska (Military Wheels Plastic) SA6 Trumpeter Thanks for folowing this build -
I also used colorless shoe polish to treat the cotton. Then it is less frayed and the texture is less rough I don't think you will find this brand of shoe polish in Australia. But there is beeswax and carnaubawax in it.

Chinese cheating... Molded on cable and handles on the model, separate parts on the box photo (I think the picture on the box is of the 1/35th model) Base color ready en missiles painted A light grey dry brushing and other colors painted. Various missile combinations can be found on the web, that's why there is 1 light green and 2 dark green With extra decals from the decal partsbox (a Czech model in a green color) Almost ready -
Yes, you can do this. Someone who builds such beautiful scratch models (including the crew) is going to stitch a beautiful sail Indeed, The restored 66 year old Singer from my mother (post 599) 20210726_191014.mp4

A drawing 😉 My hems are too wide, narrower is better, but my sewing skills were insufficient. The diluted PVA glue over the hems prevents fraying after cutting at the seams

Always welcome Further construction In some parts the connection between the sprue and part is much too thick (my opinion) This simplifies the injection molding to the parts during production. But there's more cleanup to do for the modeller ready for painting base color wheel-track part ready for assembly Thanks for following -

Indeed also during the various Israel Arab wars these had "good" results (wikipedia) Yep, a legit Chinese company and the kits are usually of good quality -
Next model is the SAM 6 from the Chinese manufacturer Trumpeter. SA 6 Gainful is the NATO nickname. The official Russian name is 2K12 "Kub". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2K12_Kub Made in China... This is not piracy or lower quality. On the contrary, this box is a pleasant surprise. Neatly packaged and nice molded parts Wheels and tracks in one part and very well detailed orderly plan Building the chassis / hull

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
