  1. haha I think the same, but no result yet 😂
  2. Two nice models 👍 I think I've built a few Roden Kits (a long time ago) And I've got a few more on the shelf (Opel buses).
  3. Indeed, i had the idea to add some black here. let's suppose that the missiles are first turned 90° before being fired. 😉
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. No problem 👍 always welcome My Pelican spritsail is also furled. And also more shortened at the bottom something like this(see the red line on your sail)
  8. 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
  9. Very nice work Christian. Indeed, building scratch models takes a lot of time.
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. short update. wheel assembly, about half way
  13. 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
  14. If the google translater is correct, then i yhink you mean these (arrow) My poor knowlidge of english 😉 you need : a needle, rope, patience and time.
  15. 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
  16. 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
