As i have zero combat experience, i can only agree with you both. My only experience is a one NATO exercise in Germany ( sept. 1983) and 2 weeks in camp vogelsang (in winter, brrrr cold 🥶) Continue with the Autoblinda (google translate translates "car blind" haha) The rail from the kit has already been used elsewhere. This one comes from the part box The base : wooden plate, plaster and the rail. The rail is pushed in the plaster. Painted dark grey Model and base painted and added some rust Dry brushed with sand. Next post is finishing the model

Continue with the deadeyes. Started a topic in masting, rigging and sails first. And, continued with the "ironwork" around the deadeyes and started the chains Ironwork deadeyes, work in progress. this is not really the activity I enjoy doing most. Learned soldering at school a long time ago (Didn't like it then and still don't like it now 😂) The chains. Each chain consists of 3 links. For the time being 1 link will be added to each deadeye. The length of each chain will be different. So most of the links will have a different length. The deadeyes are in a groove in the side channel of the channel, they are not attached to the channel itself. I will probably have to make the masts (lower part) first. Or temporarily fix the deadeyes with a wooden strip that will be removed later (dont now yet) According to the dimensions of 1 archaeological find, the metal around the deadeye is slightly thinner in diameter than that of the chains. (The wire of my chain is 0.1mm too thick.) Quality control on strength (looks good 👍) Thanks for following

Well done. But noncommittal comments. If these are the rigging instructions from revell, then they are wrong. Have a look at the attached photos.

Indeed. But if I were an Italian in an Autoblinda. Somewhere on a Yugoslavian railway, where partisans can attack you at any moment. Then I keep that sand for emergencies only.

How to attach deadeyes to channels in the 16th century?
Baker replied to Baker's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
The width of the channels and the exact position of the deadeyes - schrouds has already been tested. That's not going to be the problem anymore. For now I make the deadeyes first. Then probably the masts. The chains holding the deadeyes will all have different lengths. Will be fun

progress Dry brushing with grey Added some extra detail. Cables. These served to operate the boxes (filled with sand) from inside the vehicle. This sand fell on the rails and provided better grip on the wheels in an emergency. Painted the wheels and other extras.

Please, no apologies. Thanks for the constructive comments 👍. This is a very nice model. Have also seen pictures of it. And it was partly the inspiration for the color scheme on my Pelican -

How to attach deadeyes to channels in the 16th century?
Baker replied to Baker's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Thanks Allen, 16th century channels looks a bit confusing. With or without a strip? There is little correct info. Some pictures from channels without the strip.

Built the Soleyl Royal from Heller 35 years ago. The plastic masts are still standing. There is a lot of difference in quality of the plastic used. But with Revell, this shouldn't be a problem

This model looks like a late 16th century galleon.

And enjoy the restoration of this model. Maybe you discover a new hobby, building model boats.

And only belief the photos found in real books (not the digital from the "photoshop era" ) A T34 rearmed with a 88mm Before the photoshop...

Looks a bit like the "horizontal volute spring suspension" or HVSS (M4 sherman)

Welcome on the build of an Italian WW2 armoured car. General info ( wikipedia) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoblindo_Fiat-Ansaldo I started this build a while ago. Then I came to the conclusion that according to wikipedia the AB 40 ferroviaria (fv in the future) would not have existed. Only the improved AB41 would have been converted to the fv. Italeri error ?? No, after a lot of searching, the wrong information turned out to be on Wikipedia. So good work from Italeri !! Box, contents and plan Building went without problems. Everything fits perfectly. The horn has been drilled out All this happened a few months ago. Then the build stalled (wikipedia's fault ) Now restarted and the basic color has been applied since today. Current status on the photographic proof that this vehicle actually existed.
