Tigerdvr Posted July 22 #49 Posted July 22 Greetings, Your project can only be described as Museum Grade. A pleasure to watch your progress. I have a question if I may. The barrels on the Bofors seem a fraction thick. I guess it could be the camera/lighting angle. And then it could just be my old eyes playing tricks. Nice work with the camera by the way. Thanks for sharing.

Rick Thanks Rick, my building is nothing special. I don't believe there are 2 modelers that create alike. Being a scratch builder for the most part it's just the ability to recreate what I visualize. I've learned how to cast, mold, vacuum form, design photo etching and modify stuff to fit a purpose. In the new world 3D printing has replaced many of these processes to achieve the same results. 3D printing will open a whole new world to model building.
