I can definitely do the Sterling. Stock will be tough but can be done.
I do some 3D design work. Message me for more info on what I'm doing or have done. Inquire about a product catalog.

How about a modern chock for assisting in securing tanks to rail cars and transporter trailers?
No one has created this in 1/35 and they are commonly carried on modern German and Canadian tanks. The version shown in the images was obviously also used by US troops in Germany during tank train moves.
I can provide you full 360 images and dimensions.

Sure. The chock should be pretty easy. Full dimensions and 360 pictures should be pretty good.

Sterlings are finished.
Stock extended:
Stock folded:
Now, does this look like an acceptable barrel for a Fiat M13/40 tank?

Hi Mike
The Sterlings are nice - will they be available in 1/16th?

I can certainly make them available. I haven't put the Sterling's up on the shop yet. I have a few quick things to do before I can. And looking back at the pictures, I think a few refinements are in order.

Thanks for doing the SMGs. Cannot wait to see them in the flesh.

Cool, couldn't see them on your pages, but figured they wouldn't be too far away.

For the return rollers, I think something is off. When I modeled the wheel it was much thinner than the space in the supports. It also looks wider than what my program is showing me.
I placed order for the 1/72 support rollers prior to heading off on an long business trip but, received e-mail stating they couldn't be printed. Have you been able to tweak them?
There is a good chance I will be receiving engineer drawings for several components of the AAV that would make excellent replacements for HobbyBoss' parts if they can be 3D printed.
Also, would you be able to make masks/stencils? I've been hunting high and low for various decals but have had zero luck and I don't think I'm skilled enough to carve letters from tape that would be identical four or five times.

The SMGs haven't been completely out up yet but they should be up by the end of today.

I haven't done anything yet with the 1/72 rollers. In all honesty I forgot. I can do stencils as long as they are for flat or simple curved surfaces.

Hello Mike,I've been away for awhile and was wondering if you could come up with the full gunners station of an M-901 ITV TOW Vehicle. Have not seen anyone come up with one as of yet, and I must say I'm impressed with seeing your work.

Well I can try but you'll have to help me out with it. Pictures would be needed and if you can get dimensions and diagrams it would be great.
The Sterlings are now up and online and the 1/72 return rollers have been fixed.

Rollers ordered! This is an enormous help to a project that has been idling in the stash for many years. Largely because these tiny but prominent parts are beyond my ability to recreate in 1/72.
Concerning the stencils, they are intended for flat areas of different vehicles. In what format would you prefer the dimensions? I have a set of 6" stencils we used to mark our AAV, so getting measurements is easy.

Hi Mike
Found the 1/35 Sterlings - but no 1/16th option?

The 1/16 Sterlings are being uploaded now. They will be available as variant options under the 1/35 products.

Personally, it's a long time that I would like the Australian Owen Sub Machine Gun in 1/35 and 1/32 (54mm), I think it was never done by anyone, but was used from '43 until the mid 60's

Hi Mike,
I'm interested in the M13/40 47mm barrel. It looks pretty good to me. I'll need to do some up-close comparison but it sure looks the part to me. Have you got any dimensions you can share, mainly the length? Would this fit both the Zvezda/Italeri and Tamiya kits? Any estimate on what they will cost?
Thanks

The Owen SMG can be done. I have a few other projects I need to get working on first though.
About the m13/40 barrel, I can provide some up close renders. I don't known the length offhand and I don't know if it'll fit either kit. It can modified to fit but I'd need to see the kit parts that the barrel fits into. And I have no estimate. It's all based on Shapeways pricing.

Hey Mike, Can I request some 1/16 modern military storage stuff...like bags, sacks, and stuff. There is plenty in 1/35 for every kit but nothing in large scale. Preferably, for US military to go with M1A1, M-ATV, and Maxxpro. TIA.

I can try the bags. I'm not entirely sure I'd be able to do them but I will try.
