Thanks Pete

Hi Dave
The use of transparent plastic sheet, spray Tamiya transparent green, good results.
When assembled, the green plastic sheet in place to paste the following 2mm aluminum foil, can play a reflective effect, the model also has a bullet-proof glass on the depth of feeling.

Thanks Pedro.
I'm planning to start from scratch to establish US Cougar HE wheeled armoured vehicle (6X6). But the wheels of mold problems. I use the wheel as a trumpeter of the M1117 model to be modified. When the resin is solidified not ideal, there are a lot of bubbles and deformation, are there any good tips to solve these problems?
Thanks

Well Blackwater. You can use a simple mold and make the wheels like you see in this picture. The same mold is useful for the two parts of the wheel.

You can use a double mold and make the wheels like in my step by step:
First, we pour the exact resin in the two parts of the mold and we move this with a pointer in order to avoid the bubbles.

Second, we wait that the resin begin to dry.

Third, we join the two parts of the mold and we pressed with our fingers. The rest of the resin will go out by the overflows

Final resin copies

Hi Guys
Some new photos, hope you like it.
I have been trying to put it more realistic vehicle performance, from the pictures I got additional information for details. Enhance the spectator model.
Here to say: I am very pleased to share with everyone. Thank you.

Complex structure

I was trying to copy it, but it seems a lot of trouble. . .

Thanks Scott, nice to meet you

Progress is going very well and it's all starting to come together very nice.

How will the bar armour over the drivers hatch work?

Pete

Hi Pete
Indeed, here is a stand-alone armor, I am also considering the principle of its activities.
See the picture as if it is not open.
Thank you for your reply

Blackwater

Ok so it lifts up unlocks and folds forward and then the hatch can be opened.

Thanks for the picture.

Pete

Hi
Today, I look carefully at the profile photo, that I made an obvious error. Fortunately, it is not difficult to solve.

Wow !!

Just saw your conversion. It's looking like a truly outstanding build.

That is one nice scratchbuild!

Thanks Joel and Hilbert.

No thanks needed.

Watching a master builder whose attained the skill levels you have is a true joy to someone like me who rarely strays from an OOB build, simply because that's the level I'm basically at. I do detail from time to time, but that's about it.

Looking forward to your continued updates.

Man ytou have done so much stunning work, I don't know if I can Keep up with the level of detail. "I realy need to get back to work", on something.

Hi Guys

This is my latest progress, have been pre-assembled grid armor to see results. There are many places need to be adjusted, please give me your views.
Thank you

Please give me a connection to your album, on the M109. I would like to see it.
