Yes Matt the techniques that you mentioned are the same which I adopt when I have to cut plasticard sheets. My doubts were about the cut of thickest sheets such as the 3 mm ones. How can you manage to obtain the more complex shapes?
I suppose you're get used to cutting them using a Tamiya scriber (which I know, is an incredibly effective tool) but it seems to work well only if you have to make straight cuts

Thanks a lot anyway (also for the music )

Yes, that's it, I'll try for sure, thanks a million indeed.
Besides your advice, what do you think about cutting the thickest sheets using a jeweler's saw? Firstable I could trace the lines using a scriber then I could make some holes where my cutting lines change the direction and string the blade through them. In the end, I could draw my saw along my engraved lines.


(I've been studying English for about 5 years. Explaining the craft techniques is always the hardest thing )

Well, I would insert a rubber piece under the vice clamps. It might be enough to prevent the marks

Anyway, I'll try and I let you know. I've learnt this technique watching my sister which spends her free time making jewels. Using a saw, she even manages to cut some very thick sheets made on hard metal. She usually buys her stuff in a specialized shop which unfortunately it's closed on Saturdays. If it were been open, I would have gone there to buy saw and blades today. She'll teach me the soldering techiques next time

Cheers and many thanks again

Matt - I have to admit I dont know what to write every time I see your progress on the uber work t-55 ! Im pretty much in awe of the highest level of detail going into this build - it is such a superb reference - many thanks for this !

best

What's up?

I can't read your posts!

The same on my screen, strictly neither text nor picture in all Kahrkov's posts

Same here.

Where did he go??

Some kind of bug? Never seen like this here before..

I really hope that it was a bug, this thread is/was awsome but i don't believe that it is.

I fear that Kharkov has edited and deleted his posts as some others on other build logs have gone too? I can access all of my build logs and delete the content but not the actual posts, just has happened here.

Kharkov you still here?

What version of T-55 is this?
Thanks
