Hi Mike
Ordered the closed stock Sterlings & also a set of 1/16th Slave cables, now just waiting to hear if they've ok to print.
Re that large scale stowage - how about some Alice packs in 1/16th to hang off the sides of vehicles?

I can try the bags. I'm not entirely sure I'd be able to do them but I will try.
Super, thanks for your time

1/35 Sterling's have been reupload. They are ready for ordering and should be fixed.
Malcom, yours are in 1/16 so everything is larger and more printable.

Engine radiator hose clamps in 1/35
All types, American, German, etc., if at all different from one another.

Those can't be done. Just too small and thin to print. If I can learn to work the new Sheet Metal feature of the program I use, I might be able to make a template for photoetching. But I'm not sure if anyone would take on the design.

Can you maybe do the Hannay reels 175 PSI Air spade that you put on the interrogation arm on the Buffalo mpcv kit ? I have some photos from WWP book for the buffalo mpcv in detail.. It's the wheel that you see on some older buffalo and all new buffalo..
There are no measurements of this in the book but that should be possible to look on the photos of the arm and then take that measurements on the Bronco kit..
I have the kit too if your intreasted... It's just that i can not include photos here so if you want a picture send me a message..
That would be a cool thing for the kit

I received my 1/72 late style LVT support rollers and all I can say is FREAK’N INCREDIBLE!!!!!!
I finally got around to snapping couple pics to share. The first two images are the support rollers with a wash added to one pair in attempt to help show the detail in the picture. The dime gives good scale to size of the rollers.
Third image are the rollers sitting on an LVT(A)2 I’m working on showing the difference between the early and late style support rollers.
Fourth image is of the rollers sitting on the starboard sponson of the LVT(A)5 Modified conversion. I will remove the kit support rollers and install the 3D-printed parts on this kit. The putty is due to grafting LVT4 running gear to the LVT(A)4 but keeping the latter’s outer bulkhead to preserve the foot holds.

Perhaps like scattered parts, like jaw bones, etc

Don't know if it constitutes fiddly bits or not - but how about Centurion Fire extinguishers in both 1/35 & 1/16th - Stephen White did a good tutorial on them in his Armortek Cent build - http://www.armortek.co.uk/Forum3b/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=3931&start=885 -

Thanks for the positive words, Dan. Glad they came out so well.
Frank: I'll check out what's wrong with the open stock model. To be honest, I haven't had much time to do anything this past week.
Jeff and Amoz: I'm unable to do the skeletons. Not sure how to model the bones.
Trakpin: I can give fiddly-bits a try. But what bits would you like?
Malcom: I can do the extinguishers. I have to check my queue first and see where it fits in.

Okay so no scan of one, and let the machine figure it out?
Was a guy that did parts years way back a Jose that was going to do a skeleton. Owned a resin company, can't remember his name was on missing lynx all the time.Maybe he could help?

Unfortunately I don't have a 3D scanner or a skeleton nearby to scan.

Could we request 1/35 and 1/16 scale ERA bricks as fitted to Soviet era tanks?

ERA bricks are doable. Just get me some dimensions and I can go from there.
