WOW! You are scratching those parts? They look awesome.

I would have to expand on Alan's comments: This is SCRATCH?????

Holy cruds!!!! Just how in the heck did you do the louvers (pic #3)??? Utterly impressive! And can't say no more!

Seeing these again Roger has confirmed that apart from scale (you 1/25 me 1/35) we are two of a kind and both as mad (insane) as one another LOL.

Once I build my vac form box and start vac forming, as per your guidance, I may just be able to make curved parts as good as you.

Cheers

Super! I had a feeling that we were looking at Vacum formed parts!

Caspers back in the groove !!!!!
Nice going --terrific pieces----
I make my louvers by using tube ---cut length +soften and pinch end -----cut into quarters---no "dig-out "needed----- ---saves my digits (see Maz)---my 2cents worth
Like the brass backing on springs ------will remember that-mmmm!!!
Glad your back on the road --

Bravo. Working in this scale you should have a lot more detail then we are able to achieve in 1/35 scale. I love what you are doing here. I will be looking forward to more in progress shots. the radiator and cowling pieces are superb. My hats off to you and your talent.

I am very impressed! It's big, it's scratchbuilt, it's a truck, and it's soviet!! I would love to see it as a ZIS-42, but do you have sufficient reference for it? I built one in 1/35 and had very little to work with, unless you buy some books from Army Book there is almost nothing on the web. Anyway, great work, your parts look very good, especially the frame. Keep us informed on this project. Hope to see it done soon.

i`m very impressived Your job.I love 1-25 ,but never run into Your level.Great!

This is great stuff Roger! I'm looking forward to seeing more.
