Very fast delivery and Dom is always ready to listen out for anything that is not listed.

Oh. My. Cheezus...
I'd seen Dom's eBay shop that has a couple of items, but that is an overdraft waiting to happen.
I already have a stock of styrene and happily used it in the past, but never integrated brass details before. Is there a preferred supplier for the bolts and hinges, or do you scratch build them too
However, I’m getting ahead of myself as my first tank bits won’t arrive until Friday...
All the hinges you see are scratch built from sheet brass annealed and bent to shape over brass rod. I also use brass tubing cut to length and attached to brass sheet or bar.
Cheers,

Each of his years are fifty of ours,his eyes are the size of dinner plates, he has no nerve endings, and I am very concerned that he will be repatriated to his home planet before his Abrams is finished..............
