Good to see that the original model scales so well How are you geting on with the wheels and rims?

That’s awesome! And bloody huge!

I’ve been fighting a printer problem today so I’ve not got much done..
I’ll have a play with the wheels tomorrow Martin

That Deuce is COOL

I been plodding with some more truck models!
Started to bash up my Willys a bit, plus i got loads of pictures from being in Normandy so i can get the accessories just right for this odd 1/11.5ish scale thingy


MAN Kat1 8x8 chassis in trials with JJRC diffs

thick axle grease needed to help traction off road

MAN wheel adaptors



Still working on a Custom Zil 131 8x8 logging truck for myself
Long way to go!

Few other projects on the go aswell, but we have time for those later

New Bits & Bobs






Fits really nicely on the JJRC Q65 Willys Jeep

Just need to get the wife to paint them up now

Will, what’s going on here then??

I’ve been busy with the Deuce this week, the cab has been primed red then grey, so I can see when I should stop sanding lol.


3 cans of olive drab have been ordered.

I’ve been scaling up Tiger6’s Deuce 3D model (cheers Martin), the load bed base is one piece at 1/16, but at 1/6 it’s circa 600mm x 400mm x 25mm thick, it would take forever to print & would use a bloody scary amount of filament.
I printed the frame for under the load bed & CA’d it to a sheet of 3mm plasticard.

I printed some 3mm high spacers to go between the base & the sides, when all stuck together it’s a very rigid structure, this also leaves a nice area between the sides for a sheet of 6mm hardwood plywood, I’ll cut that tomorrow hopefully.
I’ve also managed to make the tailgate work


Well, that’s it for this week, I’m printing wheels at the moment.
This is where I’m up to...

1/16 Land Rover for scale

Panzer III for scale


Cheers
Wayne
