Re: Scratchbuilt DUKW
I remember that on my first try (16th version). I didn't consider the side profile of the nose needed to be longer from the 2D plans. Easier on the second bigger DUKW (lesson learned). I spent many hours fixing the little one's nose.MonsieurTox wrote: ↑Fri Nov 07, 2025 11:55 pm I was not happy with the shape of the nose. The middle was not going low enough so I had to correct the profile to get a more accurate look.
The more I looked at it the more it was bugging me so I had to find a plan.
It ended to be a 3 days of work (about 25 hours, from start to finish, redoing the CAD, printing the parts, cutting the hull etc...)
Tremendous work Mr Tox!

Why can't we get things OK the first time?
Unlike, there won't be a second one so my test bed is also the final iteration of it.
Thank you for your kind words guys!
