Super-Pershing

[frankie]

...the PC’s away for a few days being repaired so 3D printings taking a rest...so going “old skool” with the plasticard..

That's what I like to see, back to basics

Looking great so far Frankie

Frankie, what thickness did you use? Wanting to do my own.

How did you make the counter weight? KV-1 tracks? Do you have to ditch the headlights?

Sorry for the barrage, but I think you're are a pretty great source!

[frankie]

Lol...right from the top...
I used 1.5mm, 2mm and 3mm plasticard depending one where it went,
The counterweights made from plasticard..
I use KV1 tracks as it gives it a more ww2 look...they’re slightly too wide but close enough for me (yes there are correct tracks available, but they’re beyond my budget..)
I’ve seen the super-P done with the headlights mounted on the fender...haven’t made up my mind yet...

Frank just the person. Not related to your Pershing as I have seen one of the others you did. My question is do you still have any of your build notes for Sherman rocket pods. Doesn’t matter which as I will attempt both eventually

[frankie]

Lol...build notes?...what are they?....I just wing it 99% of the time..

[Exhibitedbrute]

There something that many people here have apparently. But I know what you mean by winging it

[frankie]

...coming along nicely...

[PershingLover]

How did you do the recoil springs?

[frankie]

...they’re styrene tube with 3D printed fittings...
