Getting away from tanks a bit, trying something different. Was just going to build dozer but then thought, why not combine it with the only other model in the stash that is the same scale {1/25} so I decided to put it in a vignette with a 66 Buick Riviera Of course I will have the Big Cat crushing the Dickens out of the Buick Lots of nice engine and chassis detail on both kits so will have to figure a away to position them so as to show as much as possible also have to figure a way to realistically crush car. A real challenge which should keep me busy during the hibernation season. Not forgetting my version of the Falaise atrocity, between them both I'll be keeping the work bench warm until spring...........Jim

A lot of scope for some interesting destruction here Jim!


Perhaps a watch of the original ' Italian Job ' will give you some car-crushing tips!

CRUSHER!!


This is going to be great!


I wonder if you could warm the body of the car up in the oven till its soft, but not sagging, then do the crushing bit?

[grumpa]

Thanks guys and Monica, was thinking of something along these lines, but I'd like to do a broadside crush instead of longitudinal

Pavement or dirt base ,don't know yet, I like the dirt idea because I can sink the car into it to better convey the immense weight of dozero_O This just hit me! I will need an operator if it's to be a live action snapshot so to speak. Will get busy on E-Bayops:

Maybe some of you 1/25 ers out there can help me with a driver/operator figure for my dozer. Keep running into seemingly dead ends on line Jimo_O
