SimonT - 1/72 MasterBox Mk1 Male

[Jim R]

Morning Simon
Springs look well worth 4 hours. As Tim says another 4 hours and you'll have them done. With practice you might even be quicker - say only 3 and a half hours :rolling:

I'm very impressed with all the extra effort you are putting into this build. I'm not sure my patience would hold out this long.

[SimonT]

Jim - you were right. Rest of them are not taking quite so long

Colin - thanks :smiling5:

Well done Mr T. They were certainly worth all the hard work and effort.Great stuff

[Steven]

Fantastic super detailing at 1/72 - well just about any scale really - love it.

[Jim R]

Hi Simon
Has your trademark work all over it - that's a good thing. As Steven said it would be good whatever the scale but 1/72 gets you a few extra brownie points and a few grey hairs no doubt.

Ian,Steve, Steven, Jim - thanks

Have made a start on the track link press Mk2

It is half done - I hope to finish it off and try it out tomorrow

Good Lord, Simon...even my eyes are trying to adjust to the photo. Looks worth the effort but I hope you're not going to cover it up with all the mud build up. Would be a shame if you do...all that work and all.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Richard - yes, it will have mud but I will try not to obliterate everything

finished making the track link press and gave it a test

photo shows the two part press, some blanks and a few finished links

they are not perfect but I don't think I can do any better at this scale - the blanks are 7.5x3.5mm pewter

once in place and blathered in mud they might not look too bad

need to knock out a lot more.......

[rtfoe]

The track link presses are brilliant Simon...can I have some in 1/35th scale please, thanks.:smiling4: Seriously I think they look good and the thickness would be more to scale.

Cheers,
Richard
