1/87 Semi-scratch 8ton halftrack w/3ton Bilstein for Mr. T

I'll take plastic any day.......in our scale fine cast resin parts are fragile at best. Good recovery, hope there are no further mishaps.
Liking your progress so far :thumb2: Rick H.

Paul. Looking good sorry for the mishap I always hate the brittle Resin in 1/87 just one of the reasons I left that scale

Slow progress as etch is almost as fragile as resin. Lots of 2 fwd 1 bk. PaulE

That's shaping up nice Paul. Hope to see more soon. Rick H. :thumb2:

Progress so far. Still messing with cable/pulleys for boom as kit doesn't supply all parts needed. PaulE

[Steve Jones]

It's been quite the challenge. Your certainly making good progress

[minitnkr]

Some more progress. Slow, but trying not to force steps back. PaulE

Hi Paul
A bit late in - sorry. Great idea. Resin can be very fragile but often it's the only game in town. Looking very nice. All those ropes and pullies would try my patience.

Hi Paul, I'm late in too...apologies. That's a wee SDKFZ and crane marriage you got there. Progress looking good.

Cheers,
Richard

I think I'm looking at the biggest reason I've never attempted to build one of these.......very "fiddly" stuff, but I have seen you master this sort of thing in the past....old hat, right? Loving the progress, keep it going Paul. Rick H.

Paul,
That is a great looking build mate.

[minitnkr]

Thank you gents. Trying to hold up my end. This train thing is addictive. PaulE

[minitnkr]

On the home stretch now. PaulE

[Lee Drennen]

Paul. Very nice you did a great job on it actually looks bigger than 1/87 very convincing

I really like the way it sits......looks like it is under a pretty good load, I think these cranes were pretty heavy by themselves so adds to the realistic look. Rick H. :thumb2:
