Scotties Kettenkrad.

I have been working on the road wheels. The spoked ones including the idlers have been done. I have distressed the rubber tyre to show wear and tear. Also done is one of the sprockets. The first picture is a comparison of the weak detail on the kit part. Also missing from the kit part were all the bolts that held the rubber pads in place.

The pictures do show that I need to revist some of these with a bit more filler.

Those ejector marks are bad but it looks as if you've sorted them. Are those Meng nuts? you certainly need a lot!

[scottie3158]

No mate the nuts are 3D printed from a company called Liang I have not used them before.

[Steven000]

Very nice with the wear and bolts Scottie!

[scottie3158]

Thanks mate.

[scottie3158]

I have to give a massive shout out to Neil who very kindly supplied me with some beautifully printed Notek rear lights. This is a great hobby for of great people. Thanks again Neil.

Yes Richard it really was. It just shows the how great the guys are on here.

[Jim R]

I have some of those Liang nuts. Came across them a few weeks ago and bought some. Haven't used them yet but they look rather good.

[scottie3158]

They are good but use a sharp blade to cut them as they are quite brittle being resin.

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Brilliant work Paul. Your engine detailing on P4 is top notch mate.

[scottie3158]

Thank you Steve, it was fun doing the engine.

[scottie3158]

I have added Neil's printed Notek to my scratched what ever you call this bit and it looks just right


I also added the track tensioner made from an 10BA screw. Not sure if it looks right as I think its a bit on the skinny side so may re do it and beef it up a bit.

[Neil Merryweather]

Looks the Biz!

[scottie3158]

Cheers mate thanks again.

[scottie3158]

While I'm waiting for some bits to turn up I thought I would make a start on the equipment. So I had a go detailing the water bottle and mess tins.

Superb.

[scottie3158]

Thanks mate glad you like it.

[scottie3158]

Finally got some paint down. Tamyia dark yellow was sprayed all over this was then followed with some dark yellow with some white and highlights added. Using Tamyia Dark Green and brown the stripes were added. When this has dried completely it will be time to start the weathering and detail painting.


Cheers
