1/35 scale model work

[cliff]

Thanks Howard.

IMHO my modelling skills pale before the skills of the people who do 1/1 rebuilds

I'll add more as I slowly continue this one and many thanks must go to those who willingly measure the real things for me to work to.

next step was to add pouring sprues to the cowl. These are the gaps to pour resin into the mold. Hopefully these will do the trick of getting the resin to form the cowl in the mold. The smaller sprue on top of the windscreen is to try and prevent air pockets forming in the windscreen frame during pouring. This will be cut off once the part is demolded.

This will be a two piece mold so next step is to set up the mold box and use clay to blank off one side as one half of the mold is poured using silicon.

Cliff, your work is excellent as always, and has long been an inspiration to me as a builder of model Aussie vehicles. If you've ever bought any MouseHouse products, you might have seen some of my work.
So the big question is, are you able to produce some extra MH axles that I could buy from you? My nearly built No.3A tractor needs some. And while I'm asking, do you know what you will be doing for the 18 inch wheels/tyres?

Keep on building,

Allan

Hi Allan. Yes I purchased the conversion set for the ICM Ford V3000 kit from Mousehouse along with decals for the Diamond T Wrecker, Aussie Formation signs and Vickers light tank stuff. Nice mouldings BTW.

I have ordered a resin set of Diamond T wheels from Libor at Mirror/LZ models as they are approximately the correct size and I will make new centres for them and add filler for the larger tyre size and make tread. If that does not work I will try to make my own from blanks using my dremel and a lot of swear words LOL .

About to de-mold the first cowl and axle pour this morning. Happy to do a deal with you with parts etc. I have PM'ed you my email and phone number. Always happy to talk. If you phone mornings are better for me please.

That's great Cliff, I'll be in contact.

Cheers,
Allan
