eh up all,sorry for bein away for so long soft lad had forgotten his password!numb nuts....
BIG THANKS to jase for helpin me out!!!!
well since the last post i`ve been workin on the port side mandible detail,
first off i made the backin plate with the 2 angled pieces which stick out of the top and bottom of the plate,and started sketchin up in rough where things should go.
here is a close up of the bit of detail i already started before i located where my little devils in kids clothes had put it.i made these bits with the carcass of a pen for the panther gun turret lookin bit,white milliput for the axle lookin bit and a mixture of half and 1 mm thick styrene for the rest.
well i just carried on workin my way through all the front end just for ease
of the job and to get more done,eventually i got the front finished off with the addition of one of my kids lollypop sticks(plastic) and one toffee apple stick from the local fair(wooden)and here is an image of that.
and one of the whole front end.
and finally i started but unfortunately not got far on the gearbox end at the back of the mandible,i drew up the detail on the base plate and started to made the new base plate for the gearbox section,i had to break the bit of the build into 3 sub sections just again for ease of the job.here is the base plate with the sketchin on it.
and next the gear box base plate but only 2 parts here though.
here is where im at now,i`ve made the rough shape of the mid section and started drawin and cuttin the circular design of the gearbox.
well that`s it for this post,once i get the mid bit made i`ll do another work update...cheers all......especially you jase BIG HUGS!!
see you all soon.....peza
