This is something built to destroy. I can't wait to see where you go with this.

I definitely appreciate the feedback! Thank you to each of you.
The question regarding the styrene and cutting with scissors. Best tool is Xacto blade, straight edge (or cutting board with brace). Depending on the thickness of the plastic, you don't have to cut all way through. Mainly scribe along the straightedge until comfortable that the you've cut deep enough into the styrene sheet and carefully snap the pieces apart. Aligning the pieces just takes patience. Sorry don't have much of an update. Just minor work: Turret gantry. When completed it will wrap around the back, from door to door. Some minor detailing. Working on decal overlays and display designs. Biggest dilemma. Waiting on electronic components from another source. Can't seal up and finish the turret/cab without finishing the lighting/displays. The same with the main barrel. Hopefully the stuff I need will come in next week. Meantime I'm working on an exciting large scale build. The 1:18 Invader Inter-Atmospheric Craft (IIAC), Zhūróng zhÃ*njiÃ*n (warship). When run into situations where running short on material (electronics especially) I'm going to start working on more 1:18 invader figures, human resistance and civilian figures, and simple custom vehicles. |
