hello out there in MHO land. i have paused the Hellcat cos the paint wont do what i want it to do.......so I'm in a strop!!!!!!!!1 Had this planned for a while ever since I got the use of a 3D printer. the pics show the basic hull and inside is a 1/35 T 35 I scratched many years ago as a size comparison. I have increased my shares in Plasticard.com  in front of the hull is my first track link, it is perfecto!!!!! I have my son to thank for sorting the software and guiding me through the possible(probable) issues. just 200 more to go!!!!! thanks for having a look Quality of pics not so good, sorry! bill     |

Been working on the suspension today. A very repetitive session which has taken a lot of measuring and cutting and cussing!!! We have progress though and I have dry-fitted one part of the spring assembly, one half of the springs in place (see pic,top left). the wheel rockers are marked out on card and ready to drill and shape. This is going to be a marathon build but will be worth the effort I hope!!!!   bill |

More work done today. the wheel rockers are done but require a 3.5 mm lip all round and the Evergreen rod has just arrived to make the springs. The upper deck is 75% complete. Once that is completed I'll start making the wheels for the suspension units and after that...................who knows  thanks for your interest bill  |
