Default RE: Pershing Build..........Slow Roast


ORIGINAL: tankfanatic

Putting those wheels together look like a pain in the butt! I dunno if a Tamiya is for me, looks like a lot of work, except I'd be paying for it rather than get paid to do the work! lol Just kidding.<div>I like what you've done so far the interior really adds truth to inner beauty! This is really interesting and you have some great idea's/techniques I myself haven't seen posted on here before. Two questions regarding the acid dip, really, who hassulfuricacid in their homes and how many bodies have you disposed of with it? Again, I kid, I kid!!I like the pressing in the nut tool, gotta remember that when I redo my kv-1...might come in handy! As for the thingy you made for your speaker box. It looks cool and that's all that matters right? I think I read you saying that you might put this up for sell so you could build another one, you may have been joking but it's apparent this is gonna be a masterpiece when it's done, if this build turns out the way I think it is I may have to nudge you into seriously considering the sell.</div><div>Afterall, it looks like your building this for me anyway.LOL</div><div></div><div>Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing more from you!</div><div></div><div>T.J.</div>
lol! T.J. I like your sense of humor!

I'm glad some of your are finding this interesting. I'm trying to make this build unique, but I personally don't think I've gotten to that point just yet. Hopefully the interesting stuff to come will be more on the outside of the tank rather than the interior.
As for the acid, uummmmmm sorry, kill count (zero) until it can be proven otherwiseAlso, I can't really take credit for that tool. You can actually purchase something similar for 1/35 scale models which is a rivet stamper. I first came up with a home solution when I couldn't justify paying an upwards of $30 for something that I think I can make on my own. So give it a try in any size, it's great for simulated rivets and nut details. For rivets, you'll actually need to use a different method or piping to have a rounded top. For that I use knitting needles.

As for selling it....I'm glad you have moreconfidencein me that I have in myself, lol!


Dan, thanks man. It really means a lot coming from you!
