Fishcarver says Howdy!
Sergei has been out in the extreme east of Siberia, testing the latest models of Tractor Plant equipment against the giant B.C. banana slugs in the garden....I kid you not....Mrs FishCver turfed a 4-incher off the deck just yesterday. YUCCKK!!
Seriously: Ken, Kevin et al: it is good to hear from you folks; high time I got back in touch! Summer is not exactly high time for model building up here in Canada
Turning road wheels out of birch, pine dowel etc is not a difficult thing to do: You need a good saw, preferably a band saw. I'll post a little tutorial shortly. Personally, I'd rather put up with the minor "BirdSheep" of cutting/turning wheels outta wood than building them up out of cardstock. But that is just where I am at now.
A couple of personal notes:
Ken: Your Sherman looks just great; and I cannot wait to see your work on the Dragon Wagon. You have a "job o' work" before you're done with that model, but I have no doubt that you can pull it off! If you figure that I can help, I'm here.....also, check out the build threads on kartonnbau
Kevin: Keep up your great work on your armour. As indicated to Ken, above, PM me if you figure that I can be useful to you.....
And yes, we can always use 1:35 Soviet figures........
More interesting stuff to come!
