I'll jump in for this one. That's gonna be a huge build! Obviously, lots of questions, but I'd rather see you build it, than type answers on here. Good luck mate 👍

Watching!
If I remember right I used the manual of this kit to find answers for my questions during the build of the Aerobase strip down.
Good luck and have fun with it!

Thank you for the comments!
Model is now completely finished and I am going to take some pictures of the result.

Hello everyone!!!
Just some new pictures.
I took so many pictures that I am going to make a youtube video of this. As soon as this video is online on Youtube I will post here!

That, sir, is a formidable build!
At 80cm wingspan, it would definitely take over, my dining table!
I was honestly expecting around 60cm?
Kudos to you, for your efforts, and a medal should be awarded to your wife, for the countless hours, you dedicated, to the entire build 👍

Gotta be something going on with SM, Bob? I didn't provide a link or anything? It's a bloody awesome video though 👍

I think you win this weeks prize for most heavy duty modelling tool. 😄
Looks a very interesting conversion.

> I think you win this weeks prize for most heavy duty modelling tool. 😄
Probably, yeah 🙂 It's a metalworking lathe, so a bit overkill for just turning down the seam on those wheels, but I didn't feel like aching fingers from scraping them down with a knife — I get those even when I hold them in a modelling vice, never mind just between my fingers.
> that kind of set up can tool a real bogie!!
Having seen a disassembled Sherman bogie up close, I must say I think this one is a size too small for that 😉

@Mr D: that's not the welds yet, it's just the filler needed to plug the gaps 🙁 I'm still debating how to add all the weld seams.
@Ben M: An M2 screw, about 2 cm long, through the hole in the wheel, with a nut to tighten it. It needs to be fairly tight else chances are the wheel will stop as soon as the chisel hits it. On Asuka two-piece wheels, you need to do this before assembling the parts, because the hole on the piece to be glued in is smaller than on the part that has the tyre moulded on it.

Thank you, I can envision the setup. I have a small lathe and arthritis in my hands, this technique could help me a lot. Thanks!

Regarding weld's l have seen super glue used through a fine tip, you need steady hand n move in pattern to create weld.
Sorry l was looking at the resin 🤔🤣.
Good stuff be keeping eye
On progress 👍👍

@Ben M: What also works is a modeller's vice. Clamp the wheel in that, scrape down the seam with a straight knife over a third or so of the wheel, then unclamp and turn it, and repeat. If I scrape more than about two or three wheels by hand, my fingers ache enough that I have to stop, so the vice helps a lot. But you also get a lot of plastic scrapings all over your modelling area, so this time, I figured I'd put those in someone else's hobby room instead for a change 😉
@Mr D: Hahaha! The ones on the resin were put there by Resicast 🙂 But I'll now have to make ones that look similar, or at least not out of place next to them. I'm thinking a thin string of two-part epoxy, textured with a sharp tool.

Good video 👍, the finish on the flat plate work looks authentic, l think it's had better rough cast look from the brush stippling before he added the putty coat.
Good idea on the weld , epoxy putty best as regular epoxy levels out again.

I've begun to add the weld seams now — see photo 23 🙂 Basically, Magic Sculp two-part epoxy putty that I mixed up a very small amount of, then took even smaller amounts from that and rolled it as thin as I could in my hand before pressing it into the join between the parts. Getting it to stick there is tricky, especially once I began texturing it with the tip of a knife — it wants to adhere to skin and steel much better than to plastic, unfortunately 🙁 But with a bit of perseverance it does eventually stick.

I see some heavy duty equipment here and a lot of elbow grease... Good job so far, Jakko! Keep it up!

Thanks, though this is fairly straightforward. The most difficult part was finding a good way to curve the splash plates, really.

So beautifully done - I hope you have a diorama set up for it to make it pop out even more!
