Braille Scale Chally II

Post by Stikpusher »

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot???!!!
Stik is building a Braille scale kit? Yes, one of our AMPS Chapter members is sponsoring a 1/72 GB over on our club website and even donated kits from his stash for any participants. They are due to be completed in the first week of December, and since I’m running out of time, I started this today...

So basically this thing has about the same parts count as an early 70s 1/35 Tamiya kit like their M41 or T-34/76. But these parts are sure molded to modern detail standards. I see that 1/72 has come a long way since I last built one. But in typical Dragon fashion, the fit has some issues. I needed a few swipes on some of the road wheel holes with a needle file to make sure they would go on. These things fit tight! Anyways, in abou 20-25 minutes of snipping, sanding stick swipes, and gluing, I got the running gear on and Step 1 completed...

Step 2 tomorrow....

Aye, there be dragons here indeed! But not beyond training of course.

Thanks guys. I’m glad that your watching this.

Seeing how my work life has taken a severe left turn due to an emergency situation, 12 hours on, 12 off, days off cancelled, and I’m on the night shift, throwing off my body clock, this is my sanity escape for now. A small simple project. I can nibble at it a half hour at a time here and there.
