Modellers At Work / Re: A Less Annoying HO Project
Last post by finescalerr - April 29, 2025, 12:52:10 PMVolker, I'm afraid you'll have to stand in your own corner. Nick's is undergoing cleaning and renovation.
The reason I stopped publishing, even online, is money. Most hobbyists want money for photos and articles and that means publishers need income from advertising and subscriptions. Any publication focusing on good modeling, online or on paper, would have such a small paid circulation and so little advertising (if any) it would be impossible to stay in business for more than one or two issues. If it were possible, I'd be publishing on this website right now.

Last post by finescalerr - April 29, 2025, 12:39:06 PMI think ALL of us are as interested in military models as in any other kind. A good model transcends genre and your modeling is exceptional. Please post anything you do as often as you like. -- Russ

Military Modeling / Re: Back to the roots
Last post by Peter_T1958 - April 29, 2025, 11:37:54 AMI am fully aware, that this is not THE military modelling community, but perhaps you might be interested anyway 
As I wrote before, I would like to improve all inaccurate parts of the kit. This means traditional scratch bulding and PE parts but in particular 3D designed parts.
Alas, what remains of the Tamiya hull and its components is not that much, just the basic shell.
Front and rear armor are CAD designed parts, also the suspension, final drive, wheels, sprokets and idler wheels ("my" Centurion had dish style idlers).
I also did some first tests in texturing the rolled armor plates, no idea what will remain at the end...
And there are already some new components waiting to be printed:
That's all for the moment - now back to the work bench!
Cheers, Peter
