I try to get scaled plans of the subject and a scale model is a must.
I measure the part and just scale it up.
When ever possible I will trace the part and enlarge the part to scale and use the drawing as a template.
It just takes time and patience.
The hardest thing to do is when...
Well it has been over a year and this project is finally done. The master is almost complete. I just need to make the turning indicators on the side and she is ready for molding. Of course after the Horten.
The back doors swing open and shut.;)
To tell you the truth I do not think that I would ever agree with you. But you are right about the truck.
I broke the front wheels off just getting one out of the box. When I lifted it up to look at the damage I snapped off one of the light guards with my finger.:eek:
Incredibly fragile...
I am pretty sure this will ever happen.
I will cost about $8 to ship to you . So that will be about $42 for the model.
They are selling for $75-$100 without shipping.
There does not seem to be of any interest but the Ho-229 prototype is done.
]Now it is time to break her down tweak it up and prepare for the mould making.

You have a whole lot of questions.
1. This model is it kit form. Kind of like a model kit you would buy at a hobby shop.
2. Almost every piece on this kit is scratch built by me .
3. The texture on the turret is supposed to emulate a rough cast style turret. I use Bondo glazing putty on the...
It depends on the complexity of the piece. Every time I make a pour a little piece tears off ( tiny )
Some moulds I have gotten about 40 pours before the mould breaks down. sometimes only 10 :eek:
20-25 pours is the average .
Most of the time when a real big chunk tears out that is the...
1. The 222 kit does not come with decals. It has no interior but the gun platform takes almost all of the room in the turret as does the original. So you can not see anything in there.
The head lamps are solid resin but you can hallow them out and use a plastic lens.
The 2229 has taken a...
Ohh..
Yes some what . Better wheels and back passenger seat and of course the side car.
In the pic I thinned out the front fork and cut out some of the plastic around the rear frame and fender area.
I also slotted the head lamp for the black out look.
That will have to be done by...
I am not sure if anybody cares but the Sdkfz 222 and Indy sidecar moulds are shot.
I will probably remake the 222 moulds next month and the sidecar moulds may be done next week.
I know there has been a lot more interest in the sidecar moulds and I have about 8 kits on back order. I know...
