SA-2 & Transport

[M1Carbine]

So finally after getting everthing set up.................sort of. I had to crack a box and start getting styrene poisoning.......LOL. Up next



On the plus side I have doubled thew size of the model room so its still kind of a work in progress. Some of my Hobby Zone desk organizer stuff was here today (supplier is now hobby world in New Hampshire) my stuff earlier I ordered from Poland has not yet arrived.





Got some cool looking book cases that will double for display purposes.



Any way the parts are drying after a good wash and will get to some building in a bit.

Not only are you back... You're back with a "You don't see that everyday" entry.

[Tojo72]

That should be very interesting.

[M1Carbine]

WiingNut - Thanks buddy, had this one for a while figured it was time.

Tojo - Im hoping, got some of the engine done and should have some pics up soon

Time to get that workbench dirty! Nice choice of subject Bob.

[M1Carbine]

Bill - thanks buddy.

SWEEEET!!! Love the display case and new man cave. Glad to see you settled in NC despite the hurricane.

Sorry for being late... you definitely have my attention on that build!

[thug626]

Good morning Brother,
I know I posted here…then poof!…maybe my mind has finally gone poof! Anywho, dang glad to see you back at it. And, a flying telephone pole at that!

Andy - all settled and still adding stuff to the man cave. Feels good after some months to get my hands in some styrene.

Dave - my brother, your mind has not gone any more 'poof" than mine...........wait......that didn't sound right.

So progress has been good, had a cmaera issue that finally resolved itself......still a bit perplexing but shes good now. most of the chassis, suspension work is completed and getting fiddlies mounted.



engine is not bad but one problem with the kit being an older trump is that the part attachments to the sprue are way heavy and injector pin marks are deep so the engine will get covered up.



I ordered some more Hobby Zone organizers.



Great product and now you dont have to order from poland anymore and give them your youngest to pay for shipping. HobbyWorld-USA is a stocking dealer now and they are in New Hampshire. Two day shipping and its at your door. Have two corner pieces on the way and 111 slot paint rack for all my Vallejo paints.

Should have some more shots up soon gents.

Nice progress on the chassis Bob! I really like those organizers.Need to get some for all my paints and brushes.

[Deano]

Cool subject mate , luvin the cave too !

[wbill76]

Good to see you getting a good start on this one Bob. Can't ever bee too organized for the tools of the trade.

[M1Carbine]

Leon - thanks buddy. You have to check the website from the manufacturer and some of the setups (hobbyzone.pl). Insane model bench setups.

Deano - thanks buddy

Wbill - thank you bud. I agree, oranization is extreamly important. I figured the stuff i use constantly needs to be in front and ready. The toolbox helps and does have a ton of stuff in it but its items and tools used occaisionally.

Bob

[thug626]

Very nice progress brother. Thank you for the 20 on a stateside supplier of Hobbyzone products.

Dave

[TRM]

Solid work on the hobby room and the kit!!

[M1Carbine]

Brother Dave - no problem

T - thanks buddy

Well disappointment loomed when i got to the trailer portion of the build. It was Sooooooooooooooo badlt warped it was beyond any form of repair. So at least I got a Studebaker look alike Russian style out of the dea.......lol









Well on to the next

Bob

[dupes]

The entire trailer was unusable? I better go down to the basement and check mine out.

[wbill76]

Wow! That has to suck big time Bob. Sorry to hear about the trailer...must've suffered in transport along the way somehow.

[deafpanzer]

Sorry about the trailer... Just make Ed make you a new one from scratch. LOL Great looking truck by the way!

[M1Carbine]

Dupes - it was really bad. I didn't really look at it as I was focused on the cab assembly. I figured out what happened. When I had stored this on the shelve in the garage it was on the end and at ab out 11am to 5pm it was in direct sunlight all day, sat that way for months. I have about three other kits I have to look at, these may be trashed as well. Thankfully when we moved all my stash are on shelves in the back of the garage and there are no windows on the garage door.


Bill - huge bummer. Even the SA2 was so bad not even hot water would have fixed it.

Andy - Should have made my own but holy cow, work is just eating me alive. If I asked Ed I would not see it for about........................NEVER! lol


Bob

[thug626]

Aw damn Bob! That absolutely sucks. I was pretty throughly bummed when I read the news of the warpage. This started out so well.
Might I recommend a Tamiya kit during the mourning period.

Brother Dave - Dragon in proces ?
