Thanks to you all Boys. I've started on the interior and hopefully it won't give me as much hassle as the body and chassis has. We will see, I'm sure.

Is knitting hard to master? I think I'll quit modeling... Jaw dropping detailing, Jeff, if I didn't know it was braille scale, I'd be easily fooled.

Wooooooop, they just called it. SNOW DAY That means a Bonus Build Day. Here's the first question. I'm thinking about thinning the walls on this Little Puke. As you can see they are VERY thick They measure 1mm. I'm calling out all you math Guys. About how thin should they be worked down to,to be 1/72nd scale?

Hi Jeff,
Happy to see you are taking advantage of the impending snow!!
Well...size? At 1mm think right now puts the side plates roughly at 2.8 inches thick in 1:1. I am not sure how thick the side plates should be in the real world. Do you have this number kicking around?

9mm is thin in the real world...Almost too thin to replicate in 1/72 as it would be like using typing paper on the sides...with that said I would say if you were going to thin it down, go as thin as you can without compromising the structural integrity of the sides and rear. Half of what you have there should suffice and maybe taper there top edge slightly to give the appearance of the thin side walls.

Post by imatanker on Feb 5, 2014 15:38:53 GMT -5
Neems, I believe your calculations are correct. Cause that's just about how much I'm gonna TRY to remove. Lu, yeah I know, not much Brotha. It was more of a "see if I can do it" thing. You should be able to see some of them. The tops open on this thing. That's why I'm messing around with interior a bit
