LOL. I need to get my desk cleaned off. I have four or five kits to photograph. Getting behind in that department.

Using this raining morning to take some pics. I added the Bandai Hetzer and Jagd-Tiger along with the Tamiya M36 Jackson and Honda CB750 to everything.

 

[jcoffman99]

When you only have enough silicone for half of your mold. Lol

 

[jcoffman99]

Added the Bandai 1:48 Jagdpanther to everything.

Does anyone know how many parts are used from the Tamiya 1/35 M551 Sheridan. There's only the hull used on the engine bottom of the Galactica. Curious about the parts used on the Falcon.

There are five different pieces I've found so far with multiples of them used.

Thanks man, I just went back through the maps. I didn't remember that the hull was used on the back wall between the mandibles, and it's a cut part on the bottom. That sucker shows up in several studio models. Guess I'll hold on to it, ; )

That's the mold I posted above. Going to try and make a copy before I cut it.

Yea, I never cut a kit part unless it's cheap and easily found. Some of these guys make me cringe, how easily they can cut up a $ 500 kit, lol. More power to them if they have the cash. I'm way too tight for that. My grandfather would come back and poltergeist me, if I did such a thing,
; ) It is easier and cheaper to use original parts, but only the non rare ones. I just bought 9 more Flakvierling Ah 52s, cause they were super cheap. And molding some of those parts, would make me pull out hair, lol.

 

[swgeek]

The 551 is used on the TIE-Fighter as well.

 

[bwayne64]

I just noticed it's also used on the Death Star Tiles as well. I definitely can't sell this sucker, ; )
