DML Dicker Max WIP

Unbelievable work Tony,fantastic detail buddy

ALRIGHT mission complete. I used two different stains for the wood but they kinda merged,i'll try that part again on the next one Wingy,Thanks

Painting is a weak spot for me and it looks like i'll get plenty of practice when the weather warms up from the looks of the bench Bodge.

Thanks guys

Tony lee

Cool stuff Tony, Once again you are creating something too nice to paint.

Took my razor saw and tried to make the jack block look like three pieces of wood and not one.

I think it is safe to say you may remove the "tried" from that sentence.

Karl: I don't know about that but i'm pretty good at talking to myself.

Boda Fett: I use a #5 and for tiny stuff a #10.

Smoker: I'm tryin

Thanks all

Tony lee

looking vary good.

May I ask what optivisor you're using? because... DANG man! Insane work there! I get etch rage after only a few big parts..... that would drive me nuts. Excellent job!

Tony, some people are born to dance,

Some are born to kill.

Others are born to speak to dragons.

You, my friend, are born to bend brass.

'nuff said.

Right fender dressed out today.

Took my razor saw and tried to make the jack block look like three pieces of wood and not one.

That's it

Thanks

Tony,

I like that headlight you decided to go with.  That Track tool is exquisite.  Keep up the solid work.

Cheers

Dave

I'll stay with it for a while,at least till it's as far along as the Emil. Working on the fender furniture now.

Thanks for following along with me

Tony lee

Should we be calling you "Mad Tony" for all your insane PE work? Great stuff.

Nice to see Max is still getting some time on the bench even if he still loses out to Nascar.

Great work as usual on the details Tony, that Devil character will get you every time if you let him start talking.

Nice....here is a WWII poster which is perfect for you.....well almost

Well....the words are right!!

Rounds Complete!!

I believe you Tony, that devil chap sounds devious.

Take care of yourself bro and keep up the excellent work.

Terry.

But the Devil made me do it Terry.

Thanks

Tony lee

Love the Emil Tony, theh max is really shaping up. You must have theh patience of a saint to be able to sit down and tackle all that brass work.

Terry.

Ole Max made it back around in the rotation.

These are the kit supplied armored head lights

but I like the Voyager set much better

I used the kits PE spare track links brackets.  A two part deal with a stair stepped base and a flat bar with a retaining wing nut. Two links on the forward part of both fenders.

Another Voyager item was the track maintenance tool that mounts on the left fender.

That's all I had time for today, the NASCAR race got in the way.

Thanks

Tony lee

I figured you had it all under control Tony. Big enough for a cat to fall through...that's priceless!

You are making nice and slow progress Tony! Like all the "bling".

I can relate to the slow part and not enough hours in the day comment.

wbill commented once that the "devil is in the details" I have made that my creed and have it printed and on placed on my bench. When things seem to moving along to quickly I read that and shut it down to avoid mistakes, let things dry or maybe comeback latter and re evaluate.

Love the flooring....tongue and groove???

Rounds Complete!!

thats alot of pe but i like it nice job so far.

Hi Bill

The boards are on runners and are the width of a 1/35th figures foot. There is space between each board but not enough for a cat to fall through.

If need be I can take my Exacto knife and make the cracks larger.

Thanks cowboy

Tony lee

Nice work on the tracks and the new floor looks good as well Tony! You might want to space them a little wider since they were meant to be duckboards and removable though vs. solid flooring.

"Jewlers" You would have better luck finding mine at the Dollar Store Thrift Shop Bodge

Karl is what I call a "PUSHER" and one of the reasons for this.

Glad you could find time to stop by old buddy,Thanks

And you too Tigerman,Thanks

Tony lee

Quality work as always Tony.

Hi  mate long time no speak so to say.

That is awsome all that bling. Can i buy one of these from the jewlers?

Really nice work Tony, too good to paint . Yer as karl said can you lower the bar a bit?

Andy.

Tracks for the Max and a new floor in the basement.

Turn your visitors pass in at the gate when you leave Please

Tony lee

All entirely plausible Tony, the issue of spares was always a matter of whatever was being produced and shipped out at the time...so the longer Max was in the field, the more likely that it would get the older style caps as wheels needed to be replaced, maintenance was performed, etc.
