DML Dicker Max WIP

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

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

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

Rounds Complete!!

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.

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

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

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.

But the Devil made me do it Terry.

Thanks

Tony lee

I believe you Tony, that devil chap sounds devious.

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

Terry.

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

Well....the words are right!!

Rounds Complete!!

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.

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

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

Tony,

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

Cheers

Dave

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 lee

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.

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!

looking vary good.

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

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.

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

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

Unbelievable work Tony,fantastic detail buddy

I think you guys are right about me getting good at this PE stuff. Out of twelve tool clamps I only put two of those horse shoe handles into orbit,one on the floor and one on the bench.

I didn't even have to look for them,they give you extra,but i'll find them when I go to looking for something else later.

I think i'll get me a glass of prune juice and celebrate.

Tony lee

See what happens if you have too much prune juice!!

Rounds Complete!!

You're a lost cause you know that?

Where do you get this stuff?

Tony lee

Very nice detail work as always Tony...I don't even want to know why prune juice is a factor though!

Left fender goodies. If you see holes under the tools they will be filled because I shaved off the molded clamps. The shovel is done too,it goes where you see the two holes in the casement wall.

First time i've seen the tool clamp handles to the inside but that's what the instructions tell you to do.

Sure glad that task is finished

Tony lee

Great work going on there Tony.

Guess your right about the devil.......... hes in the detail.

Terry.
