Kerojp8 Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Good to see you're still at it! Are those weapons in scratch-built in 1/32 or are they 1/35? If they are 1/35, you can get FN MAGs much easier than converting a SAW, which is a completely different weapon. Many kits contain M240s or L7A2 GPMGs, which are essentially FN MAGs. Hi Moritz, You're right, the weapons are 1/35, and I did not notice the L7A2 was far more suitable ! I checked my boxes and unfortunately I only have one L7A2 in 1/35 and will have to get another one. Thank you very much for pointing this out !

Najk Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Actually had this one on visit at work earlier this week, and I must say your work is impressive! I'll follow this build closely, looks awesome so far! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenshb Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Not an easy project by any means... How did you make the quilting in the ceiling and cabin walls? Jens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kerojp8 Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Hi, Thank you for your kind comments Not an easy project by any means... How did you make the quilting in the ceiling and cabin walls?Jens Well I used the inside top cover of Nestlé "Ricoré" available at supermarkets in France. This is coffee powder for breakfast, and the aluminium top cover depicts that quilting very well in 1/32nd scale. Cheers, Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
upupandaway Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 C´est un travail magnifique que tu nous montres ici. Very well done. I had first thought that you´d put the quilting onto the metal all by yourself but now I remember that here in Germany there are some products with a similar surface structure, too. Great thing - I gotta remember that. Keep up the great work! :thumbsup: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
