indydog Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 (edited) Like Neo said, just use the and and I've found some of the links the photos places give you are crap. Very nice by the way. Edited October 20, 2009 by indydog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GretarBill Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Thanks guys! :) I have to try this trick when I load the next pictures. When ever that will be. :) BTW Indydog. I have that same Renault you built. I did mine many moons ago! Best regards Grétar W. G. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Baker Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I fixed your first post, so that the images show up correctly. You can press the edit button and you can see how they are set up, so you can do the same in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GretarBill Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Thank you so much Adam ;) Now I know how to do it. Best regards Grétar W. G Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark M. Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I'm sorry I missed this post! I would have like to have commented earlier :wub: I think you'll find it's quite an interesting little build. Dry fit many times. Also, I had some problems with the height of the treads vs the height of the front wheel. It was off the ground by a noticable amount. You may need to mount the treads higher (cut off the pegs) or mount the front wheel lower (remove the locator pin and carve away at the mounting point so that it has less plastic and sits lower on the model). I also angled my "down" a bit to compensate, but this gives it an odd look. I must say your front fork detailing is astounding, given the 1/72nd scale! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GretarBill Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 Thank's for the info Mark and your comment about the fork! :) Grétar W. G. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GretarBill Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) Hi all ;) The tracks and wheels on the model needed a little work. Two wheels are to deep so I made a cast of them with silicon rubber and made four new centers for thoese wheels with epoxy glue. They are a little rough but it dosn't show that much when painted etc. I also thined the plastic behind the wheels to open the space between the spikes. Grétar W. G. ;) Edited December 19, 2009 by GretarBill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
