Then continue with more advances, the cabin. And closed.









Attention, here I made a mistake by not observe well the model and cost me a further mismatch that I could no longer correct, I had to re-open the cabin by these side



and is it clear .... by the way does not enter but the error is already committed and I have no more to pull it forward



An embedded time you have to line it with this piece





and as it was incorrectly fitted, have been some mistakes, some will be hidden



and others are not going to have no choice but to stay well



but the end result is more than acceptable ... or so I think







by the way ... if the interior is appreciated



Now to end the bottom to avoid having to manipulate the model more upside.

Indeed, the end result is more than acceptable. Nice recovery!

Was wondering about the container and small cylinders on the top of the frame in post 68. Just read a small article in 'Wheels of Time' about the Pacific and it shows details of those. They were the oiling system for the chains. A problem of chain drive was lubrication. Using heavy grease worked, but picked up dirt and debris which acted as sandpaper on the gears. Pacific's solution since the trucks were mainly off-road was mount a tank with distribution system for a total lost oil system, since the oil drips weren't a problem there. Back to our regular programming.

Another known issue with this model is the front axle, this was broken by the weight of the armored cab. Normally the vehicle was not used under enemy fire so there was another version, the Soft Cab



This unit ended his life in Spain

The model advances but many parts to build and assemble, is now well









and so I'll leave it stopped .... for now.

On 14 and 15 March I stayed with friends in the exposure of Leganes and that one of them it take to see him again so I decided to take the unfinished model but with the LCM 3 loaded .....

LCM 3

Well let's ride a model within another model, will be the burden of my Dragon and the technical side this model is better

Much more modern with a textured best that I have seen and that includes up effects wear







and the assembly diagrams ??? because they are diagrams, drawings no incomplete as it brings the Dragon





A model is simple to assemble and with few parts (for paper) with the only difficulty that here everything will be XXL

Good afternoon (in Spain ) after spending some time to build this model, I have ridden other simpler models to go to competitions, back to install new parts here.

In these months I have made a decision, I do not like the LCM is in the Dragon Wagon.





The LCM is very large and cover the Dragon Wagon, I want the protagonist is the dargon Wagon model and this project is not only can observe the landing craft and I do not like.

The decision now is riding his "alma mater" of the Sherman GPM. The set of models will be more harmonious and Sherman allows me to make more modifications like making chains of separate parts.



NOTE: Can anyone tell me how to edit the title of the post to remove LCM and write Sherman?

[chapuzas100]

Now for the small model advances are not pieces of paper, are pieces of plastic and tin and I will put a series of forums in the manufacturing process of these
shackles



Sketch for a correct proportions.



construction











test



hook





Testing building chains



construction











And so is the set assembled in the model



I hope not to stop building more and finish this model in recent months .... but you never know

[whulsey]

Great, thanks for the step-by-step photos on the shackles and chains.
