Nice build Bryan, something soothing about the Hobby Boss styrene colour….

I have this one in my stash somewhere so will be following with interest!

The Type 95 tracks turned up from HobbyEasy. Made by Fat Frog (I believe a bricks and mortar subsidiary of HobbyEasy) they are 3D printed resin. They came well packaged in a plastic box, well padded with foam. The support points are tiny and the links just snap off without any clean up needed. The l...

I’ve applied an Ammo acrylic “Pale Blue” filter (MIG-0829) to start tying it all together. E4CF6425-38EA-48B8-A563-AE802AC18F24.jpeg Next step is oil...

Thanks Dan, if my foray into 3D resin doesn’t work out I might hunt them down!

Yeh, “DS” tracks. The material is so brittle it just falls apart touching it
