Ridge Rider Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 A few staged pics with the exhaust. It will fit better when glued. Thanks for looking-Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvadrag Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I just found this thread last week and it has taken me a few times viewing to soak it all in. This is a great build! I love the subject and the fine craftsmanship on display. What a project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridge Rider Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 Hi everyone, thanks for the continued support. I'm still making progress so it's time for an update. I got the flamethrower done and I'm pleased with how it turned out. I still need to paint and detail the wood posts the the armaments sit on but it's looking right. These parts are not glued together yet, just staged for the pics. I have all the plumbing done, not going to try to stage that pic. I found this solder to be close to the right size and easy to work with-it's almost an 1/8". I made patterns of my bends in light gauge wire but still ended up making about a half dozen each to get it right. Yes it tried my patience. I'm working on the glass using this technique, Thank you Tulio. I used two windshields to make the pattern for the wider glass and decided to do the stock one as well. Like a few things on this build it's taking several attempts to please me but it's getting closer. Fabrication is very close to being done and primer should be on the way. Thanks for looking, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridge Rider Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 Thanks for the continued support it is appreciated and helps with the motivation to get this finished. It is time to give an update- I have had paint problems but hope to be moving past most of them The chassis is very close to finish and major painting is done. I will share lots of photos of this stage as reference for anyone who wants to or is building this. It's getting there, thanks for following.

89AKurt Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Great study of how you have focused on sub-assemblies, models onto themselves. Some of your project should inspire me on WIP that has been stalled, appreciate your work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
