mackd Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 You know my passion for details. I did the real transfer box a Rockweell the Sicard had. There is a small difference between the two, the modified Sicard is a bit more recent. Unfortunately when they are installed, you almost can't see them. http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a561/AlainBradet/2 Snow plow Sicard 1951 - 1961/P1140879 640x480_zpsaodfdadp.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truckabilly Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 That´s awesome work so far. I like the details you put in your build. The trans cases do look great! It´s true that they won´t be visible too much once mounted in the model but I like your approach. Can´t wait to seeing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackd Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) Construction of the cab. There are a lot of radius on this cab. To make these radius ext I stick a rod 1/8 "x 1/8" inside, then I machine this rod with a ball nose to make the inner radius.

mackd Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) Here is my Advanced on this Sicard. The hardest part is completed. The cab is quite complex in reality even if it does not seem at first being seen. I am very pleased to have succeeded on this model make the hinges of doors of .8mm. I had trouble with the rear Hood, I used the factory method, but there is a big difference between the styrenne and sheet metal. I used the styrenne of 0.020, but he has no memory and is not folding. I used a 0.030 in him making small respect for folding. I managed to get the desired curves. As I had in mind that the styrenne I have worked a lot for nothing. If I had thought to use aluminium I have not had this problem. This coin was manufactured by the Papyhobby.com development section Edited February 10, 2017 by mackd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejunkman Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Liking this project! It makes me want to try and build my FWD with SnoGo blower seen here. But I don't know if I have the skill for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
