WIP Double Duty

Well so much for being the President. ;)
I worked on those things for 5 hrs and got no-where with those tiny bits but I think i've got a solution but not till it's ready to paint.

At least I didn't waste the whole day.

Did some more PE work today. Fenders are folded and ready to install,made a jack block and started working on a fire extinguisher. I even cut out some of the other parts and bent those for later all while watching the Toyota hearings. :woohoo:

Thanks for coming by
Tony Lee :)
 
Hey Tony, back up on the loading crane, how did you get the PE to behave so well on that loop? I can never fold a good circle.
 
Hey Pup. I rolled it with a 1/8inch drill rod on top of my cutting mat while pressing down.

That's one side with one to go.

Thanks for the compliments guys
Tony Lee :)
 
Wow Tony, those fender look very neat indeed.

Are you planning to bent them a little or are aiming for the new and pristine look?

Ruben
 
I don't know Ruben I guess it depends on the other side. I may just kink it here and there or really destroy the other side. :unsure:

Thanks for stopping by bud.
Tony Lee :)
 
I wish they were Golden Jose because they feel like lead right now and Thanks. :)

Well the right side is done so that equals both don't it? :woohoo:

Thanks Guys

Hey, hey Tony!
That's some awesome-looking work. How are you ever going to top this double dip?
I guess you're gonna have to build a 1-1 in your garage. But, what would it be? A King Tiger, perhaps?
Randy
 
King Tiger "NO WAY" Randy. Jagdtiger for sure SPGs Forever. :laugh:

My reference book for the SU-76 is here and it shows the exhaust pipes are heat wrapped.
The wife got me a roll of the paper tape that won't rip your skin off when removed and I cut it into some 1/8th inch stripes and tried to half wrap it around the pipes.
So what do you think, does it look the part????

With a wire warp to hold the heat tape in place.

Hi Tony

Just stumbled accross this build!!

Yeah this is looking great mate. The PE and Zimmerit are looking mighty fine. As for pipework, yes that works perfectly well. Keep up the good work.
