Wow Katsu-san.. Now thats is some progress...
Looks good as always..
I am curious what you will think of with the ladder on the roof..

And for the replica's .. WOW, didn't realise there where these type of airsoft weapons.
Those are some serious cannons...
Sadly to say they are restricted to clubs here in The Netherlands....

regards,
Jim

Hi! Thanks Jim-san.

The ladder on the roof is the stairway to observation tower.
I'm thinking to put the little bridge like submarine.
If it might not fit, I will fix there an hatch to just go out to the roof.

The best of my favorite rifle is the one in the first pics.
That's Cheytac M-200. They say it's the most powerful and accurate long range rifle system ever built.
.408 Cheytac bullet can penetrate a half inch thick steel plate at 2000 yards. and mine's 8mm BB can penetrate a cardboard at 20 yards.:facepalm:lol.

Jim-san, how about to build a big gun? I'm going to build the futuristic sniper rifle with some pipes and aluminum plates some day.

All the best,

Hot busy days.
hardly get a day off but here is a little progress.

I had to think of this a long time but now I seems to have an answer.

This is a toy of fire engine I bought at a local one coin shop for several month ago.
I thought I could use this ladder some time later..


Brake down the



Made a sliding boarding ladder and its housing.



And this assembly goes into the bulge fairing.



And this assembly is going to fit in this place.



This fairing is pivoted at the outer bottom edge and flip 180 degree to open like this.





Pull out the boarding ladder.





Extend the ladders.





It may need a retractable handrails to climb up/down safely.

This is it this time. Sorry for the less progress but I had to squeeze my brain for this little gimmick.

Thank you very much for looking.

That's so cool ! :thumbsup It amazes me how you keep packing parts Into this jewel. very nice add on Katsu-san...

 

[Caretaker10]

This last squeeze of your brain is fantastic Katsu-san.
Not a simple fix you made there.. The perforated aluminum plate you added makes it look so real..

Keep up the good work,
Jim

Edit> Building one of the Airsoft rifles will have to wait.
I got me a new project.
An 6x6 rc nitro car.. Made from 2 4x4's.

I should be used to seeing yet another brilliant bit of innovation in your builds, but I still end up staring, open-mouthed, at your updates.

Brilliant and beautiful

Running out of adjectives! Very clever solution -the piece is really coming together.

Total paint scheme is not fixed yet but I may have to start to paint some inner parts here and there.
It might gonna need a lot of masking tapes anyway. XD

Thanking you all the time, sean-san. Well, I may have to clean up my messed work space and wash the paint brush and airbrush.

Another great design with great function. What I love about your builds is seeing your imagination, creativity and skill flow and become something real which can see and enjoy.

Randy-san, it always nice to hear that my friends enjoy watching my work.
I may have to think about a few more things to be done but the finish line is near.
Thank you very much for your every comment.

Hi! Dart-san, thanks for stopping by. And thank YOU for looking at my work.
I need a strong force from you all.

I will build another boarding bridge for the other side.

Now I can see the goal line.

Thank you again,
