Update, I dont have the Masters for the track links so that idea is a no go. The WIP Shadomobile is the Master shell prepped for moulding. And the ashtray is well wicked.

Superb job! How do you go about working out the scribing, and what do you use to get it?

All the lines are first drawn with pencil then using a p-Cutter I gently scribe.

1st Pull. Sand to the almost perfect lip on top and bottom, Lay the top on the bottom and drop the cabin in with the brow and ridge taped in place and hey presto you get this.

Cool, not familiar with the tool. Does it give a straight groove, or a V shape ?

Its a V grove, Just type in P-Cutter into google and you will find it.

Is there a list of the kit parts used?
Meaning the ones needed to complete the replica?

I know there's the Tiger Joe tank and 1/24th Revell Gemini.

Well Theres a set of parts you can get from Uncle models, beautiful castings in White metal and resin, These will make your Mobile complete.

unclebilloram@aol.com

I used those on my last one and seriously you cant tell the difference.

I'm more at this site, and the more I desire to take on new techniques and materials. Your work is going very well.

New shell is on the RC chassis. By that I mean its locked in at the front and just need to make it secure on the rear. I want to improve on the last method used.
