[Guest]

Hi folks a glorious day in the history of the world....... my 1/35 dora rail gun arrived today along with my 1/32 warhog which will be my next project. I have waited 18 months for big d and she is big, the box is 4ft long and it weighs 59.95lbs.

Love to see some pics Scott, exciting!

[Guest]

59lbs is a lot of plastic, how many pints of cement will you need? How many gallons of paint?:laughing:

[Guest]

OK you got my attention as well.

Andy. the reason its so heavy is I believe that most of the kit is resin and there are a few metal bits as well.

Scott. I hope we can look forwards to a build thread on this one.

Ye gods you're a brave man for tackling that thing!

I'm curious as to how many pieces it's made up of?

[Guest]

I'm with Ian, I'm sure so many friends like to see a thread of his building.

Cheers

Scott heres some decals for this beast...Peddinghaus-Decals PDH1538 Dora Railway Gun Markings (PDH1538) GreatModels Webstore

I also found that Ambroid proweld is the best glue to use.The hoist pulleys need to have 4 lines, not the 1 that the instructions show.

[Guest]

i was thinking about using hot melt glue can anyone tell me if this would work.
