    Thanks to everyone that followed along on this build and supported my endeavors to render something a little different in 1-87 scale. As I mentioned to Andy T earlier, I think I'll try a Resin Printed Fiat 666 for my next project. I just got two of these from a "Printer" in Poland and the detail looks fantastic so it might be a "shake and bake" OOB model.....stay tuned. :thumb2:

      I have finally figured out how he does this detailed braille scale stuff. He cheats!!! He builds a 1/35 kit and then uses one of these ..

      You can clearly see it works for biscuits and all Rick has done is get the elf to stuff in his 1/35 model :tongue-out3::smiling5::smiling:

                    Much obliged 570....not as epic as your creations but considerable fun faffing about with the small bits and pieces.:thumb2:

                      I find 1/24 enough for me. When I watch what you're doing in 1/87 - just blows me away. It's simply stunning.

                          Rick my good man!!

                          That really is a most splendiferous finish. A really brilliant job. Great details. Nothing go complain about that at all!!

                          Junior happened to be walking past when I was looking at and let out a very mild expletive....in a complimentary way of course!

                          Truly excellent!!

                          PS....just a shame it's in the wrong scale! :smiling5:
