What's on the Bench? 2021

[Mini Me]

Hi Mark, the canvas tarp was a discard from a Ford 3 tonner that was used for another build. The joys of leftovers! Just a slight bit of filing to get it to fit properly.....my measurements were off a few thousandths of an inch. The bed was supposed to be the same dimensions as the one for the Ford......my bad. Glad you like it. Rick H.

Got into scratching stuff myself recently Steve,so very interested to see how you go about this
Looks like a cracking start which will be a great base to work from
Excellent stuff indeed mate.

Got some color on the Borgward B 3000 so I'll post it up in the completed softskins when she's done.

Man I love close up photography!! I'll be taking care of that "glaring" joint where I spliced the bed back together after shortening it. Amazing what shows up when you get the wet stuff on! Rick H. :thinking:

You going w/5ton or 3ton wheels/tires?

Some old Heiser models newly found in the stash. Starting clean-up.

C&Cs encouraged. PaulE

Hi Paul, actually these are in between, a standard 3 ton wheel is .425 in dia. and a MB. 4500 (4.5 ton) is .467 dia....these are .437 dia. difference is .012 or a scale 1" not enough to worry about and the added bonus of the proper wheel type as opposed to trying to come up with a viable alternative? I'll play this hand.

Stunning work my friend. Close ups help me a lot in sorting out mistakes. Keep up the great work
