Stug Question
Even in 1-87 scale, the lowly StuG. was produced back in the early 1960's. I purchased this one for around $.039 as a 14 year old "collector" of ROCO Minitanks. The applique armour and other mods were done years later in the '80s. These will always have a place in my heart as the memories...- Mini Me

What's on the Bench 2023
Figured out an alternative to buying trailers for these large Autocar tractors I have had hanging around.......so, you take two ROCO trailers and you cut the back side off both, except you have to cut them so when you put them back together the end product is 4 feet (in scale) longer than when...- Mini Me

Rick's 1-87 Scale 3D Printed Fiat 666 Cargo Truck
OK......back at this and I must say I have saved the best for last. Finally lost the other side mirror while trying to fit the interior "blob" into the cab! I have been at this for a few hours now and it is like trying to "stuff" 10 lbs. of :poop: into a 5 lb. bag!! At any rate I will be able...- Mini Me

Vallejo Airbrush Flow Improver??
Just wondering if this has been tried for brush painting? I recently came into a whole 200ml. bottle of this stuff and am curious as to whether it would be useful in brush painting my little guys......I don't put anything but enamel paint through my A/B, so I'm hoping I can find another use for... -

Rick's 1-87 Scale 3D Printed Fiat 666 Cargo Truck
So....this little beast is a handful!! Nothing fits as it should, so far I have had to drill or file every part in order to get any kind of reasonable fit so I can eventually glue this thing together once all the paint work is completed. Until then it's "cut cut here" and a "snip snip" there...- Mini Me

Rick's 1-87 Scale 3D Printed Fiat 666 Cargo Truck
The Jury is still out on this guy Lee but overall it appears to be dimensionally correct. there are a few little lines in places but they sand out quickly. I have to be extremely careful, this thing is thinner than egg shell. I checked the thickness of the tarp for the cargo bed....... it's...- Mini Me

Rick's 1-87 Scale 3D Printed Fiat 666 Cargo Truck
After this thing was released from it's cage, I was able to get a closer look at it and it appears my work will be "cut out" for me as this little beauty has the Mumps or better described as the "nubs"!! every one of those little support fingers has left a nice round raised blob of resin at...- Mini Me

Rick's 1-87 Scale 3D Printed Fiat 666 Cargo Truck
Here it is out of the "cage" and into my kit box. I might add that it does not come with a windshield or side windows, no spare tire and no accessories, pioneer tools jack, fuel cans etc. Fortunately the good Mr. Merryweather has seen to that and all will be available on the finished model.- Mini Me

Rick's 1-87 Scale 3D Printed Fiat 666 Cargo Truck
After considerable pressure from this "crew" I'm going to blog this build. Background first......been wanting one of these for years so when I spotted it on Etsy(other sites are available) from a Polish 3D Printer, I said why not! It was very reasonably priced and shipping was cheap as well, so...- Mini Me

What's on the Bench 2023
This is what's currently under consideration........not sure I want to do a build thread on it, my first time doing an all 3D printed model and am not sure about fit, finish etc. not to mention it did not come with anything in print to suggest how to go about getting it out of its resin cocoon...- Mini Me

Rick's 1-87 Scale Trident Jagdpanther Conversion
Hi Guys, so I think this one is now done. Here's a "Teaser" shot with the venerable Vallejo bottle for a size comparison, as requested by the good Mr. Lovell. I'll post some more shots in the Armor completed section later on.- Mini Me

Detail painting just about finished. Decals on and sealed. Black wash applied, when it's dry I'll do the final details and weathering and call this done. ;)- Mini Me

Latest Acquisitions (2023)
Found this listed on Etsy for the ridiculous price in the lower left corner of the image so I ordered 2 of these Fiat 666 trucks in 1-87 scale. This company is in Poland and the quality of his printing in this scale is "baby butt" smooth with all the fine details in place. The best part is...
