discussion Motorized 15cm & 10.5cm elements on the move

I never did well with Roco figs. My best use for them was seated in a closed vehicle with a different head if possible. Yours look dam good. Rick H.

Rick, apparently they were confused before settling on a scale as early stuff was sometimes closer to 1/76 or 1/100 besides 1/87. Their Africa Corps kit of figures was pretty good. That's where the squad leaders came from. PaulE

Thank you gentlemen. Rick, I think Volmer. I'll check. Got it at a train show. Self adhesive backing and flexible rubbery material. PaulE

Paul, I've counted at least 24 figures walking ! God knows this many in the vehicles. That's some score when it comes to painting them all .

 

[minitnkr]

At least another twenty-four in 15cm stabs & trains Dzohn. Will start finishing up 15cm battery next. Another bunch of figs to fool with:smiling2:. PaulE

 

[minitnkr]

Working A element of the first battery. A quick dozen figs for crews. PaulE

Looks good Paul, like the rear storage on your late 7. BTW, was the Vollmer cobble stone peel&stick paper or plastic sheet? Rick H.

 

[minitnkr]

Thanks Dzohn & Rick. Not sure if Volmer, but it is a foam type flexible material once paper backing is removed from adhesive, so if you're careful w/underlayment & placement (really sticky), you can have irregularities. Very cool as it has curbs modeled in. Nice stuff overall. PaulE

 

[Allen Dewire]

Sorry Paul,

I just can't keep up with you and your madness. Looking most excellent Sir and did you get to order the LT1 Yet??? I hope so and keep the batteries coming!!!...........

Prost
Allen

 

[minitnkr]

Thanks Allen. Sale of truck fell through, so no LT1 yet. First pair.


C&Cs welcomed. PaulE

Looks great so far Paul, keep it coming. Went through my train catalog and couldn't find anything that looked comparable. Yeah, the curbing is what caught my eye as it made the surface appear multi-dimensional instead of flat, dead, untextured cobblestone paper which is what you mostly find these days. Any information would be helpful. Rick H.

 

[minitnkr]

Thanks. Still looking Rick. PaulE
