Very sharp and crisp work!

congratulations on a fine model! :thumbs_up_1:

Jim Baumann :wave_1:

great work, congratulation :thumbs_up_1:

Not in the same class! But here is my 1:35 Trumpeter LCM and half track on the water.

Yes, I would love to do a scratch build in 1:16...

You have done a super job on the LCM .I know it is RC but a pilot would look good to finish it off .Are there any 1/15th figures that you could modify ? :woo_hoo: :worship_1:

Hello everybody,

thanks a lot Norberto !!!

This is some pictures of sailing with my Half Track :

Hello Richard,

Unfortunatly, i have no many pictures of the built of the ramp :

This is the ony i have. All is in plastic, 1.5 mm in general, streep evergren 2.5x1.5 mm, 1x4 mm but the mounting is very rigid!.

Alain

The ramp is super .Any photo's of how you made it ?

Very impressive, Really wonderful work.

John

Hello everybody,
Thanks all for yours compliments!

Lucky, i use a neopren glue. One layer of glue on the two parts, you wait 10 mn and Hop, you glue the two parts together. Becareful to a good juxtaposition, because the grip is instantaneous!

Alain
