Impressive scratchbuilding effort Dojo!!

I have a fond affinity for this vehicle and the T-55 and plan to build a few of them someday (well, at least I have the kits). :)

I look forward to watching your progress.

Sp Designs kits;
T-62(turret set) Don't remember which one I used.

This is list at this time, as maybe in the futures it will grow. Will keep you updated on the list.

At the moment all work on the T-62M is stopped as it needs to be correct. After which will post more information.

[DOJO]

Andy this is for you, as rememmber you said that you are going to do one more T-55. And this may help.

UPDATE BELOW

This is not finished detail, this is how it's going to be when it's finished.
Any one else interested?

Thanks Ruslan, please ellaborate on how you did the strenghtened T-55 wheel!!

Thanks
Andy..

ps, were these just used on the T-62`s, or some upgraded 55`s?.. :)

First, find a tube like Evergreen that will fit. Then cut o-rind.

Second, make marks with blade#11 or use what ever you want as long you wont wipe it out as you'll need this marks. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635//T-62M/DSC04035fw.jpg


Third, cut it out. When you'll be cutting it try to cut it closer to the center past the marks. Then sand it so that white tube will go in and that's where the marks came in handy as it will show how much you'll need to sand. If you won't do that you'll have a chance of having it off center(photo shows wheel that was sanded).

Fourth, inserted center piece into white tube. Center piece will need to be sanded so it will fit.

Additional information;
Here's the photo of the o-ring that I told you before.

And this is the tube.

I hope this made every thing a bit clearer.


Fifth, place the o-ring on the second road wheel and make marks. As you'll have to open up the hole so the tube will be able to fit inside it. You can just ignore this step and the next, as you can cut the tube a bit shorter and just glue it.

Sixth, used a tool like dremell to open up the hole. This is how it will look after you finished doing it.
