Title: Short soldering side project
Post by: Bughunter on September 30, 2017, 07:16:09 AM

Hello,

In case you wonder about missing progress on my Lebed, here are a short impression of a weekly side project.
From time to time I'm doing also modern things, even if WWI is my main topic. I even have egg planes in my stash ;)

This time I scratched, milled and soldered completely made from brass a trailer for a modern weapon:

Wheels made on lathe:

Colored trailer:

Will be back soon in my build report.

Cheers,
Frank

Thank you, my friends!

The project (this is a Taurus KEPD 350 on trailer) is finished, so I'm back to my other projects.

I couldn't have said it better. It's obviously no supermarket cart... but it looks brilliantly done!

Thank you, my friends!
It was not that easy, to get the trailer in shape without a plan. I had only some pictures. The missile was a kit in my stash.

It is a bunker buster missile, more like a plane, with folded wings and a jet engine. Now South Korea own some and can fire it from a F-15.

Cheers,
Frank

Really REALLY nice work Frank. Both the trailer and the missile look very real.
