Worst part of building Armor?

Modeling Subjects Armor
1

Id say its making those really boring road wheels and stuff.

2

Yeah, road wheels can be tedious. My Panther has 32 of em!

[#ditto] on the road wheels. Maybe it’s just because all of the instructions are set up that way, so constructing the wheels is allways first.
One other thing I don’t like; choosing which one to build when you have so many choices. [:D]

4

Road wheels(especially ones with rubber) and the tracks.

5

I would have to agree with roadwhells but there is the zimmerment coating that is a pain too.

6

i can agree with roadwheels, almost picked up the mobelwagon today until i looked at the roadwheels, no thanks on that many.

7

Road wheels. I like half tracks, and they certainly love packing them in on those puppies…

Roadwheels, tracks. … empty interiors.

Ok so far since road wheels are the main thing, would it not be great if the pre finished stuff would apply to them. Just pull them out of the kit and they are ready to go. I could go for that.

  1. Not enough funds to get that new great kit.

  2. And Roadwheels!!!

11

Yea, premade roadwheels, dat would be nice…

12

I would have to say breaking PE parts.

Ever try a Tiger 1 Early version?! I always go through torture just puting the 30 something wheels on! One time I used super glue to glue the whole suspension and wheel assembly together and glued one side’s swing arms the wrong way. Yep, took more time to fix it than to build the model itself![:(!][banghead]

14

I have to say painting road wheels and DML indy track links. [V]

15

Premade road wheels would be nice. I liked the Academy M60 kit. It came with vinyl caps to fit over the roadwheels. Saved me the trouble of painting the rubber road contacting rim. At least that…

16

DML Sherman Indy tracks !!!

17

Putting it down and going to work. [:(!]
Also knowing I have the photo I need but being unable to find it. [X-)]

18

DML individual track blocks. What a pain, they sure look nice when done though.

19

I have had it lucky with the road wheels on the few kits i have done, The thing i hate is when just as your about to put that super small peice on you drop it and it is sucked into a blackhole and now you stuck trying to scratchbuild something to replace it.

Heck on any model: sanding and filling in ejector pins marks, removing mould seams!
On armor specifically: doing individual track links, but if done right are worth the effort!
