R2-D2 & R5-D4 - Update for R2
Andy K replied to Andy Moore's topic in Work In Progress - SF & RealSpace
Loving what you are doing with these droids Andy, top notch stuff -
Ahhh I understand! You would need to secure the ends of the copper wire in a vice or similar and twist with pliers, making sure you keep the tension.
-
Use picture hanging wire, available in various thicknesses from a DIY store and nylon thread for the thinner cables

"I can't shake the feeling that it would look good painted up in an International Rescue livery" Yep that's exactly what it reminds me of, something that would have appeared in a Gerry Anderson tv show My Miniman Factory one is actually built as I finished the build last night; http://andykingsmodelblog.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/ss-23construction-complete.html I might even get around to painting it sometime before Christmas lol

Impressive stuff Andy once again! I must admit I do like your work -
Is the Airfix 1/48 Lynx HMA.8 fit really bad ? DECISION MADE
Andy K replied to Rickpadwick1801's topic in Aircraft Modern
To be fair ANY kit is going to have fit problems somewhere so filling and sanding is part and parcel of modelling I'm afraid. -

The direction vanes for the missile in the Miniman kit were laser-cut card and are very good. I don't know whether it would be worth emailing them to get some as they would look better than the Hobbyboss ones, then again I mailed them about some missing parts from my kit and never heard a thing http://andykingsmodelblog.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/ss-23-teaser.html (Link edited so you don't have to trawl through all the other stuff)

Yes those are the lockers! Behind them there should be three air cylinders each side for the braking system plus the hoses, you can just see them in these shots; http://photo.qip.ru/users/tosik83/115920929/143805589/#mainImageLink http://photo.qip.ru/users/tosik83/115920929/143805587/#mainImageLink

Yeah there ARE pictures kicking around the net (cos I found them) but I'm damned if I can find them now. Try searching for SS-23 Oka, 9K714 Oka as these results throw up a few foreign language sites but the pics are there. If not pm me with your email address and I'll send you a couple Edit; ah HA! Found it!! http://www.zona-militar.com/foros/threads/ss-23-spider-y-irbm.20520/page-2

Interesting! I'm close to finishing the build of the Miniman Factory SS-23 and seeing these parts and others online the Hobbyboss kit looks awfully similar. I wonder why?
