Dick,
I wish to have in 1/35th scale a model kit of the U.S. Army Land (Overland) Train used in the 1950's in Alaska. I have always dreamed of building a kit of this if it where ever issued. The train was used to haul supplies overland to Alaska by the U.S. Army in the 50's and very early 60's. It was solid for scrap after it was not used. Some of it's very large wheels have been used by the famous monster truck "Bigfoot".

Well Mark as always you keep cranking out the models. Well done on this batch I must say. Love the weathering on the truck. Keep um coming. :Smile_sceptic:
Try Tack spray glue. It is use to bond laminate counter top material to wood when making counter tops. You find it is a spray can at any local home store.
Noel,
You have done well my young JEDI friend. You must now resist the Dark side (Airplanes) and follow your true path of Armor building. May the Force be with you!!!! :Smile_sceptic:

Just received my latest AMPS Boresight issue. This is a special issue all about small scale armor (1/72).
IPMS's very own Mark Deliduka (a.k.a. The Duke) is featured twice in the issue. On one page there he is, The Duke with a big smile on his face. Still reading thru the issue, but for those of you that can get you hands on a copy it is a very good issue. Even thou I model mainly in 1/35 scale it still amazes me how these guys and gals do it. My eye sight is not what it was and my big paws get in the way sometimes. So congrats Mark and hats off to you and all that do small scale armor.
Ok this is the second model completed this year for me. This is the Academy 1/35 AAP7 kit. I built it OOTB and added antennas and the rope bumper and rope tie off. This was my second test model using the AK interactive products. I used the NATO weathering set. Ok now back to the more involved projects. Enjoy and as always comments welcomed.

Here is the first model completed this year. It's not much. It is the Dragon Sd.kfz. 251/1 Ausf. C rivetted version kit 1/35 scale. Basically OOB. I did add wire for the antenna & wire for the headlights. This model was a test bed for the AK weathering products that I used for the first time. Enjoy!! and as always comments are welcomed.

Nice progress. You (as always) have more done then me. So far this year I have zero models complete and several contests are coming up fast. Life is taking away from modeling this year for me. Thanks for sharing your work Mark I love seeing how you and others take models from start to finish.
