http://lists.csua.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lMy TOE for my 25mm
SG platoon calls for one mortar vehicle. I'd like to use
a modified Wombat APC as that is the APC I am using for the platoon.
My thought was to fill the void with a resin pour. Then I would cut the
troop compartment off and carve the cutoff surfaces.
Questions:
Is this the best way to go about it or should I make a mold of the
wombat
and fill in the parts I don't want with modelling clay?
If I do the hack and grind method what is the best way to cut resin?
Will a
hot-wire cutter cut it? handsaw? I'd think a circular saw would be a bit
much.
Can I carve it with a wood-burning tool or will I need to use a dremel?
Just FYI I will be ordering 4 more wombats to use as APCs in the near
future. I'm not planning on molding any extras.
