What do you use...Great idea on the plastic tubing. What do you use to make straight cuts? I've had an ok time with my miter box and razor saw, and I just got a Chopper II tool but haven't had the chance to use it yet.<br /><br />Thanks for the tip on the scale. I also heard something about 1/56 being the most common tractor scale, but that seems like it might be small. I'll take a look around.Pick A Damn Armyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333087508205636705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7903885120623809466.post-49773615680376043352009-12-09T08:56:25.263-08:002009-12-09T08:56:25.263-08:00I thought of six wheels, but they were too spaced ...I thought of six wheels, but they were too spaced out and didn't look "right". I am keeping the length due to the plan of putting an operation table w/ servitor-medic within.<br /><br />For a smaller scale, more fitting to the 40k scale, I would recommend 1/48 (as 1/32 is a little big).<br /><br />As for the autocannon; I got sick of being limited to the weapons I have on hand so I looked around the hobby store. Selecting two plasticard tubes that fit smoothly (not snugly or tight!) I now have bitz to make lascannons and autocannons for around $3 (Canadian).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12561460368260577970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7903885120623809466.post-12289870158808804772009-12-08T23:08:17.513-08:002009-12-08T23:08:17.513-08:00I just discovered toy tractors myself.

Thanks for posting your pictures, it's just the kind of reference I needed.<br /><br />The autocannon in the hellhound is a great idea and I love the wheels you have. What would it look like as a six wheeler? It seems a little long at the moment.Pick A Damn Armyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333087508205636705noreply@blogger.com
