How to be an Armoured Farmer, building Hobart's Funnies in Glorious 15mm (and maybe 28mm if they arrive in time!)
AVRE Bulls-horn Mine Plough Build Cont'd
Once I was happy with the mock up I pinned it out onto the cutting mat and then drew it in with a fine marker pen. I then cut up sections of 1.5mm I-Beam styrene section and cut the ends to match the adjoining section. I didn’t worry about the web of the I-Beam at this size, as the glue would fill in any gaps.
Once fully glued, I carefully took the finished rig off the cutting mat (it will stick a bit but nothing a careful sharp scalpel can’t deal with.. I then cut a couple of 2mm lengths of 1.2mm styrene rod and glued them to the points the guide plates would fix to. I finally blue tacked the finished rig to the AVRE to check the look and fit.
