Thanks , steve_pickstock!
I am following with pleasure your construction of the vehicle on a large scale. I am interested in how different the algorithm of our work is. Since I also build armored vehicles (currently exclusively based on my 3D models). I wanted to know - what exactly worries about the fragility of the legs? In what place? Where the foot attaches to the sprue?

Thank you. This is not my normal work, I usually work in a much smaller scale, by preference 1/72, but I find myself doing more 28mm these days, just trying to clear the backlog of projects. But once this truck is done, I will get back to 1/72 for the next job. I spent yesterday making some small plastic stowage boxes and I remembered why I hate making small plastic stowage boxes! :(

:oops:

You're THE Alex!

Please forgive me sir. I didn't realise it was you. I am a great admirer your work and I should not have said anything because you know what you are doing. Please forget I said anything.

Dear Steve!
There was no sarcasm in my question. I see your work and I understand that you understand the issues of strength and the risks that are possible. That's why I asked. Sometimes an outside perspective is very useful, since we ourselves may not notice the usual.
Indeed, there is a risk of breakage in two moments:
1 - when I take the casting out of the silicone mold
and 2 - during transportation.
If I track the first problem, then I try to protect the second problem to some extent with packaging.

Hello Alex, I really like your new Romans. Good to see you are back in ancient topics. Is there any chance one can buy the figures somewhere? And do you have other plans for the future?

Thank you, Jan. It's impossible to forget about Rome ))) I always do something, at least a little, on this topic. As for buying - there is a store and a group in Telegram - but I think it's very difficult for now.
