The engine looks good, I got about as far as you did with the body (but in 1/25) and kept seeing new things to do and things to correct, every single time I went back to it, now; I think I would have to have the actual measurements in order to have the desire to spark it up again; I just think if I'm going to do a replica; I want it as exact as possible - having just the basic general shape of the thing; wouldn't thrill me that much; the body is very complex & it's got to be dead on; or it just isn't going to look right & any little mistakes will really show.

I just wish I can get the pictures directly with out the links like before.. If you use the 'direct link' it might work - just paste that in between tags like this: [ img ] *link* [ / img ] But with no spaces...and if it works itll look like this:  EDIT: It did work! I didn't know if Photobucket would do something weird if I did that, but nope, it worked! Off to look at the pics! |

This is REALLY cool bud - AMAZING scratchbuilding! Just beautiful craftsmanship - I can't wait to see more! You guys are braver than me, attempting to scratchbuild the Roach Coach - like ZZZ says, that's a TOUGH shape to replicate (as I bet 3dscaleparts would testify too...) Great work! |

Sure Scratch!
So, you know when you click the link to the picture it loads up Photobucket and on the left it says "Photo Hosting Links". The fourth box down says "Direct", and if you click that it'll copy the link that you need to make this work.
Then, come back here, type [ img ] (without the spaces), paste that link from Photobucket then type [ / img ] (without the spaces too) and then when you're finished post the post and they SHOULD appear
