“In 40 days you’re done…” thanks for putting into a layman timeline 😂 This is going to look awesome, I mean cork bricks? Yet another level Rick and excited to see what’s next.

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

I'm glad that at least one person heard that!!! Thanks for watching...and listening.

[@SmallSoldier]

This is looking great Rick. I'm really digging those cork bricks... lots of time well spent IMO. This is going to be epic.

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Thanks 👍

[@mrapka448]

So far so good! Can't wait till the end result!

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Yep, as you say...so far, so good. Thanks for watching.

[@Bryan-cs9to]

Looking excellent Rick!

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Thank you kindly

[@JALEO1970]

That's a lot of work but it's going to look awesome!!

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

I hope so!

[@TheModelGuy]

This is a master class. I’m learning from you pro armor guys that the base is just as important as the model

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Hi, and thanks. Yes the base can be important and if you decide to make one, you should take it seriously. But more importantly....they are fun to make!!!!

[@ProjectSimusFlorida]

Nice job as always Rick. I’m noticing our styles are similar but yet different I love watching other modelers and how they approach different situations. And looking forward to the next episode.

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Thanks, Glenn.

[@Barbarossamodels]

Love these videos Rick - short, sharp & concise👌That pre planning really worked, compacting the scene into that small area. Agree with you about the tedious work, cutting out all those bricks & scribing the cobbles… strangely therapeutic all that, just put a bit of Spotify on & you’re away 😄🎶 Really liking the reference pics too, great video 🙂👍

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Thanks 👍

[@markedwards4616]

[@lmmodellismomilitare]

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jacobrichards8359]

I'm building some Stalingrad terrain for a buddy and I'm definitely referencing these videos

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Thanks, Jacob.

Hello Rick. Quick question. Where did you get the Fredrick the Great figure? Was looking something along those lines. Remember I need Shadow Brown😃

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Shadow Brown is "So Yesterday"...LOL! Hey Jim, good to hear from you. I got that figure off of ebay, just searching around on the Googles (images) and it turned up, and then I started to follow the trail. Sorry, I don't remember the name or address.

[@heinrichengelbrecht5220]

Awesome job Rick... may I ask what dimensions the tram tracks were that you used (I beam plastic strips) and how far apart you lay them opposite each other. Hope it's okay I ask. Love your skill

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Hello Heinrich. Of course, it is ok to ask!!! As I mentioned in the video I just made a very rough approximation...basically using what I had on hand. The width of the ruler that I used as the straight edge is 1.5" or approx 3.1cm - the standard size of an US ruler - which is the distance between the rails. The plastic half-round strip I used I'm not quite sure...I used what I had. I believe it might be .60mm? In the final installation, I applied a thin strip of plastic .10x.60mm (I believe) to the bottom of the .6mm half-round, thus the illusion of an "I" beam, or track. These dimensions may be off a bit, but it would not be by much. As I said, I was just making an approximation of what "looked good" without any measurement or research. I hope that this helps.
