I like reading build threads and posts. Youtube is great but I am older so reading and snapshots are just fine with me. So I think I will do some build posts here.
So, as stated in the previous post, my GM asked me for a truck hauling a flatbed for an upcoming session. He asked me to do it cheap & fast "like those helicopters". Different scale, different needs (has to hold up to stacking 28mm figs on top, etc.), but minimalist is fine.
I grabbed some stacks of cardboard thicknesses, some balsa strips, and some styrene sprues from a model kit I'd done recently, and set to thinkin'.
A ton of image searches later I had the drawing I wanted and scaled it to roughly fit 28mm. (Remember, all this is by eye.) Printed it out.
Grabbed my bag of balsa strips and some sharp things and prepped for a chassis.
All hail white glue!
