First I hope I did this right .If not it can be viewed in my gallery . .
This will be my 1 st attempt at scratchbuilding .If i didn't post it I will never build it .It would end up being of the other 6 trillion ideas that are in my head . that never leave so they don't get built.

Looks promising. Very doable

This will be you first scratchbuilding ever or your first completely scratchbuilt item?

I ask because I think it´s pretty big for a complete scratch-newbie

Of course this doesn´t mean you shouldn´t try, you should only be aware of the fact that this is quite an ambitious projekt.

Happy modelling then,

This is my first time scratchbuilding any thing .I already have the tumbnail , it's not at scale as of yet ,still trying to figure out the measurments. And how to work out the conversions from real to scale It's giong to be 1/35 scale.

Wow!! That is pretty ambitious for a first scratch build. You may want to start smaller and work your way up to something like that. If you start too big and complicated, you can easily become discouraged and abandon the project.

Do a google search for scale model calculators and you will find many on-line and downloadable modeling calculator programs that will convert from actual size to any scale you want/need.

Good luck.

I don't have the real world measurments to convert to scale as of yet but i'm working on it if i can't find it (as they say : i'm going to shoot from the hip ) and make
the measurments my self. This is going to be apart of a dio .I'm only building the radar .

I have had good luck with Quick Scale. Link below:

It's a simple size conversion program that is easy to use. Hope this helps.

ya can try and find specs on the radar unit, usually just type name of it into search engine, and look form there
