M-113 bodging - batch 2, part 2

The 2-inch thick insulation board is then cut into M-113-size blocks. 

Then it’s marked up for cutting to (more or less) shape. Don’t worry about the details - just go for the most obvious features.  So the slope of the front plate is cut first, then the ‘corner’ trimmed off below. At the rear, the main slope is cut in from the top to the track guards. The area between the track guards is then cut out. 

I solved the problem of the wheels and tracks by finding a side-on view of an M-113 on the internet, scaling it to 1/48 scale using MS Publisher (I expect it could be done in MS Word too) and then ‘mirrored’. I printed the results on to 100gsm white card and having trimmed them to shape, glued them to the body with PVA.

Leave to dry overnight.
