Something a whole lot bigger than those rifles put those wounds in that Tyrannosaurus.

Very cool stuff.

Good Dan , good , just have to be careful when installing the engine , dry fit everything .

Also be careful installing the front panel it’s a tricky fit and if it’s off , it will screw up the alignment of everything else body wise down the road , dryfit ,dryfit .

I should have included this in my original post but only remembered it cuz you asked .

Weapon 2010 , held em against the metal shade of a heat lamp , not all in one go though [ you’ll bend the rims ] , just long enough to then press the tire against a wood block to see if the plastic moved , Rinse and repeat ……………

Glenn’s clearly a master of heat-treatment, unlike myself. I kept screwing up trying that, resorted to an alternative method – cut off the lower portion of tyre and sculpt a blob of putty into the desired shape. Takes much longer of course, using a bunch of fine sanding sticks…
