Getting closer to my first build. I will be using a 1/4" thick clear acrylic base to attach the trucks.
This is necessary for support of the trucks. However, I will laser cut out the acrylic to match the under carriage see below.
Top view showing clear acrylic cutouts to match the underframe design; There will be some tabs and slots created to fit the undercarriage into the acrylic
None of this will be visible as the tanks conceal the acrylic from above see below:
At the same time see Top View above the underside view is not impeded.
