Hi, first post here , just wondering if anyone can point me towards a comprehensive build diary or resource for  a list of  materials and dimensions of parts to order in abs plastic  to make a 1/13  scale  classic build . Have had a look at a fair few scale builds on here and haven't come across anything.

Welcome to TB.

Not sure if anyone's done an abs plastic build.
Most of the models I can think of are 3D printed, or made from some kind of wood or board.

When you say "classic" build, can you be more specific?

Regards,

Russell

Thanks for replies , I'll have a look at a few more model builds , it was just thicknesses and sizes for building up the panels and posts  I was looking for really, just to save some time on scaling from drawings . Am thinking about either a Brachacki or Newbery build .

What kind of scale you're looking for. Same as the characters options toys or the big chief studio's action figures?

Those, i think, are the main scales you will find out there. I might do à Brachacki tardis at some point, i'll post about it here when i will be making this, you can see the 3d model at différent scales

Ye  ,the character options scale but 1/13 scale rather than  their  slightly undersized version .

The i rocommand again the pb props youtube channel i liked above. He as a plastic Brachacki build.

Here, you'll probably find some lazer cut plastic build, some Jamie Bates kit builds, and more

Yes I do follow PBprops and have watched the various builds  it's why I'm here really  ,he does some excellent stuff.  And was aware of his association with this site as he mentions it in one of his vlogs. I just thought there may have been a tutorial or scale plans somewhere on here , will have to do my own scaling down from plans .
