spacewolf Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hi all, haven't been on much. Even modeling has slowed down.. or it had till the long weekend here in Canada. A good friend of mine invited me to join the IPMS Ottawa blitz build.. the idea was to grab a kit from your stash and build it from 6pm local Friday to midnight Monday. No prizes, just the fun of bashing it out like we did when we were kids. I had no idea at first of how I was going to do it or even what look I was going for but ended up going for a sun blasted, worn operational look. The kit itself is not bad.. and with some serious kitbashing could be a show stopper. All I did extra was stripped the chrome parts, added center track guides cribbed from a Russian tank I had laying around. I added ribs to the figures.. all you get is the back ribs... I used stretched sprue and super glue... looks much better I think. The wood tray in Rommel's compartment is just Tamyia wood brushed on leaving streaks.. then clear yellow & orange coats and a dull coat over it... came out pretty good.

LSP_Ray Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Nice! I have this one in the stash, too. Haven't decided whether to keep it or dispose of it, but you have done a great job with it. Dany Boy, Troy Molitor and spacewolf 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's classic 60/70 fun kit.. you can either go silly or go semi serious... with some kit bashing and detail work it could be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that is why I bought it. If it wasn't for the other 999 kits in the stash... Troy Molitor and spacewolf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I've got one of these in the stash. Every time I see one built it makes me want to drag it out and start on it. Very good job on this one. Awesome. spacewolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
