Title: Hobbyboss 1/35 VK18.01 early
Post by: Ryan K on Wed 02/18/15 08:17 PM
Wanted a quick and easy build during this winter event and so far it has not disappointed me. At less then 8 hrs of work over 2 days.

A little more pe work and deburring of the tools and old girl is ready for some paint.

It was going good til you put the bad mojo on me. :)

The front visor should move straight up not out, doh!

Going German grey as this a prototype tank. I think I am going to add the Dragon Russian anti-tank team marching by with a anti tank round through the engine and a few fuel cans on the opposite side.

It's the visible sign of the weight of Eagle Squadron presidency lifting off his shoulders.  No more pestering people to do demos.  No more bizarre phone calls from members.  No more e-mails from IPMS chapters and regional coordinators.  No more worrying about the website.

Just pure modeling.  Ask me how I know...  :)

I could be all those things and/or also three days trapped in the house with the kids I need an escape. Seems once I go to my modeling desk they disappear like a long tail cat in room full of rocking chairs.

Carpet monster is 2-0 right now. I can replace the pe part with plastic or at least the allusion but the tail light will be a little harder to fix.
