New project
🕑 Added 2020-12-13 00:21:13 +0000 UTCMy friends, after much deliberation on what the next model should be I decided to deliver on my promise to build a super modern AFV in 1/35th scale ๐
This is the result of today + a quick evening work on Friday. It's such a beautiful kit! I knew that it would be an OOTB build since there's no PE available for it, but damn the details are so nice. Even things you'd normally replace with wires are so well done, flash is non-existent and mold parting lines are extremely small.
Of course I couldn't resist some weld grooves on the superstructure - it's gonna be in plain sight, so, you know... I also took full advantage of the working suspension. I'm still not sure if I want to make a vignette for this one because it's gonna be a BIG model, but in case I do, the suspension will be easy to adjust.
The kit has 1300 parts but I suspect most of them are the tracks. Luckily I had a box of unused T-80 Friuls from a long abandoned project (MSTA-S), so they finally came in handy!
I'll try to take a very different approach to weathering on this model. It's modern, it never got too beaten up, but it sure gets muddy during trials! And of course, I'll do everything to make it a MUCH quicker project than the Jagdtiger!
I also have some 3D printing news, but that'll be for another post ๐๐
