CanDid Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Hello good people, Not really sure where to post this. It is some kind of 1/35 armour, or an artillery piece or just a hoover called Henry... Anyway, here it is :-) I kit-bashed Bandai’s EFGF Hovercraft with a MLRS from Dragon, added some Dragon figures and pontoon boats turned upside down, various parts from Live Resin, Industria Mechanica, some PE from Eduard for the MLRS part and quite a lot of scratch. I also made a full interior mixing scratch and parts from the left over box. I covered it in putty and primer before painting and weathering it with Ammo and drenched it into a pond of Prochima E30. It was a pretty fun build Last but not least, here is Johnny: Hope it is inspiring :-) Cheers! /Fred 31 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I like the whole thing it took me a second to see the second frogman swimming under water below the rear hover fan/jet. Especially like “Johnny”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumblestripe Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Utterly wonderful build, beautifully presented I hesitate to correct spelling in the face of such wizardry (and from someone who has no second language at all) but a "hoover" is a commonly used name for a vacuum cleaner. what you have created is a "hovercraft". A hoover, yesterday (sorry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerbannog Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Excellent build - funnyly I suddenly remembered this Bandai range last week and had a look of wahat is avaialble. The hoover tank in the Bandai configuration is already a nice Sci-Fi piece, but you put it some levels higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixed easily, acrylics for tinting (used 1 drop for 3dl resin mix), does not smell and pours perfectly in layers up to 1,5cm. I bought it from the country og origin via ebay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
