How long did this take to complete? Thank you very much! I’d say I used 100 hours on building. The Bandai glueless concept helps a lot, especially when one starts to cut things away it still holds parts in place whilst fiddling. That really helped on the interior and bashing the two kits togheter in the rear. Thereafter another 50 or so hrs was spent on putty, sanding and primimg, especially on the joints between the kits. Paint actually was a good 50 hours as well. The hex-camo was a bit time consuming (and perhaps overdone). The weathering was quite quick though. Then I’d say I spent another 50 hours on the figures. The dio was quite quick, stones are made from plaster, glued on and airbrushed and the resin mixes in minutes and hardens in about 24 hours, though quite a few layers so it took about a week. That account for some 250 hours or so, spread out over six months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Fred, Just fabulous in so many ways. I love it. You get my vote for model of the year (so far)! Thanks for the pictures. You could easily get away with also putting it in the Sci fi thread & get lots more likes! Now, what next? Any more like this in the pipeline?

Thank you, Yes Sir, the Semovente tank is being kit-bashed as of right now. Though still a loooong way to go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
