Kallisti Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Teaser photo... I'm not sure if its totally complete yet - this photo really doesn't show the weathering very well - I tried not to go too far but make sure it looked suitably dirty. I'll take some better photos at the weekend - got a new tripod to try out! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Looks really good! I like the oily grimy look to the drill itself. And the base sets it off a treat - tres Meddings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I would imagine that they would at least wipe the Mole down with a damp cloth between rescues so it wouldn't need to be too grimy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Funnily enough, it didn't seem that they did that as the Mole always looked pretty dirty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) Well I'm calling this complete now - here are the final photos taken today: I must admit to having enjoyed this relatively simple build enormously and extremely pleased with the result. The weathering in real life looks better than in the photos where it is a bit washed out even after I've done some colour correction. Its first public outing will be the Farnbrough club meeting in 2 weeks then the Salisbury show at the end of May.

whitestar12chris Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Great job, like the finish and base, cracking build. All the best Chris FAB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philp Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Great job. Have thought about this kit before as it is in my preferred scale. Guess I will have to break down and get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 Its a pretty decent kit, go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Looks great, your Alclad drill makes my Tamiya rattle can one look rather dull! My only nitpick would be that the drive bands on the Mole itself are a bit clean compared to the rest - maybe a brushload of pigments would help? And the base is super.

Dermo245 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Looks like it's ready to drive into the show - superb! Great base too. Dermot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallisti Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Thanks guys, I'm really rather chuffed with it, for a relatively simple out of the box build (how rare is that in my build history!!) I'm very pleased with how it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallisti Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 The final chapter on this model come from the most recent Telford weekend where I entered the Mole into competition and won a Bronze medal - feeling rather chuffed, needless to say 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
