Kalor Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 It's time to clear backlog before year ends. M114 from Takom, quite fun and easy build, it took me only 8 months to finish. I don't remember any issues with build, beside one missing cover for gun bearing. Gallery is here: https://imgur.com/gallery/3PijBSu Only gun is moving, turret didn't have any bearing so had to be glued in place, place I chose, as I realized afterward, was colliding with both hatches. Also I changed net, because photoetched has frame that isn't present on original. As for painting I chose simple green, I had other small model that is painted in three tone pattern and it's too much work for mediocre effect. Weathering is mostly dirt & dust and chipping on plywood front panel, some chips on aluminum too, but paint seems to hold well. Sorry for that german but I cannot found anything fitting from cold war era. 27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaoinas Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Absolutely fantastic painting and weathering on this. I can't help but just admire all the attention to dust effects on different areas on this little vehicle. Great job! Kristjan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalor Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 Thanks, it's reassuring because I still don't feel like I have an idea of what I'm doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 The figure is very welcome. Even if the wrong type. It gives an impression of scale which I had not otherwise appreciate it. It's such a tiny vehicle. Nicely painted and built 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
