Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
Hmmmm...I could never get excited about the Attacker, or the Swift.
Maybe you will help make a difference!
cheers,
David

Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
This one is for our club's '80ies build'. No need for introduction. Almost OOB except for engine cover mesh and styrene sheets covering usual old Tamiya's gaping holes. I will try to replicate the vehicle without side skirts shown during 1981 Maneuvers Red Claymore ( http://military-database.de/1981-red-cl ... -free-lion ). However that depends on tracks, if I can fit them well enough to have proper sag etc. Next I will have to think how to make properly looking camo nets. So far, no fancy catastrophe had occurred but I am quite able to debilitate my build any time . Tonight, just after black primer.
Hopefully we all will like the end result.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
Thank You, I like the whole like of British Heavy Metal , starting with Conqueror, they just look better than their contemporaries.
Camo on, now modulation and a need to smooth few place up.
Now it feels like it's rolling

Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
Some weathering (oil washes and local smearing, drybrushing with medium grey) already done, now on to another round of washes and more fun with colors. So far I love working with this old kit. It just calls you to finish it any way you want . This was my first with making a camo net and ... more learning needed. I learnt the technique but chose wrong material ... what to expect, I am, after all a man.
