Thought I'd do summat a little different for this one:
Sample instructions:
I wasn't exactly over excited about the colour scheme offered on the box so I went looking and found this (not the identical version but close enough for me):
No build log as it's so small but this is what I got:
Quite pleased with the result, but I gotta say I'm not impressed with Miniart kits. Their attempts to keep everything in scale means some of the parts representing bars and tubes etc are really thin, and I found it impossible to remove them from the sprue and clean them up without breaking most of them. Some I managed to fix and the others I replaced with styrene strip. Once the parts were cleaned up however, I had no problems with fit and flash was minimal.
I managed to copy the overspill on the drum using model railway ballast. I used the filter from my tumble drier to remove the larger bits and just sprinkled the dust I'd filtered out onto a smear of PVA.
I have an idea for a dio with this, but I'm not certain so I'll keep it quiet - a la Ron! You'll see it if it gets builded.
Comments and criticisms welcome as usual.
