I have no words again Paul. Brilliant work.

My thoughts precisely.

[scottie3158]

Many thanks Jim.

[Hecky]

That's amazing. Truly inspiring work

[scottie3158]

George thank you for the great feedback.

[scottie3158]

Well here it is warts and all. I must admit I am quite happy with the way it turned out, especially given there is only one picture I can find. The tac signs, apart from the 1Armd Div. are Australian 1 Div but do not belong to this vehicle but I'm not that worried.







I might have a go at replicating the figure but I think that is a whole set of skills I don't have.

Thanks for all the encouragement along the way and I hope the finished item meets with your approval.

cheers Scottie

[scottie3158]

Pete, very kind of you.

[Neil Merryweather]

Utterly breathtaking Paul!
Definitely the Canine's Cojones!

[scottie3158]

Neil, thanks a lot mate I just wish I had your figure skills so I could make the bod on the back.

[JayCee]

That is absolutely gobsmacking, Paul. Would I be correct in thinking the hacksaw has a real toothed blade in it? This should be a competition entry. It is a sure fire winner.

John, of course 18tpi and tensioned correctly : )

[Jim R]

That is a superb example of modelling at it's very best. You should be very proud of what you have achieved. A joy to follow the build.

[scottie3158]

Jim, thank you mate that really is high praise indeed.

[Nicko]

Another cracking build Scottie. What a fantastic result!

[scottie3158]

Thanks Nick glad you like it

I have decided to have a go and do a figure as seen in the picture. Hats off to all the figure people out there this is not easy and is a first for me. Using various body parts and cutting and shutting I have come up with something that looks roughly right. When the filler has hardened off I will try and hopefully make him look less like Frankenstein's creation. Once that is done if I can it will be blending all the parts in to one uniform.

Looks good to me.

[Neil Merryweather]

Oh yes, bring it on boy!

[flyjoe180]

Superb work Paul

[scottie3158]

This is figure Mk2. I realised that I had made him all wrong. The guy in the picture has his right leg raised and not his left leg. So I tried again.
I have added pockets and a collar. This is a first for me. If he paints up well I may use him if not then it was a good experience, and I may have another go.

Does anyone know where I can get lots of body bits in 1/35. I did look on evil bay but I couldn't find anything.


I need to change that left hand It's huge.
cheers
Scottie
