Takom 1/35 SADF G6 Rhino
As you can see into the driver cabin, I decided to add a driver. I chose the driver from the MiniArt British AFV crew to adapt for the job. His uniform only comes in one colour, Nutria Brown. So, I'll probably paint him dark earth/buff, the interior is Cremeweiss and khaki green, with a...- Snowman

Takom 1/35 SADF G6 Rhino
I'm adopting a modular build approach. There was a nasty surprise with regards to the copula's as the vision blocks and the body are one and the same. Some careful masking is required. Onwards and upwards, till the next update.- Snowman

Takom 1/35 SADF G6 Rhino
Here is the kit. Surprisingly, there is quite a bit of flash around the ejector points. Most of it is not visible, but there are two in the drivers cab, but relatively easy to deal with. The suspension is quite complex, have a look at this. The stabilisers and drivers cab are mostly done...- Snowman

1/72 Hasegawa VF-1 Valkyrie Battleroid on deployment in the city
Hi all! These are not my best photos but space is limited in my very full house. Here is the completed build stationed in front of an office block, built to give a sense of scale and size awaiting incoming Zentradi attackers in their assault pods. Thanks for all the support during the build...- Snowman

Just added the exhaust. The head lights as well, both required minor surgery to locate. The wheels were slimmed down to accommodate the new lugged tyres. Very pleased with my progress, next are the bush guards for the lights. Till the next update.- Snowman

1/35 SADF Eland Mk7 (AML 90) "Noddy Car"
Whilst working on the front end, I suddenly realised that the mounting brackets for the sand ladder were wrong. The needed to project further forward with a channel carrier as the SADF variant carries the ladder differently. Oh, yes I had to source headlights as the SADF variant has them on...- Snowman
