Book Nook & Wonderland Bookstore
For something different, I'm building my fathers day gift. A shadowbox-esque kit by Rolife and on sale at all the local garden centres. These kits range from glass houses full of plants to my bookstore scene, which I find quite appealing. As you can see, I have started with a bookshelf using...- Snowman

AMS-129 GEARA ZULU Neo Zeon mass-productive mobile suite 1/144
I have been struggling with the mojo on the late so I decided to veer off to the left and try a Bandai Gundam kit. They are fun, quite complex, easy to assemble and do not require glue or paint. This time I decided to use some AK paint pens and and Gundam panel line pens. Had a ball, was quick...- Snowman

Takom 1/35 SADF G6 Rhino
Well, colour me happy. The commander is done and I have begun pre-shading the G6. A little dark, in terms of the nutria, but generally pleased. It's rough, but it does what it is meant to do. Till next time.🫡- Snowman

Takom 1/35 SADF G6 Rhino
Hi all, started working on the base display for my G6 build. Found a photo of it under cammo, on the border in 1987 on Ops Modular. The supporting blurb had photo’s of the G6 on trials “proewe” at the artillery range Riemvasmaak, earlier that same year. Till the next update. 🫡- Snowman

Gundam - ms-06 zaku ii
As promised, here are a couple of sequential photos depicting the assembly of the left leg. No glue is used in the construction. I missed out some photos to keep it simple. So my quick and simple build turned out to be quite a learning experience and a pleasant surprise. Till the next...- Snowman

Takom 1/35 SADF G6 Rhino
I changed the helmet to something closer to the SADF variant which looks more like a load masters headgear. Anyway, I am pleased with the American style dome. Till next time.🫡- Snowman

Gundam - ms-06 zaku ii
Seasons greetings! I decided to do a simple 1/144 Zaku build to start my year off. To my surprise and delight, this kit turned out to be far more technical than expected. One of the appealing elements was that this kit did not require painting. The first sprue comprised of multicoloured...- Snowman

Takom 1/35 SADF G6 Rhino
Finally grasped the nettle and modded the commander. I think it looks quite natural. Just gotta sort out the bone dome, the SADF version is simpler without the flared ears for the cans. Wishing all a happy festive break and I'll be seeing you in the new year.🫡- Snowman

Takom 1/35 SADF G6 Rhino
Four prototypes later......😵💫 I think I have finally cracked it. The 0.25mm plasticard did the trick, it did not fracture and snap during bending. Now for the second unit. Till the next update 🫡- Snowman

Takom 1/35 SADF G6 Rhino
I'm back from Telford, great event, a bit of controversy about the lack of proper commercial vehicle category for trucks and the like, hopefully that get ironed out. Finally decided to bite the bullet and start building the headlight shrouds. My first attempt with a cardboard prototype was quite...- Snowman

Takom 1/35 SADF G6 Rhino
The work continues incrementally, raided my motorbike detailing bits and found some bolts that are easier to apply than the Meng plastic bolt heads. Marked out revised gun mount. Dry fitted with the bolts. started the commander's copula, not really a fan of the clear construction that...- Snowman

Takom 1/35 SADF G6 Rhino
After some research ( staring at a bunch of old photo's for hours..😅) I realised the new variant had extra vents and holes that need plugging. Also removed some splash shields. Did a dry fit on the revised gun mount, nearly finished! Oops, double image. Oh well, till next time.- Snowman

Takom 1/35 SADF G6 Rhino
Now that I have finally dragged the Eland across the finish line, I'm back onto the G6. I painted the diver, really pleased with the Vallejo acrylics and painted the interior of the cab. Painted the armoured glass was eventful, 1st attempt looked like something from an Irish...- Snowman

SADF Eland 90 Mk7 "Noddy Car"
Started working on my "Klein Boet - Ou Boet" display. For the uninitiated, that is "Baby Brother - Older Brother". This play on words highlights the obvious size difference between the new generation armoured car and that of the older post WW2 designed armoured car. Anyway, till the next update.- Snowman
