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

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

Hasegawa 1/72 Robotech/Macross Valkyrie Battroid
This is the completed office block. Did some signage, the fictional engineering company that reverse engineered and developed the Valkyrie. Just to add some random Macross reference to a dull building. Did a spot of weathering and added HVAC and grime to the roof. I'm really chuffed with the...- Snowman

Hasegawa 1/72 Robotech/Macross Valkyrie Battroid
I did some roadworks and road signage, starting to take shape, now just need to weather the road and complete the Battroid. Used Vallejo's excellent asphalt product. A little weathering and a Battroid would not go amiss. Till next time!- Snowman
