discussion Papa 695's PLA ZTD-05 AAAV

I like this Ian, great detailing, however, for the amount and fiddly track work...is it slightly conceivable...just a tad...er...that maybe they be hidden too much to show off there excellence?

That's very nicely done so far Ian. I reckon Si's got a point though. All that work with individual track links when you can see so little of them. You'd be just as well off with 'link and length' tracks and it would save a lot of work. Yet another example of kit makers adding parts to make their parts list look more impressive.

Yes I agree with both of you a little bit overkill on the tracks when your not going to see much of if any of them but it's what's in the kit

 

[Guest]

but it's what's in the kit

So there were no wrap round types included at all then Ian. ??

I personally think you've done a cracking job on this so far and am looking forward to the finish line.

Well it's a great build from me, I think it looks superb Ian. The camo really looks the part, really breaks up the chunkyness of the machine.

That's an excellent model, Ian. I love the camo - how did you do it?

Thanks Alex Just free hand with an airbrush

 

[eddiesolo]

Totally and utterly amazing, I be gushing sir, with admiration...in other words, it be fab.

[Guest]

Now you're just showing off Ian.

That looks great mate and it'll look even better when you stick it on that base no doubt.

 

[Guest]

Wow!!

Excellent camo Ian! I like it a lot!!

Polux

 

[Guest]

Did you managed to make the front flaps workable? I tried so hard to make it workable but the thing is not folding up flat to the top of the hull so I had to glue everything...

 

[papa 695]

Hi Gary I did get it working but I'm putting it into a diorama so glued them into place but like yours it didn't sit too good when fully folded back

 

[Guest]

So it wasn't just me then.. It's so frustating isn't it ? Being too careful to make it workable and when finally putting it on, it doesn't fold back properly.... ARR the rage

 

[papa 695]

Its been a while but now got a base to start with
