1:12 Tamiya P-34 – still a strongest potential finisher, firmly in the lead – chassis is pretty much assembled, short of spoiler and radiators. Moving onto the outer bits View
I just want to wish all you guys the best of luck. There are some awesome models and dioramas, and I don’t envy the judges. They have there work cut out for them – that much is certain.
I wish I could be competing with you, but alas exams are around the corner and I just knew I didn’t have the time to finish the project between work and…[Read more]
Thanks to a few too many wholesale orders through my business, I just havent had, and won’t have, the time to get my entry finished, so I’m bowing out.
Good luck to all others who enter.
I’ll still be following and commenting though 🙂
More led work, 19 done so far, lord know how many more I’ll do.
Added a large thruster bell to the inside of the shoulder armour since I’m removing the 3 little pop out ones.
I’m massively behind schedule with this, and with more work on the horizon, I’m pretty sure I’m not gonna finish on time.
Ah well, soldier on.
Fitted some leds in the leg thrusters.
Had a few setbacks lately, but ha time to play again.
This time with the weapons.
Used a zoids double beam cannon set, but these things dont have grips since they’re normally…
First problem encountered with this resin add-on, thanks to resin shrinkage, the forearm covers no longer snapped into place properly, and the thruster flaps didn’t close a…
Evening spent test fitting the resin parts on my Sazabi.
The fit isnt the best, will take some sanding to sit well.
But I’ll be damned if that isnt impressive looking.
bought the resin parts years ago direct from the caster.
test fitter one of the arms too and it looks like theres been some shrinkage, so will DEFINITELY need a fair bit of work to make them fit -_-
My base kit arrived today, 2 days to get the the UK and then 5 days for customs to release it to me, gotta love our speedy customs service XD
This will have a resin conversion fitted along with a couple of leds, added surface detail and scribed panel lines, and a new weapon unit fitted.
Let the test fitting commence.
Man that’s a lot zeon kits there. Yeah I need to finish my own sazabi. It’s an amazing kit already and findin ways to improve it will be a challenge in itself. I can’t wait what you’re going to do with this one.
Only 5 days in customs? I’m from Poland. One of my last packages (from November 2016) spent 3 weeks in customs. Sent on 2nd of November reached Customs on 8th and was delivered on 29th. I needed to call them many times and they were always saying that they will send it right away.
But fortunately that was one time, usually takes up to 3 days.
Good…[Read more]
So here is my latest diorama. It is called ‘On Patrol’. It is a 1/72 IDF Merkava 1 with troops. It took me a long time to build because I came across several stumbling…
I am very happy HLJ is doing the competition again. It was a great experience last time round. I wish everyone the best of luck and can’t wait to see your work.
If I may add a small critique and if you’re listening, I wish you had not done the competition in this period of the year. This is study time in the northern hemisphere a…[Read more]
