Alberto Traverso
thank you!

Neuling
Top work! Mud and camouflage look good, but the model was also eyecandy in mint fresh condition.

Neuling
More photos please!

Doubtingmango
Great dio! Can we maybe get some close up pics of the vehicles and figures?

V G
Sincerely thank you Guy Rump!

V G
Thank you Doubtingmango, I'll add more pictures to the album as soon as possible

Olivier
Interesting dio you produced here. Just one question though, why is the PzKpfw cannon pointing skywards ?

Neuling
Good diorama indeed!

V G
@Olivier, No reason in particular, other than that it looked visually pleasing to me. It's still movable though

V G
Thanks a lot @Neuling

Ich präsentiere stolz den UH-1B Huey, ein legendäres Symbol aus dem Vietnamkrieg. 🇺🇸

Die Idee, diesen Bausatz zu bauen, kam mir letzten Winter, als ich den Hubschrauber in Ho-Chi-Minh-Stadt gesehen habe. 

Bausatz ⚒️: Italeri
 Maßstab ↔️: 1/72

Great result!

This kit is more than 50 years old and amazingly good. The original tires in my kit had decomposed to mush so I got some Tamiya RC tires, machined some rims and 3d printed some centres.
The kit comes with a motor, lights and wiring. Motor hidden in engine block, 4x AA in the fuel tank. It even has little uni joints on the tail shaft.

I've spent a bit of time trying to get the stance right. Out of box it sits quite high.

Those rims are amazing, did you use a hobby lathe?

Rod -
I have a cnc lathe at home. It has a 75mm spindle bore, a bit bigger than a hobby lathe 🙂

Dashbord looks incredibly good.

Dash gauge decals pinched from a 1/12 foose camaro kit. The original decal sheet only gives you 3 choices of screaming chicken and a big blue stripe. No badges or detailing of any kind. The silver trim is a separate piece. I glued some green felt on the floor for carpet.

I'm using SMS "green gold flip" for the body colour.

István Szücs
She looks so good- I love the color of the seats!

Alexander Grivonev
This deserves way more pictures!! 👍

I'm waiting on some 3d printed brake rotors and calipers. There will be more pics soon 🙂

Some more progress. Body was painted white with a black fade under the horizontal crease along the side of the body. Then the green/gold pearl, then about 5 coats of green tinted clear. When it hardens I'll polish, add decals and put the final 2k clear on. The camera can't capture the color, it looks nice sitting on the bench 🙂

This is my first 1/12 car. It needs way more paint than a 1/24! I used 2-1/2 bottles of sms pearl. Instead of using hobby clear coat I bought a can of clear acrylic spray from the auto parts store and decanted it for mixing and airbrushing. Good quality paint and much cheaper!

Rod -
I glued the boot shut as the fit wasn't perfect and there's nothing to see in there anyway (4x AA batteries, loaded from the bottom). I also am not confident the opening doors will work perfectly so I glued one shut. That way at least one side of the model will look clean if the door fit is a bit crappy.

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic colours! Great job so far, Rod. Keep it up!

Thomas Wirsching
Great color choice! I am not into car modelling but yours look great!
