1/35 U.S. Tank Commander - Complete

I started this at one of the local model meets, maybe the Sept. meet.. dunno.. anyways, I was trying to get it done for Orangecon, but never did because I didn't want to rush it, so I took my time. I finally finished it today. Sadly this is the only model i've finished this year.. but I think i'm back in the mindset of model building now.

The base (cobblestone sidewalk) was made with green stuff putty. The leaves in the gutter were cut out of metal foil from a wine bottle. That's pretty much it.. painted with Vallejo acrylics.

Back Into Modeling

Scale modeling that is.. Building scale models used to be a big hobby of mine, before I got my bicycles and increased my camera collection.

A couple years ago, I seemed to lose interest, well, maybe not lost interest, but just didn't have the motivation to build stuff. I still bought a few kits to add to my pile, and I did build a couple things within the past 2 years, but not much, a figure of Cammy from Street Fighter, a Tie Fighter from Star Wars... that might be it, I can't remember...

Well, it seems i've finally got my motivation back. Maybe it's the cooler weather. Anyways, a few posts down is the Tiger tank I was building, but i'm putting that on hold for a while. I'm almost finished with this U.S. tank commander, from Alpine models. 1/35 scale. I plan to make a gallery page for my models with a link on the sidebar, but I have yet to get started on it. In the meantime, i'll try to update this blog with my progress. After this figure is done, I have some other stuff I plan to start on.. I actually have already, but i'll get into that later.
