Zaku base update.

This little guy was modified with an xacto knife and some putty to look like an EFSF infantry soldier. Gun was made with styrene sheet. He's tiny.. now to paint him.

1/48 Panzer IV

I've been working on this only at our friends' build gathering for the last few years. Needless to say, it's slow going. The main problem is the photoetch set for it.. It's torturous.. but it's finally starting to come along.

Website Update!

I finally redesigned (slightly) and updated my hobby site. Mainly I wanted to make it easier to add updates to it and to navigate. I added the last three models i've finished in the past year or so as well. A few more in the pipeline.

Zaku II 2.0

I've been building this for a while. It's something I started a couple years back but put in a box and left it sitting. I've dug it out lately and have been working on it again. I'll probably finish it soon. It's the MG Zaku II version 2.0. It's a decent kit, nice poseability. I hate these colors, so i've changed it. I'll update when I take new photos.

RWB Progress 11/9/15

I started gluing on the body panels. Man.. this conversion kit kinda sucks. I mean, the details are nice, but the fit is horrible. It's going to take A LOT of work to make it smooth. I had to break some bits off to get the angles right. It's possible it was made for a different Porsche kit than i'm using, or maybe I didn't cut the base model in the right spots.. I dunno.  Anyway, i'm confident it'll look ok in the end, it's just going to take more work to get there than I wanted.

Rear Bumper

Removed the rear bumper and rear right fender. It's going to take some work getting things lined up properly, probably a lot of putty in my future.. :(
