AFS MKII

I started the mkII while waiting for paint and supplies to ship for other projects. I made a few modifications to the interior which comes nondescript out of the box. The MKII will be running amidst dropped weapon cannisters during a feirce battle.

Aftermarket heads work wonders, I am also applying mud

Ma.K: Glenn Recon Drone

Ma.K

I started a new project the Glenn, a small version of the Oskar, This is a scout vehicle. I am using a neuspotter kit and kitbashing the other details. The base is cut from styrene and filled with urethane foam filed to shape. It will be covered by epoxy putty then sanded and detailed.

Fill sand fill sand

    Glenn's assembly is now done. I primed the parts, but discovered the paint had gone bad and started to flake off the model. I played restorationist, sanding and scraping back to the black undercoat. Now grey primer is good and Glenn is ready for color.

                                                

 

WWII future sci-tech Hover platforms

Future WW2 Sci-Tech:

Hover platforms to go with the radio car. These were an inspiartion after watching Johnny Quest.

The parts are from tamiya flak guns and their trailers, 88mm flak, of course, plastruct abs elliptica dishes and odds and ends.

WWII future sci tech radio car

    The Future WW2 Sci-Tech continues with this SDKFZ 232 upgraded to plasma reactor. Its a hover radio car, Tamiya 8 rad is the main kit with parts from the 88mm flak ( a great kit for bashing) I usually have several on hand. I scavanged a resin engine from a 48th harrier to act as the plasma reactor. The interior details are what I imagine it would look like. Parts from RPM WW1 mustard gas tank and rpm German ambulance tank. 

 

Verlinden radio gear and some old resin cast bandai tank parts.

Studio Scale BSG Laser turret

    Studio scale BSG laser turret: This project has been in the works for 2 years. ID'ing the kits used was a real challenge. I designed the base parts in fusion 360. Then had them printed, MJF (multi jet fusion) I would not use that material again, it is not suited for flat surfaces. Too many tiny pits, it really needed a lot a TLC (filler). The barrels are telescoped brass tubing, kits are Tamiya, Hasegawa, Fujimi and a few others. 

The photo above is a screenshot from Battlestar Galactica. Eventually I will build the vingette background as well.

There still are a few kits left to ID, but time will solve these mysteries.

I finished the laser turret build portion,

For now it will be displayed on the stand, this winter I will build the vingette.

The replica is fini

Si-Fi wall.

    Sci-Fi large scale ship panel. I had several large peices of ABS plastic laying around, so I decided to bash a background panel. It was bashed from what I call BTB, back to box parts. I pick parts for a kit bash and when I don't use them I put them in a ziplok bag meaning to get them back to their original box, but never really get their.
