Model Gallery / "Which Comes First: Chicken Or Egg?"

« on: April 16, 2014, 10:43:53 PM »

Hi,

Just want to share my build. I call this diorama "Which Comes First: Chicken Or Egg?".

- Chickens are from Tamiya's 1/35 Livestock Set. I modified one of the rooster, perched on a bucket, flapping it's wing.
- Crate are from Academy Military Minature Accessories Set.
- Plants are from J's Workshop.
- I scratchbuild the wood bucket using 1mm plastic strips
- An eggshell as diorama base.

Comments and critisms are welcomed :)!

Looks like it. I guess 1/48th is the 'new' 1/35th since (I think) Tamiya started rolling out their 1/48th scale military stuff.

When it rains, it pours. Upcoming releases from AFV Club. I got my sight set on the Vietnam's LVTH6 and Stryker M1128 MGS.

I'd say get it just in case

. The selling point is it's 1/35th and it's an EX-Model.

It'll be probably another 5-7 years wait for the next re-pops, IF there's any

Not really an upcoming release but it's fresh from the factory. HLJ link below:

Trumpeter's 1/35 German Bruckenleger IVb (Bridgelaying Tank)

I've been waiting for something like this to come out. A bit pricey though. The tracks are available in two option; injection-molded link-and-length tracks or flexible belt-style tracks.

749 parts.

Model Talk / Koktebel - sand, sea, surf, a shipwreck and a young boy

« on: July 05, 2007, 04:53:54 PM »

Hi guys,

I was browsing thru Historicus Forma site when this diorama catches my eye. It's called
"Koktebel", built from scratch by Jean-Bernard André. The sea foam effect looks realistic!

Out of all the Gundam 00 line up, Gundam Virtue got my attention. I'd like to see it in 1/100 scale.

Model In-Progress / Re: WIP: Original Kampfer - with overall look enhancement

Minor update:

Minor modification on the shotgun.

Add some details behind the thigh; where an auxillary thruster is located.

Added some detail on the rear thruster bells.

The joint shoulder and torso joint is covered using a thruster bell which was cut approximately 4-5mm. Shoulder mobility is limited now but the joint looks more rigid. [Highlighted in the red box]

Update:

Focusing on the torso. Add more details to the upper torso. I don't really like the use of cloth mesh for the energy cable that runs along the abdomen. I decide to have an energy cable that similar to Zakus. I use Max Factory's brass pipes for the energy cable upgrade. The energy cable shall be painted later.

Lower arm
I use grey auto putty to smooth out the uneven surfaces.

Begin the initial work on the angular-shaped feet.

I'm busy with my 1-year old son who demands our undivided attention. He's been actively into climbing and such. My Kampfer progress has been slow lately. Hopefully there's some major update beginning next week.

Cool car there, spiffitz.

Update:

Applied some A+B epoxy putty onto the lower arm. Later I will sand and fill the imperfections with grey auto putty.

Some modification on the shoulder joints. I drilled the 'holes' on the shoulder joint.

I fill in the holes using the long out-of-production MAX Factory's Brass pipe (small size). Superglued them into place and in some cases, I fill in the gaps with A+B epoxy putty... just to be sure.

I'm over with the 100th MG hype. On another note, the UC hardgraph line-up have some interesting stuff coming up. I can't read Japanese but from what I can figure out of the pictures, it's due sometime in November 2007.
