This is far from a WIP thread. This is my deployment project that I have been working since the beginning of March. After seeing the Iraqi Hips, I decided that this would be a good time to get out of my comfort zone and do my first, real scratch building project. I began with the Hobby Boss Hip and commenced to cutting. It has been a challenge and a bit frustrating, but it has been fun so far. Here is my progress.
In the last picture, you can see all of the pieces that I have had to modify so far. They are ALL still a work in progress as one cures, I work on another. Much of the finished product will rely on creative gizmology to help it look the part. Once I come up with something to represent troop seats, I think that I will call it good.
