Bandai M61 Semovente build

Here's a few more:

Awesome build! This is one of my absolute favorite non-suit Vehicles from the Gundam Universe.

You give it credit. Kudos.

Thanks! I'll need to take better pictures----these were taken at the Wonderfest  Amazing model contest this May. The "white" splinter color is actually Camo Grey, and overall she's a lot more subdued and not so "in your face."

I've ordered a new Macro lens for my Canon, and when I get it I hope to post better pictures.

Truly awsome . I hope to have that kit oneday

Nice one...Great.....:)

Oh I likey!  I have seen this vehicle and really like the lines of it.  Just as you have done, this Big Bad Boy lends it's self to many mods.  Well done.

Thanks guys!

I hope to have my new lens next week, and when I get back from vacation I'll take better pics in a more controlled environment.

Incidentally, I robbed the mine plow from Trumpeter's New M1 Abrams "5 in 1" kit. It would make a great donor kit for this sort of thing----It has the plow, the mine roller, parts to do a panther version...LOTS of greeblies!

If this kit was more readily available, I'd buy another one just to try another "go nuts" weathering/paint scheme!

Update...

SIX months later i finally got my new lens----hope to post new pics over the Holiday weekend.

Very nice, to bad a Zaku is going to blow it up soon, heh.

Haha!!!

I'll try and make the pics extra clear so it'll be easier to hit!

Great model well done on the build, and I really like the weathering, looks fantastic.

any closer to putting up those new Photos ?

All the best,

Barry.

Thanks Barry----leaving right now for my last 12 hour midnight shift. Have some holiday family stuff Friday and Saturday. I'm looking at Sunday.

Then we'll be looking in Sunday to see more of this crafty beast!

(DarthDuck2U SF!)

Very impressive build and subject!

I may have to re-think my general non-interest in Gundam subjects.  Even if I don't get into the story and all, kits like this would be fun builds.

Thanks!

I promised some pics tonight----but I got called out to work. I get them posted tonight. (Monday)

Very Nice! I also forget that there is more to Gundam than the shiny giant mech suits 

good job

Happy New Year

Well, I finally got some more pics of my Semovente----I had them taken at the IPMS Region 4 contest in Pittsburgh last week. It took Gold in Sci-fi.

Realistic finish!!!

1/35?

Supurb!!

Wish there were some quality 1/35th scale models of the "blowers" from the Hammer's Slammers universe.  What I've seen doesn't impress me and my scratch building skills are pretty much zero.

Again, very nice build.

Looking fine.....Well done Neb....

Thanks gents-----yeah, it's 1/35. This kit was off the radar for a while, but I recently heard it was supposed to be re-released.
