IM Rook & MIG KV-2X Completed
Posted by Capn_Panic on Friday, August 1, 2014 6:04 PM

Hi Everyone!

I finished this build a few weeks ago and thought some here might like to check it out.  I had a couple of resin kits and decided to do a side-by-side build of them, and then display them together on a diorama.  One of the kits is from Industria Mechanika (the futuristic one) and the other is from MIG Productions.

I hadn't really ever build a diorama base before, so I was winging it mostly, but it was built of foam on a plywood board, covered in a layer of sculpted wall spackle.  The rocks were cast from a mold meant for train set rocks, the guard rail built from scratch and I put together a DIY flocking tool to apply the grass.

If you'd like to see my build log or more photos, I keep a basic blog and finished model gallery on my web site here:  http://hello-napalm.com/models/walkingtanks.html

Hope you all enjoy the photos!

Wow, those are awesome!!! I've seen the KV-II Walker on the MiG site but the Rook is new to me, really neat looking models and terrific work on the paint schemes and weathering. Love the base too!
