First Kitbash/Scratchbuild

Posted by Anonymous on Monday, August 7, 2006 5:49 AM

Hio,

Today I started my first KB/SB, it's gonna be a ground based, remotley operated, fixed turrent. I'm using part of a pod racer engine(star wars) for the stand on which the turrent sits, platicard, and pieces from the M2A2 Bradley (tamiya), several Warhammer 40K pieces, the sideskirts from the 1/72 airfix chieftan and one piece from the Academy P-40E. I'm going to sratch some of the many (planned) barrels the others coming from a Tamiya weapons set, and one armour plate. I'm going to use several aircrafts panel dacals ('no step' etc.) plus numbers from an old 1/72 German kit and 1/72 Apache. I have faishoned the side armour plates and stated to dry fit the main turrent pieces. Hows it sound ?, will post progress and finished pix.

Thanks, watch out for another thread 'built turrent' or 'finished turrent' or similar.

I was wondering if you were inspired by the Star Wars Hoth turret... That one really was nicely done. Looking forward to your results. Going to be something unique and fascinating, yes?
