3 inches long and 3 months to get finished pics finally...

Posted by lizardqing on Saturday, April 17, 2004 6:49 PM

As some of you may know the absolute pleasure I had with this fine specimen of a kit, I am sad to say that I am finished with it. At least as finished as it's probally ever going to see. About all that I would have done to it other than what has been done is decals ( if some one happens to see then , please contact the local autorities) and maybe the trailer that came with it, but it was victim to the 2 year old and the light. Nothing I can say about the build or the kit that would conform to the rules set for the forum , so here are the pics.

Comments are welcome as usual , but there is not to many words that I have not said about this kit allready Evil [}:)]

Gee, that's great work. I really like the fine camouflage detail. BTW, what kit is it from? Tamiya or DML?

Thanks guys. It is the Tamiya kit, with some road wheels from a Nitto kit thanks to Spamicus.

Great build, even if it wasn't from your end. Not familiar with the story but I picked up enough bits here and there to make me want to check the return policy of my LHS on the Dragon 2/2 I just bought. Wink [;)]

Hey Chris,
Whos kit is that again??? Over all build looks good. I take it that the camo is free hand right??
MMMmmmm, I have one or two of the Ol Tamiya kits on my shelf. See what you have started!!!!!
Are you going to incorporate it in a dio or anything like that.
Lookin good so far.
Flaps up, Mike

If you would listen to everybody about the inaccuracies, most of the kits on your shelf would not have been built Too Close For Guns, Switching To Finger

It's the Tamiya kit with the trailer. The camo is free hand yes. NOt sure about incorporating it into anything yet. Came close to being incorporated into the wall a time or two. Thats why it took 3 months, had to hide it from myself before one of us recieved serious damage.

And here I thought you were going to drag this out like Eric is doing with his Tiger.

Looks good Chris ..... I know this one was a wrestling match for you.

Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert

Wow that is your longest build to date, and on the smallest kit you've built! Looks nice, i thought it was the DML kit.

Nice work Chris , I am sure your problems with it were more a matter of not being into modeling at that particular time , I have had those days too , and now I just do something else instead , the simplest things can be so frustrating if you are not in the mood to deal with them . All in all it has come out very well I think , I like the faded camo. I did one of those a ways back and it went together pretty well , but I had nothing to do at the time and it seemed oddball enough for me , thats why I think we all like German armor , some of thier ideas were so odd its not even funny . Can't wait to see the firetruck when its done , I know this is armour forum but post a pic or 2 in here when done ! Cool [8D]

All things considored Chris,, That little thing turned out pretty well, Got that way with my Sherman for the Sherman group Build. I suppose if I had thrown it in the wall I coulda just put it in a dio and said it had a run in with a very angry Kitty.

Looks great to me, Chris. I never figured I'd see it standing on it's own after the way you were threatening to crunch it under an Allied guy!! I hope my DML comes out as nice! Thanks for posting it.
