Afternoon guys! Finished the base this morning.I went with something simple and just glued down some gray railroad ballest and shot a few mist coats of tamiya flat black over it.Now the hard part is trying to figure out how to secure this beast to the base.  Any suggestions you fellas have,i'm all ears and open to any ideas.  001 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  002 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr Thanks for looking! As always ACW. |

That is really looking good,the power unit and the base make a big difference.
So we'll see this in person at AMPS ?

Morning fellas! I could'nt leave well enough alone and added some hose and a cutting torch.It's probably out of scale but i like it.Made it out of a spare machine gun barrel and a PE handle.The hoses are .015 solder.I'll get these primed and painted today.  002 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  003 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr Thanks for looking! |
