1/35 Ma. K. “GUSTAV” (Hasegawa)

[multicam]

Hey guys, I couldn’t wait to crack this open any longer, and Spud’s recent Ma. K. “Ketzer” was pretty inspiring. It’s my first Sci-Fi build [ever] and it will not be the last☺. Great little build, probably 2-3 hours to put together. It goes together like a Tamiya kit, with very little clean-up and no fit issues.





I chose to go with a different head, for variety’s sake and I wasn’t feeling the kit options. This came from an Acadamy IDF figure set☺


and a last one for scale☺ 1/35 is pretty small;)

I’m looking forward to trying some crazy camo painting ideas on this one. Let me know what you think. Oh, and the kit comes with two of these guys. Cheers

Sweet Nate!! Little guy....nice perspective with the AK bottle!! Sorry if I chuckle a bit, but, that first shot looks like Clint Eastwood a bit to me!! Thinking he could pull off the suite with no problems!! Count me in for this one...looks fun!~

[multicam]

Ok, so it's been a while since I've blogged anything. I've been busy with three kids and all their involvements and life in general. I've been doing a little modeling though and feel as though I'm getting some of my mojo back so I hope to be doing some more modeling and sharing in the next few weeks. All of a sudden I have about 5-6 shelved projects that I gotta finish! how does that happen?

Here's my attempt at a fictional camo pattern. It's roughly inspired by the USMC Urban T-pattern camo. It's kinda basic and not as elaborate as I had imagined, but I got sick of waffling and looking at it and just started putting paint on the damn thing. I'm happy with the face so but still have to detail more on the interior/figure. Still gotta do some chipping and add decals on the exterior but here's how she's looking now. Can't wait to wash and weather this bad boy!




Let me know what you think. Cheers

Great to see this back on the bench.

Cam is good, weathering will really make this guy come alive.

[multicam]

Thanks guys:)
Dicky: Think I'm gonna keep this one as a stand alone maybe a small base with some stuff around:). Come back for the other one for another project later:)

Dig the camo BIG time! You have my attention as usual...

[multicam]

Allright fellas, ive been able to accomplish a little more on this guy. Did some chipping, clear coat, decals and I masked and painted the striping which I think really helps out with some needed contrast. Still have some chipping to do on the stripes and minor cleanup, prolly some more chipping to show more wear. Then on to the weathering. I gotta a cool idea for a base as well.



Let me know what you think!

Looking GREAT!!! Again I really like the camo work... are you going to bring it to Roscoe Turner show? I'd love to see it in person...

[multicam]

What are the details for that show, Andy? I tried to PM you a couple of times and apparently it didn't work. Let me know and I'll look at the calendar. That'd be fun:)

[deafpanzer]

Sent you PM... looks like five of us will be there. It will be BLAST! But I really need your help not to allow me to buy more kits just in case Ogrejohn and BigJohn don't stop me. LOL
