AREA 88 : "A Game of Chicken" (T-62 + Jeep)
A cute little bag of resin parts.
Once they're out of the bag though, they're not so cute. The quality is MUCH lower than I expected.
Let's just say the fit of the parts is aspirational at best.
Hmmm... we’ll need to do something about that gun barrel.
New barrel scratched up from some wire and plastic tubing. More putty applied.
Test fit on the base. Hmmm... starting to look like something.
Some paint on, and it’s starting to come together.
Let’s start on part two of this project, the Jeep.
Here’s the sprue... such as it is. Just a resin block really.
First, to remove it from the block.
Yep. It’s gonna fit.
A few more adjustments needed. First, drill out the windows.
Windows opened up, but will need to be cut to lie flat on the hood.
I dunno why, since they won’t be visible, but I felt the need to add axels.
Cut and flipped down the windscreen... and yes, I drilled out the headlights...
Painted, so let’s turn our attention to working on the base
If it all gets painted together, is that going to look like blowing sand? Let’s hope so!
Hello... Rocky.
A bit of surgery... have a seat.
Yep. He fits.
It’s difficult to paint the cotton without it clumping up and/or blowing away.
Ok... is it just me, or is a 1/144 PE steering wheel... TINY!
And there we are... a wee bit of painting and we’re done!
