M578 Light Recovery Vehicle
Practically all the detailing on this kit has been done. I'm contemplating adding various other bits and pieces to 'dress her up' but this is as far as the contents of the kit goes. I've added a few Tron lenses for the lights and replaced the .50 barrel with a LionMarc brass barrel. Next..painting!
M578 Light Recovery Vehicle
This the second model I'm working on right now. It is the Perfect Scale Modellbau full resin kit of the American M578 light recovery vehicle with interior. I've only been working on it for the past three weeks and the progress I made is surprisingly good. How's that for a change! Most resin conversions or full kits take ages to complete but this PSM kit has not put up a struggle like so many other kits I've done. Let's see if I can keep up the momentum.
Wiesel 2 'Ozelot' Anti Aircraft Vehicle
This is a slight detour from the kits I usually build. Where as most of my projects are related to recovery vehicles of battle tanks, this Wiesel Ozelot certainly does not fit in any of these categories. It's a small and cheap kit released by Revell a while ago and it does have its issues. The fit is poor and details are soft. Nothing a bit of elbow grease cannot mend and a Eduard PE detail set does help too.
ISU-152K
It is now official, I managed not to complete a single model in 2011. How sad is that? I've been working, on and off, on the ISU-152K for nearly ten months and now she's done. Though I set my self a goal to have it finished by late december 2011, I was not able to complete it until today. Much has happened this past year, and still does, much of it has not been very uplifting. As much as I try, certain events have such an impact on me, it is impossible for me to continue modelling without a clear mind. Hopefully things will be better this year.
Early on in this project I decided that the ISU-152K should have some sort of city road to sit on accompanied by a figure. That took much longer than I anticipated. Though I'm not completely satisfied with the figure (I hate painting faces and I suck at it..) I am calling it done! The next model surely is not going to be Russian green...
