Tomski-347247 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Ok, So my last little project off the bench before I get back into the daily non-modeling work grind.This is a Tamiya kit, (I hope it's allowed)I`ve now decided to give my builds a name. Calling this one "Old Trolly - New Rocket"The transportation trolly would have been used many times, whereas the V1 was pretty much a "One use machine" therefore, the trolly received a "Hammering" at the weathering stage and the V1 weathering was kept to a minimum. (As it would never really come back in one piece or in good condition)As you all probably know, I always like to be honest about my builds. I started this as a "quick gratification project" you know... something to get done & completed and enjoy in minimal time?... Hmm, didn't quite work out that way to be fair.Although it's a Tamiya kit, the centre joint took quite a bit of work to get right (ish) and I won't tell you about the little front prop which is moulded/tooled onto one of the sides (Very very delicate) ... primed for snapping off whilst working on the joints - well yes, that happened, so I had to scratch build a new one.It all took a little longer than expected but hey ho... (That`s part of the fun)All in all, I`m reasonably happy with this build all things considered - would be great to get your thoughts on it.Hope you like it.Cheers.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon OGorman Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I think it looks great. Love the trolley and the paintwork on the rocket. I would never think to do something like this but it's really interesting (and very well presented!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
