Hi guys.

I need to brush up on some plastic skills as not done any for about 4 years now. So dragged this out from the stash and thought I'd show you all the build as I go.

It's not going to be anything special just very different.

Pics will follow of random points, as there aren't many parts to the build. For now here's the box art.

Oh nice. Looking forward to this one. I am a fan of the chibi stuff. I don’t even know why I always just find them interesting. Been thinking about picking up some chibi tank kits.

I am not sure I get it, unless its for saving shelf space when you display it? none the less its quite interesting and certainly different so looking forward to what you do with this

Hi Guys,
Well I got carried away and didn't do any more pictures only the finished article.
I'm sort of happy with the results but one thing annoyed me, I used rattle can Humbrol MATT clear and ended up with what looks like its been to the Antarctic. I'm not using one of them again.....


Cheers Chris

I don’t rate Humrol anything these day’s, some of their acrylics are like plaster!

Unusual build and quirky item Cool

Looks Fab, I have found Humbrol rattle cans hit and miss so tend to stick with Tamiya I still use their oil paint tinlets but as Tom says the acrylic is awful.

great end result despite the frosty look, love itCool
