AMT Body Snatcher - 1:25 by Fright
Jack12477 replied to Fright's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
That is a really cool looking model ! -
Okay, last update for todayy. Further updates will be a little slow since I have to obtain some supplies and construction the display. But I will respond to posts. I am finished fiddling with the tank. the 3 figures are finished (don't photograph too well close up) Gear lashed to deck using Chuck's Syren rope.

Well, woke up this morning and found snow on every roof, not on grass or roads, just roofs - garden sheds, houses, garages. This is spring, right !?!?! Finished up the three figures, added some camo to the track area, put a 2nd coat of cherry wood stain on the display base. Needs to dry 24 hrs then a coat or two of satin poly. Need to touch up the 50 cal as Ken and Patrick suggested. Also seal all the decals with flat varnish. I will post updated photos later today

1/72 ADGZ M35 funkwagen armoured car. FINISHED

WOW ! Nice model, Patrick. I also like your tagging system. After 20 plus years I've forgotten what model is which in my collection since I never wrote anything down. -
Ok, Lou, you want to throw a couple boat anchors over the side so we can slow down a little Decals in place - just have to seal them once they completely dry and set. Attached a fraction of the extra goodies. See all those ammo cans on the rear deck - well there is at least 10 more like them plus two more of the smaller K ration boxes, plus more ruck sacks. Guess they might have to go in the stash box..... Anyway, it is not finished completely - the track area needs some camo treatment and is too pristine for a combat tank. So more work there. I still have the 3 infantrymen shown on the box art to finish plus decide what to do with all the weaponry on the weapons sprue - grenades, etc. The we take on the display question - how to display? I know ! I know Diorama, please ! Patience grasshoppers. Patience.

Actually Edward I had started glueing small sub-assemblies together Saturday night before ASAT complained abot "40 posts and nothing glued". I actually some sub-assemblies glued up just not posted. I probably will have the tank and crew finished by tomorrow. But any diorama is going to take a bit longer. Thanks! Nah ! Just have nothing else to do with my time right now! Still to cold here at night to plant any veggies in the raised bed gardens, so might as well build tanks.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
