Thank you OC, dusting and some sand residues are for granted. I may try to go a bit further, possibly trying matte clear or even CA glue or thinner for fogging.

DocRob Posted Wednesday at 05:43 PM Author #33 Posted Wednesday at 05:43 PM After evaluating different methods on clear spare parts, I decided to use Tamiya Extra Thin for my sand blasted windows. I used the supplied brush nearly dry and applied the cement very carefully. This is only preliminary, to check the effect and more effects will be added, especially for the front window.

king derelict Posted Thursday at 12:49 AM #36 Posted Thursday at 12:49 AM The weathering really makes the model a spectacular work. The sand blasted window is great and very subtle. alan Egilman, Jack12477, Canute and 3 others 5 1 Quote

Now I have to think about the base and setting.

DocRob Posted Friday at 08:02 PM Author #38 Posted Friday at 08:02 PM Let me introduce you to this sinister looking drone. The Neuspotter is also based on a design Kow Yokoyama for the MaschinenKrieger universe. The kit was first issued by Nitto 40 years ago and my Wave boxing marks the 40th anniversary. Still it looks cooler and somehow more frightening than modern drones. I started with the sensor unit, which besides the strange colored plastic features coil springs, vinyl tube and different wire diameters for the numerous antennas. The age of the mouldings is visible, but everything fits as it should. I will quick build the Neuspotter and then decide, if I add him in my scenery. To get a better idea about how the Neuspotter looks, I add this illustration, which comes with the kit.

DocRob Posted Saturday at 02:13 PM Author #39 Posted Saturday at 02:13 PM The huge Neuspotter drone is nearly finished. Not shown on the pic are the antigrav unit and the exhaust nozzles, which will be added after painting. If I use the Neuspotter in my dio, I have to find a way to let it hover. I guess, I will use slide fit brass tubes for that, epoxied to the base and the drone.
