Machinen Krieger Gustav

[beav1013]

Here's my Gustav. This is the first time I've used the AK Interactive weathering products with much success. I'm really happy with the way it came out in the end.

This will be put into a creek diorama with my Falke.

The woodland scenic stuff? From a vid I've seen it's really easy to use with great results, I look forward to seeing the dio.

 

[beav1013]

Yup the same stuff. I've seen some YouTube videos, it does look really easy to use, just hope it turns out ok.

Honestly I have no clue what it is but I can say I really like the paint job! Nice work.

 

[beav1013]

Ha, thanks Chris. All I know about them is that it's some Japanese thing that looks like crazy mechs and vehicles got sent back to WWII. they have some really cool things in the series.

I'm not sure what he/it is (A Gustrav is a type of aeroplane to me) but it's a very nice model. I'll second the applause for the chipping, very well done.

Cheers

Nice Jim, really nice finishing.

 

[beav1013]

Thanks guys. The series is called machinen krieger, which is made by hasegawa. The kits are really nice and go together great. They started off as a series of either comics or cartoons (I think) in Japan, and the makers would kit bash a bunch of different kits to make these new sci fi mech type kits.


If you're into sci fi stuff I definitely recommend checking them out.


I made a creek diorama that I've been waiting for a week for the water effects to dry on. I used heavy acrylic gel medium over realistic water. Hopefully that all gets finished up this weekend so I can put some pics up.
