Hi guys.
I was given this 3D print of a fixed position 88mm Flak gun from the nice gentleman who supplied the 3D reactive armour blocks for my 1/16 T-72.
It did not print properly was scruffy with barrel issues so he let me have for free for me to 'play-about-with'.
My first thought was that it didn't look that bad and after cleaning up would be okay, nope. While attempting to sort out the bad print lines etc it started to come apart. In the end I did it as a knocked out piece, not severe damage but fire damaged.
The gun was primed, then airbrushed with top coat and two camo coats. Weathered using graphite, smoke, and rust. I found a metal 1/16 88 shell case and painted that.
The base is a solid 4mm plasticard piece with me carving the concrete sections and then using the Dremel with a fine point to create some cracks. The base was airbrushed in a black and various greys, I had seen some like this base with a large semi tar like agent used in between the blocks so, replicated that. The gun was fixed by drilling and screwing into position. I then added some foliage and light dust to the base and model before sealing with a matt coat, this time through the airbrush.
So, another set piece for our RC 'village'.
