[Mini Me]

This was a really challenging and fun build.....special "thanks" go to Mr. Steve (Rivet) Jones for coming up with the original concept. Rick H.

 

[Ian M]

That would be an achievement in 1/35 but in 1/87 thats bloody amazing. Great result Rick.

 

[GerryW]

Hard work to think of this being so small - well done.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Great job Rick. Lovely finish on an exacting build.

Thank you Ian, Gerry, Tim, Jim Nick and Andrew. As I said earlier in the build thread, I was pretty pumped up about building this, as it is so removed from the normal WW ll subjects that I build. I guess variety is the spice of life. Rick H.

The washed out look is spot on. PaulE

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks Paul......Lots of dusty dry pigments and a few light washes before that really calmed down the Panzer Grey. A good technique and I will use it again as it has an aging effect that appeals to me. Glad you like it. Rick H.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Well done Rick.

 

[rtfoe]

You put your shrinking ray gun to good use here Rick.

Cheers,
Richard

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks Lee.

Richard.......not so loud, the others will hear! Don't want them in on our little secret. Thank you for dropping in. Rick H.

 

[Steve Jones]

Whats not to luv? Great work on lightening up the bowser. Lovely touch of colour with the brass handles. Great scratchery and terrific research. One to be proud of my friend

 

[Mini Me]

Thank you Mr. Jones.....all credit to you as you presented the original........which I may still do if I can figure out the rivets......all 20,000 of 'em! Also, if you happen to land on other unusual subjects that you deem possible for me to render, feel free to "volunteer" them for my opinion. Rick H.

Hi Rick,
That is a cracking build in any scale.

 

[BattleshipBob]

Lovely job Rick!!

 

[Mini Me]

Scottie and Bob, Thank you! It was just a lot of fun scrounging up the pieces and parts to build this little representation of the depicted vehicle. Sometimes I think that is the best part. Cheers, Rick H.

 

[rtfoe]

Yup the fun part is when you discover an everyday material looks and fits just right in the scale part you intend to scratch...I still haven't found a worm that would stay till for one of those ribbed hoses.

Cheers,
Richard
