Resin tatra thingy

[David Lovell]

Haven't done any resin for ages ,not a bad little kit a few issues but nothing to bad so built primed and ready to go. Dave

A moment of smugness got this off of the casting block and cleaned up in one piece.


Stay safe all back when I've thrown some paint at it.

Now THAT is small......interesting little beast though...

Always a victory worth celebrating when you succeed in releasing fragile parts from the casting blocks. PaulE

Hi David
I've never made a resin kit. This tiny model does look well cast. You did well to get that aerial?? out in one piece.

Thanks guys so far so good ,is it just me or do some of you suffer from the paint never seems to be at the point you think your pointing the airbrush ,I'm buggered if I can get my aim in still showed it some gray today, it will I'm sure settle down when the filter coat is applied ,stay safe and if poss enjoy the weekend.


So small hardly seemed worth the paint, so I'd built this at the same time ,colour call out in the box said panzer gray so two birds with one tone(did you see what I did there) .I'll see how it goes ,I'll keep a log on it maybe later I'll stick it in the scifi bit ,maybe.
Cheers Dave.

David,
Wow that's little but a nice looking build.

Looks good under paint David. Shows the quality of the casting really well.

Totally agree David. If someone has taken the time that is very nice & deserves, & I enjoy, thanking them.

Nothing to do with poor aim - its just so,so small

That is a very nice paint job.

I wouldn't worry David, I put a coat of black for pre shading and when I top coated it I can't see any of the shading Yours looks the part.

Thanks John, the last few builds I've stop pre and post shading I start dark and work my way through to the lightest ,plus heavily thinned 60 thinners 40 paint even 70 30 makes it quite translucent. Dave

Is it wrong to say I'm more interested in the sci-fi thingummybob?

Both are looking great though David. I'm never usually bold enough with my shading but those are spot on.

David. Nice little build especially in resin that small

Andy its made by meng from a Chinese film called the wandering earth I think ?. No scale two sprues and a couple of body parts snap fit under a hour to build ,still I don't suppose this is the place I'll see how it shapes up over the next few sessions and maybe put it up in the scifi section.

[David Lovell]

Once again thanks to all who have looked in and added to this little build. Dave

Thanks David, I shall try that, think I laid on too much paint, maybe a little thick in the mix, and of course being excited that the tip didn't clog up !
