catdude01 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 Hi: I just bought this little guy on ebay, its from the fantasy game of Dust and Tactics. Here the pictures of the model. a lot of seam lines but worth the effort. here you can see the scale, its more or less 1/48 . Already started sanding and working with mr.surface 500.
Greyhound Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 Pedro - weathering is looking very good. it is a good thing that the Germans never developed this for WW-2 or we would be in big trouble! Although with all the Germany 46 design's showing up who knows? Greyhound
ghodges Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 Very nice! Love the shading in the grays. GIL
catdude01 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks Dannie/ Gil, this is a really neat model to rest a little bit from the traditional tanks, very easy to work and paint. Hope to finish it in time for the contest!
Guest PetrolGator Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 NICE man. I love the beat up look of this.
cruz Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 Very cool Pedro, as you well know, I am more of a car guy but there are a lot of things you guys do which I always learn and try to incorporate on my builds. Thanks for sharing!
Guest PetrolGator Posted September 24, 2014 Report Posted September 24, 2014 You do seriously kick ass work. I have NO idea how your work did not place at Nationals. 1
catdude01 Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Posted September 24, 2014 Thank you!!!, well the model is kind of dark in colors , without a base and figure does not say much. I'm still working on the figures and base, so stay tune for more. :gold-plane:
Neal Posted September 25, 2014 Report Posted September 25, 2014 I love the paint job you have done! I also bought this thing, but was put off because it came semi-assembled, rather badly at that. Did you clean up all the seam lines on the legs? I really wanted a fully unassembled kit, to make clean up easier. I think this design is so far the best looking of the Dust line. Keep up the good work!
catdude01 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Posted September 25, 2014 Thank you Neal!, Sure I did, I clean it up and used perfect plastic putty to correct to fill all the seam lines. Also drill the machine guns and sanded the gun barrel too. I got you news too, Dust and Tactics was sold between 2012-2013 and the new owners are starting to offer this as a unarmed kits. check it out! http://www.unitforward.com/news/unassembled-model-kits-direct-from-dust-studio/
Neal Posted September 25, 2014 Report Posted September 25, 2014 Pedro, Aw nuts now I have to buy another one! Thanks for the heads up; I didn't know about the unassembled kits! I may need to buy two to build the flakvierling version as well. I hope i can do them justice like you did! 1

WesR Posted November 16, 2014 Report Posted November 16, 2014 How on earth did I miss this thing? Looks great, I haven't heard of the game though. Going to have to look into it. 1
