BryanKrueger Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 I couldn't wait to start the new Wave Oskar kit once I received it. It's easy to assemble but I plan to detail it with the soon to be released Hexamodel Oskar detail set. I've basically gotten it as far as I can right now.I modified the rear hull as I have seen the preliminary shots. I also took this opportunity to add some additional details to help spruce things up a bit.
dmorrissette Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 Bryan: Is this based off of the Hasegawa Nutrocker kit? Dave
BryanKrueger Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Posted January 13, 2015 The Oskar is it's own unique design. It's 1/20 scale. The Nutrocaker kit from Hasegawa is 1/35 scale and still a larger kit. http://www.hlj.com/product/WAVMK-42/Sci I think the original scratch build was based on a computer trackball housing.
Mark Aldrich Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 Really Nice! Can't wit to see more! I finally got ahold of a Krote! I used to have three but they somehow came up missing (think some of my Daughter's shady boyfriends helped themselves to my stash). Picked it up for a decent price and can't wait to add it to the assembly line.
BryanKrueger Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Posted January 20, 2015 Oskar Detail Parts arrived yesterday. Here's a dry fit. The parts are gorgeous and so well cast.Here's the link to my quick review. Hexamodel 1/20 Oskar Detail Set
BryanKrueger Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Posted January 26, 2015 Thanks Mark. So I've made a little progress. Hexamodel did all the hard work so I don't have too. Hinge parts are just blue tacked in place for now. There is so much detail, it will need to be painted prior to assembly. I added a few more greeblies under the head socket section.
dmorrissette Posted January 26, 2015 Report Posted January 26, 2015 I love it. I built a few MAK kits for IPMS reviews and I am hooked. The aftermarket makes it look fantastic Dave
Mark Aldrich Posted January 26, 2015 Report Posted January 26, 2015 Ummm......I may be missing something but is there no driver?
BryanKrueger Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Posted January 26, 2015 Nope, no driver. Unmanned reconnaissance vehicle. Original design dates back to the mid 80s and appeared in an old Hobby Japan issue as part of the SF3D series.. ModelKasten released a resin and vac-u-formed hull kit about 10 years ago. Wave released the first injection molded kit of this design late last year. Hexamodel just released two different upgrades. This one with the full engine, and a second smaller set with additional side mounted rockets - Oskar R6. Hexamodel also released two full resin kits of the Oskar and Oskar R6.
Bubbajoe Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 incredible detail ... remind me of a horseshoe crab minus the tail
BryanKrueger Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Posted May 19, 2015 I've been slowly working on this between other projects. Here's the rear engine area with paint.
dmorrissette Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 Love it. Wish they would make a lot more of them Dave
Mark Deliduka Posted May 22, 2015 Report Posted May 22, 2015 Wow, that engine is detailed! It looks like you can just fire it right up! Beautiful job!
BryanKrueger Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Posted May 26, 2015 Thanks Mark. Here are a few shots of the forward section.
BryanKrueger Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Posted July 13, 2015 So I spent most of my weekend masking...I added a dark tan filter to help unify everything.
DennisTennant Posted September 7, 2015 Report Posted September 7, 2015 I like the details in the engine deck. Nicely worn too!
Mark Deliduka Posted September 9, 2015 Report Posted September 9, 2015 Outstanding! Man that looks so realistic! Way to go!
