WIP: Hobby Boss Dora 3

WIP: Hobbyboss Dora 2

So I am back with the railway cannon Dora. Since my last WIP about it I completed the carts and smaller bridge units. And started assembly on one of the 2 big bridge parts. Which consists of 2 big pieces glued together. which left a reasonable seam which I filled in with putty for the part of the seams that will be visible after everything is finished.

seeing this is my first ever kit with photo-etch parts it was quite hard to get the big pieces on first time arround.

WIP: Hobbyboss Dora

So this is going to be my first of probably many work in progress posts about this huge modelkit. so far I have built the tracks and built the 4 inner carriages and completed those, and partially build the 4 outer carriages with 1 of them completed as far as they are completed at this point in the instructions.

The very first parts to build next to the tracks ofcourse are the carriages that actually make contact with the tracks. This requires a total of 40 axles and 80 wheels.

Feel free to leave a comment about how you think I am doing or what you think of this kit.

Tamiya M1A2 SEP ABRAMS TUSK II

So it has been a long time since I wrote something on here. This is mostly due to me not having build anything, or well I build the RG strike and skygrasper and the RG RX-78 but didnt make pictures of them yet seeing I dont know yet what I am gonna do with them at this time.

So now for the kit this post is about, I bought the newest M1A2 ABRAMS kit from Tamiya, the TUSK II version. Which stands for Tactical Urban Survival Kit. Meaning is has extra armor to withstand anti-tank mines, reactive armor against rockets and extra protection arround the hatches for the commander and the loader.

So Now for the pictures. Feel free to leave a comment.
