Here is my attempt at the SF3D SandStalker. The original was built by Kow in the early 80s. He used a Tamiya Sd.Kfz 222 as a base and added a skirt to make it a hover vehicle. I scratch built the
223M four years ago have always wanted to try the 222F in 1/35. I didn't have all the necessary donor kits to accurately replicate the original so I dug thru my spares for stuff close enough. Instead of making the hull from scratch, I used a 1/76 Nutcracker as a base. In the end I could have used leftovers from diner as so much putty was used the Nutcracker is completely hidden.
This was the first stage. I used the styrene strips to define the hull shape.
Putty was used to bulk out the main shape. The nose was a little shallow so I built it out.
Added the bottom flare and blended in.
The surface was sanded to shape and the greeblies were added.
What type of putty did you use?
You must have used a fair bit of putty making it.
