Re: Dragon Kettenkrad
Great rescue there Shawn!
Annoying that it had to be done, but once again it proves that we as modellers have an in the end surprisingly healthy tendency to rely on the soviet principle of "we have reserves"!
The whole sentence feels weird grammatically, but hey...
Best regards

Re: Dragon Kettenkrad
The "Rad" is looking nice, great mud application and the figs look nice too, if these are your first resin figures, I'd just advise priming them first before applying pain.

On a more serious note, I'm happy you could salvage it. Hooray for spare parts!

Re: Dragon Kettenkrad
Yet again I have to offer my profuse apologizes Shawn
I can't believe I haven't commented yet, what a klutz
I think I need to go through all the GB's to catch up
Great save with the axles Shawn, stunning micro detailing with the PE and wire too
Very nice work Shawn

Re: Dragon Kettenkrad
Thanks a lot guys. I'm afraid to report there is no progress on this one. Hopefully Monday will bring some time to build.

Re: Dragon Kettenkrad
I'm late but great save Shawn - that's almost worth putting in the Tips & techniques section for those souls due to build this.
Looking great, and I love the Camo on that accompanying figure

Re: Dragon Kettenkrad
Well as I stated in my first post things can always change and they have. I built the Puppchen and I like it. Then I came across a kit in my stash that has Fallschirmjager figures with two Puppchen's included.I forgot to take a pic of the kit but I will
Of course the Kettenkrad will still be included.
The RB Model set came with resin replacement rear handles bit they were really fragile and I broke them. So with some brass rod and tubing and a little soldering I came up with these. I have to say I am really happy with them. I also added some tool clamps. They may be a little big but it is all good.
I was looking forward to painting the Resin figures but I want to use them with another build. So now I have a lot more work ahead of me getting the Dragon figures up to par. Hornet heads will be used of course even though they look small on these figures.
I always hate Vinnie when it come to figures because now I have to do some re-scribing on my figures. I really don't hate Vinnie. I do not get the results like he used to but there is improvement for sure.
Here's were I get with some re-scribing. The left side has had the Vinnie treatment.
The Bandoliers took some work.
This is were I am going with this.

I like where this is going
