SAFS Prototype

Post by Bryan Krueger »

It says Prototype right on the box so it must be OK for the group build right? :lol:

This kit been on my short list for a while and this group build is the perfect opportunity.

The design is a bridge between the AFS Mk2 and the SAFS Mk1.

The base kit is from Wave from 2017. The two tan boxes are accessories from Pink Tank . One is to improve the kit manipulators. The cube box is a rocket launcher carrier that clears mine fields.

I've made a little progress on this since my first post. :roll:
The build was straight forward but the surface prep work needed extra attention because of the paint.

Metallic finish is a combination of Alclad and Gunze lacquers plus a few pathes of bare metal foil..

I know enough about bare metal schemes to be afraid of them :lol: I can't even begin to imagine the effort you put into this!

The bare metal looks great but it looks way to clean. Time for some weathering.
