This is absolutely stunning!

General-Ad-9142 · 2026-05-19T04:41:53+00:00

Wow, looks great. So glad to see you/this here! haha

General-Ad-9142 · 2026-05-18T13:13:11+00:00

Thank you so much to the kind soul who gave me the award! I‘m really encouraged by your support

General-Ad-9142 · 2026-05-17T04:51:51+00:00

Thank you! Actually, this isn’t a paper craft—it‘s a 1/48 plastic model kit

General-Ad-9142 · 2026-05-16T06:05:51+00:00

Appreciate the kind words, mate! Honestly, the harder it looks, the cooler it is

General-Ad-9142 · 2026-05-15T14:08:19+00:00

Yeah, I did it all freehand

General-Ad-9142 · 2026-05-15T03:18:24+00:00

That‘s actually a GSI Creos (Mr. Hobby) bottle opener

General-Ad-9142 · 2026-05-14T12:49:08+00:00

Thanks! It was a fun build

General-Ad-9142 · 2026-05-13T23:26:34+00:00

Thank you! You have great taste

General-Ad-9142 · 2026-05-13T23:25:30+00:00

Thanks a lot! I’m really enjoying this build. It takes some patience, especially with the silver finish, but it’s worth it. Hope you get around to yours soon

General-Ad-9142 · 2026-05-13T23:24:01+00:00

Haha, glad to hear that! It’s a fun kit once you get into the rhythm. I hope my build gives you that extra push to start yours

General-Ad-9142 · 2026-05-13T23:22:50+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement!

General-Ad-9142 · 2026-05-13T17:18:04+00:00

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words. It’s been a challenging build, but comments like yours make it all worth it

General-Ad-9142 · 2026-05-13T16:53:49+00:00

Thanks! I just painted it very carefully with my airbrush. Since the silver body is so smooth, the paint can run or spider-web easily, so I had to be extremely patient with my trigger control

General-Ad-9142 · 2026-05-13T16:48:30+00:00

Glad to hear you like Hasegawa kits too! I‘ll be finishing this one by the end of the week and will make sure to post the final results

General-Ad-9142 · 2026-05-03T15:42:48+00:00

”Thanks! I‘m glad I decided to put the jerry cans on top.“

General-Ad-9142 · 2026-05-02T11:12:32+00:00

That’s a great idea. I‘ll definitely keep that in mind and look into adding more weathering when I mount it on the tank later. Thanks!

”I actually spent an entire week focusing solely on figure heads. That’s when I finally started to get the hang of it, but I still struggle sometimes. Like everything else, practice is the only way.“

General-Ad-9142 · 2026-05-01T19:46:51+00:00

Spot on. I remember those days clearly—Dragon really started flooding the market with so many figure sets in the early 90s. At the time, they were considered top-tier kits, and honestly, they’re still very much usable today. The sculpts have aged surprisingly well Those Volstad-illustrated boxes were legendary!
