Thank you boys, all of you. I'm happy you like my Baz.
Ozgur It seems a really good solution yours. I like it. What type of powder did you use? And how did you fix it?
Please post other pics in the future.
The flag is a sandwich with two Archer dry transfers with a rectangular shape domopak aluminum in the middle. Go bottom page

Hello Guido,
Actually you know the material, it´s chinchilla - sand. But I filtered it twice with a extra fine sieve.
Hmm, thanks for your answer and next question
. How did you make the Antennas? Aftermarket products or sprue?
PS: Nagmachon is also good, great job!

As I told you, your anti slip sounds good to me.
Ozgur, the antennas are simply two brass rods (0.45mm).
Vince what do you mean for sand? Tha antislip layer? It was fixed with an hairspray.
The sand on the wheels and lower hull with an airbrushed thinner only.

This is one truly out standing build, I hope my build comes out as well.
Building the impossible is my main goal. Build baby build never sleep!!
