Building the dragon wagon and the Recovery version together ,superdetailing with resin conversions is a huge task to complete .
Model workmanship like this above is inspirational modelling .
Well done Marcos on your models so far.
Michael


Thanks, Michael !!!!

Wish I had caught this one from the beginning. Very original. That's one of those odd things that grabs your attention. Nice eye for detail. Can't wait to see it finished.

Salve Serra e suas idéias mirabolantes!!!

For those of us that know the Serra's works, isn't surprise him try to make something unusual, that invariably result in outstanding nicely done jobs.
Many brazilian modelers know the taste of Serra to challenges tasks, and your abilities in scratchs and/or conversions.

This certainly will be an "woooouuuu" job!!!

Vai na fé, Good Work!

While torpedos on definitely looks cooler, wouldn't there be a safety issue with live ordinance exposed like that? I'm no expert on ordinance, just MHO.

Ayrton Senna doing pole-positions wasn't that fast...

I bet you would clean my workbench in a week (8 kits waiting to be finished..)

I will stay tuned on this one, looks great so far, creative and funny as usual !!

Take care

VERY NICE!!!!!! You are a very talented modeler Marcos. The subject matter really interests me. I can't wait to see the finished product.
I think this would look great in a diorama with the Submarine being transported down the street of some coastal French or German town. Great work.

Hi Marcos,
Just been playing catch up on your build, great work especially working with 2 at a time .
I have the M26A1 with the trailer and its been on the bench WIP for the last 6/7 months, Trailer is complete and I've got to the cab stage, builders block as I am using an interior etch kit and had to wait for an Etch Mate to arrive, ( fingers like a JCB digger bucket). Now its arrived will restart after Christmas.
Will be watching your paint work with interest.
my dio will be a field workshop off loading soft skin vehicles for repair.
Cheers Mike

Hi Marcos. Even though I'm an aircraft modeler, I have been watching this from the beginning. Like the others I am awestruck at the speed of your build, and when I look at all of the extra scratch work and detailing I am even more amazed. Excellent concept and beautiful work so far, I can't wait for the next installment.

Cheers, D
