Gents, hi !!!
As I'm on vacation (hurra!!), You'll see many things here ....
Yesterday, I decided to build this kit in resin, from Real Model, which I got from my wife on Valentine's Day
But I did not know the mess I would face...
Some pics:
But no use crying ... The important thing is to build ....
If life gave you a lemon, let's make a lemonade!! Hands on work !!!
See all the shocking and bizarre photos of this project here:

Marco - I saw the pictures elsewhere. I just thought - what a battle to even get it to fit together! never mind to make it beautiful.
Im sure will make magic from this.
I love to build resin kits - but when like this - I would run away!

Hi Marcos ... if anybody can, you can!!
Should be a stunning model, and the end result will reward the effort.

Well, Gents...
I finished this girl, enjoying the off days of the end of year ....and after a scare with a material that I tried to use to make the canvas ...
The Real Model kit was a torment, but I think the end result was nice ...No pain, no gain !!!
But, see the Girl: (I love COE trucks ...)
Please, visit my Bunker to see ALL pictures of this novel....

What a beautiful job Marcos!
You've made an outstanding model starting from a so awful kit
Furthermore I really like the humour of your posts.
In my opinion modellers often tend to be too serious indeed
I wish you a great year and many thanks to you for sharing your projects
Cheers

For me, modeling is, above all, hobby and fun ...
The important thing is to have some fun ...

Wonderfull work Marcos
I know the sorrows man. I had once a kit from Real Model. It was of the M900something Pontooncarrier. Looked into the box... saw what a dog of a kit it was... did a halfhearted attempt at building it but soon decided my time was too valuable to be wasted at it. I was glad I was able to sell it quite quickly.
That said. You certainly managed to get a good result out of it. I love the tarp especially. Great building, Great painting and superb weathering

Nice to see you back at the bench Marcos. I was wondering what was keeping you so busy and now I see.
That's a great job you've done.
