Hey Folks,
just wanted to show you my rendition of trumpeter's M1117, it's basically been built OOB except for some smaller scratch built additions like the smoke dischargers, some smaller fittings handles and gratings...
painted with tamiya colors, weathered with ak interactive enamels, oils and pigments...
enjoy
one of the wheels does look like it's not in touch the ground in this pic but that's just because the backdrop didn't wouldn't sit flat when I took the pics
I also took some in progress pics with added descriptions of how I got through the first weathering stages as this build was intended for a feature article at first but I never really finished it. however I can post those pics as well if any of you is interested...
overall it was a fun build, and I already have another guardian in my stash (but this time with all the AM goodies)
feel free to comment!
Cheers, Max
