Greetings, it's been a while since I've last posted anything. I've been wanting to break the silence with a tease of my current project. This WASP Universal Carrier variant has past the 1-year mark a few months ago. August 2011 was the start date of this project.

I love the challenge of scratch building. I've been pulling out all the stops since the beginning. I purchased a Resicast kit to update the old Tamiya kit. I thought that this resin kit would save me some time here and there while improving the kit... Unfortunately, the quality of the castings have been sub-par. Most assemblies of this aftermarket kit has had to be modified or scratch built all together.

The bright side is that I'm incredibly pleased with the results! I aim to write a feature article for posting onto Armorama's front page. There, I will go much deeper into the process and include many more photos of this epic build.

Thanks for viewing, I appreciate any feedback.

Fantastic !!!!

yes, a lot of scratch built details. Very nice

Looks real good so far

Hi Paul. Its the details you have made yourself Im most impressed with!Looking forward to more updates.

Cool guys, thanks for the kind words. This project is 98% finished. I've scratch built many stowage items. This is my task now. I'm hand-painting the stowage with Vallejo Model Color. After a few more pieces of stowage I can then paint and weather the exterior of the kit. Here is a cool photo of painting some stowage. Unfortunately, quick snapshots such as this can't capture what our eyes can.

hello, great work paul
