How are you, Marco?


I'm fine, Guido, Thank you! And you?

Now I'm building my Buffalo (finally) and as I wrote at my post, your Buffalo was my inspiration.

This D9R, is fantastic, the level of details is amazing man.

Cheers!

I know you want to get as close to the real thing as possible, that's one of the reasons it is great watching your models in progress... It is also a great reference for all those thinking of making the same vehicle.

But it's the painting and weathering that makes your models stand out even more from the rest... that's why I'm looking forward to seeing your magic on this beast.

Thank you Pierric.

First six slats have been definitively fixed.....they show a rusty appearance achieved with AK fluid.....now just need a pin wash.
