Wanted to share the build of this monster cannon model that my son and I have agreed to build together. This is the 1/32 scale kit that Revell reissued of the Renwall original and it is huge!
The history of this project is that while my son and I were at Armorcon 2013 a very generous fellow modeler who had just won this gigantic model in the big raffle gave it to my son. He was elated and wanted to tackle it by himself immediately. Well, he's 9 years old and so we agreed we split the kit up where I'd work on the cannon and he would do the transporters and figs. So, our goal is to have fun, git r done and hopefully have it to show on the display table at some up coming shows.
Here are some IP photos, the cannon is my work the truck my son is working on. We are just going for an out of the box approach and I am resisting all my instincts to correct or add scratch build anything. We agreed this is just for fun.

It is such an old school kit, nearly all the pieces have their part number on a separate attached disk, or printed on the part.
And because of that one of the bigger challenges is finding the part on the multiple gigantic sprues, esp when it is tiny!
All in all so far it is building up quite well and we determined to get it done this summer.
