Hi,
this is newest project in my work table. It really doesn't help to unload the list but it helps me to try something different techniques.
Model is Hasegawa's 234 in 1/72 scale and it is "a bit" easier than Mars counterpart. Mars suspension was more detailed but many times more difficult and tedious to work with. As Mars was resin, I didn't even try to add any details.
This Puma isn't bad but it needs some additions to make it shine. Eduard has PE set for it but as it doesn't add anything too difficult, I'll try to do similar parts my self.
I have Aber PE sets for Italeri 234 and I will use thos instructions to add details. It's quite astounishing how Eduard PE in 72 scale is almost same as Aber in bigger scale.
I haven't really looked into model yet so I don't know what excatly to expect. Christopher's 234-blog helps a lot, thou
Here are instructions:
This is what I started with. I wanted to make grilles open so this is how it begins:
As I'm hassling into all directions with this, I started doing fenders from scratch. This is first version without side bins. Corners are off and too round. I laos noticed when looking at pic that I can't bend metal part over original one as it won't shape correctly then. Just trying to get feel of the work I'm heading myself into:
I'm thinking of doing this 8-wheeler as destroyed, similar as in Mario Een's Puma article in TMMI many issues ago. Without wheels or at least flat wheels, maybe cracked turret, open escape hatches etc. These are of course just ideas but you'll see hopefully in the future what happens :lol:
