Sliabh na Mban (Michael Collins' ARR) 1/35 WIP

[TheRaceforTerra]

Hey guys,

Not sure whether an armored car counted as armor or automobile, but here it is! Like I've said before, I'm good at building huge resin kits that require a lot of sanding and filling, but building this was torture for a hamfisted guy like me. I am really looking forward to starting the weathering tomorrow! Once it is done, I will publish a video on my YT channel with the painting and weathering parts, and this time I am going to sell it on ebay and donate the proceedings to the Irish Organisation of National Ex-Service Personnel. Hope you like it!

Very nice. I'm not sure what I like more, the model or the base.

Thank you, @wjbrandel ! I like the base a lot better myself, heheh. I think the base is quite good, but the car is only ok. And most importantly, the base was a lot of fun, whereas the building of the ARR was a pain.

It's a 1/35 Meng kit, but I had to buy another one by Roden to add the top light.
