OMG , B , seriously ?
I know we're old and all , but that's Time-traveling Franz Liszt . Remember ? You named him ( back in my very first thread in 2013 ). You ask every time I use him for a scale reference LOL
He's from the 1/20 Tamiya Motorsports Team

Groundhog Day!

But I really love your WIP! So many tips and ideas!!
awesome!!!

Thank You very much , Bouq


LOL - too many curves ?

Wow! What an amazingly detailed and well documented build. Thanks for reposting these Images.

 

[urumomo]

Thanks , riffic
try and get some pix up of the legs as soon as I get the bells on right

I have to chuckle [noted the 'bove post - Ref "old"]... Old is sitting there and watching live, and a very grainy, jerky Blk/Wht images, as 'we' stepped out, on to the Lunar service... On of all things a TUBE television set [Philco, as I recall]. But, I digress... Looking forward to your builds completion. PS Head sets on and jamming down to A Parson's "Tales of Mystery and Imagination - Edgar Allan Poe"... Forgot how good Mr. O Wells voiced the narrative, too.

But did you ever have one of these , SSGT ?




A very very long way to go on these legs with the paint . Still in the splotchy paint phase -- many layers ahead . + the brass elements .

Maaan -- this is the hard way to do paint chipping effects .
But , some freak decided to use white lacquer primer to brighten the base coats . Mmmmmmm

I haven't posted any work in too long so I wanted to get some pix up since they're at least structurally complete .

Bell spurs cut from 1/4 mm brass
Styrene ' nutted studs ' from MENG :

Well , at least I'll have extra time for this thing all week .
Thanks ! COVID-19

This will cure more than any viral infection :

NO... That thing cost more then my 'first' car, a '66 Mustang-Straight 6, with 2300 miles, on the Odometer...

 

[urumomo]

Yeah , but you can climb trees with it .

I wonder what kinda battery pack it has .
The date at the bottom looks like 1967 ?

 

[ssgteverett]

Found this - www.rewindmuseum.com. This might provide some info. It does have some 'interesting' pieces of tech [state-of-the-art], from then. Have a great day -
PS
I thoroughly enjoy your 'builds', by the way, too.

Some great weathering going on here.

SSGT -- check out this guy's channel if you haven't already ---- > https://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan

Thanks , Dogfish .
They're starting to look better . more like actual chipping than paint splotches . Just time consuming .

 

[ssgteverett]

Cool stuff! I'll have to see what he say's 'bout the Accutrac +6... Thx -
