"Gunther" D35002 "Dust Models"

[collin26]

Well, I have been telling so many other people to get involved in the BIG SPRING CONTEST that I finally had to get involved myself! There are so many excellent models in here. This is going to be a fun one for sure!
So here is what I would like to enter:
Dust character "Gunther" D35002...


Should be a bunch of fun as the vehicle seems to have design aspects from a "222" in the body and a Panzer II in the turret.

Well a wee bit of progress today. This is fun kit and has some cool considerations by Palo Parente's Dust. All ependages are designed in such a way that they are posable and movable. Some cool rivet detail has been molded in and details from WWII Panzers has been included like Bosch headlights and attachement points for tow cables.

Some short falls of the kit so far have been many noticeable seems and ejector pin marks as well as filling and sanding needed for the attachement points for many parts. The "grab handles" have been replaced with those made from 26 guage wire.


In these basic pics. you can begin to see the general shape of the vehicle as well as it's altered dimensions of real vehicles of the Blitzkrieg.

After reading the TPB I always fancied getting one of these kits but, up to now they've always been a bit too rich for me...

After seeing this, though, and reading somewhere about how some of the kits have dropped to a more realistic price, I think I might have to invest in one...or two...

Brilliant job so far...

 

[panzerace007]

WIKKED is right !! Great Start !! Lookin HOT & MEAN !! Oh baby ... this is gonna be good !!

 

[Quaralane]

Excellent work so far. Looks to be coming along fairly well there

 

[collin26]

Little bit more cutting and sanding today......results? Arms! These are the joints that will hold the weapons.....




I can hardly wait to paint this one!
