Today, I started my very first scratchbuilt-project for a GB on the LEM-forum. It came sort of out of the blue, since I was going to do a Luft46-subject (but to be honest, I’m really not feeling up to that yet).
Anyway, I found a sheet of 0.4mm styrene just laying around my bench, and decided to do something that I had been thinking for a while ; converting a papermodel to plastic.
I started at 0200pm and worked on to about 0600pm…
Any comments and critics are, as always welcome [:)]
And if you wish to have the templates for this, just give me sign and I’ll e-mail them.
Thanks for the comments, guys…StevenQ, the scale is approximately 1/35.
I forgot to mention in my innitial post that this is the version of AT-ST, used in the Battle of Hoth, if this one works out, I’ll try a more complicated Endor-version.
However, I will apply a non-Star Wars camo in this one.
Is it the “Hoth” or the “Endor” version you will be doing ? They are different in shape and finish. I chose the “Hoth” version for two reason
1 I had the templates available on my HardDisk in the form a paper model,
2 the Hoth version is simpler in lines and since this is my first scratchbuild, well…[:)]
Yesterday afternoon I’ve been working on a master for the “cheecks”, using 5 styrene disks and some milliput (white) and Tamiya putty for finishing.
I’ll post pics later on.
Bad new : I’ve ran out of styrene today and my LHS is closed on Tuesday, so I’ll have to wait till tomorrow and see what else I can do…
