M-163 bodge - US

Hot on the heels of the M-901 is this Vulcan.  Again, the turret is a 3D print on a hull of insulation foam, balsa, mdf and card. 

I think it looks the part. 

M-901 bodge (US)

Here is the completed M-901, with a 3D printed ‘turret’ on a hull bodged from insulation foam, balsa, mdf and card.  

Paint is overall olive so I can use it in a number of armies as well as that of the USA. 

As with all my similar bodges, there are plenty of faults but it’s clearly what I intended it to be. 

M-113 bodges - batch 3

See this earlier post about the previous batch of M-113.  This batch was prompted by the arrival (some months ago if truth be told) of some turrets kindly 3D printed for me by Pete.  

I followed the usual process of carving the basic shapes from 2-inch insulation foam. The running gear was added from images found on the internet and printed on thin card. 

Hatches and grills were added from mdf and balsa. 

Dreadful Dinah?

Bringing to an end - at least for now - the epic tale of plastic, dust, glue and heroism that is Bassett’s  Broken Bits Box is this Airfix Mitsubishi Ki-46.  I’ve not yet built one and as this was in good shape I’ve not even had to rebuild one.  It’s a lovely ‘clean’ design so,I opted for a fairly plain finish and added decals from stock.  I like it.
