The Duke Finishes One More in May

[Duke Maddog]

I know this is now June, but this is a model I finished last month. It was the subject chosen for the SoCal AMPS 12-hour group build challenge. We all had twelve hours to complete a model. These twelve hours were broken down into three four-hour build times; all done together over Zoom once a month.


I completed this on May 29 after 11 hours and 14 minutes....

I only lightly weathered this as I figured it would mostly be used on supply bases. I could be wrong, but it allowed me to get it done on time. I did add some dust in the corners off the loading bay, but it's hard to see in these pics.


Thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

That looks great Mark! I didn’t get a good look at it during the meeting because I had my screen in “Hollywood Squares” mode and all the images were so small as a result. Now I can get a good look at this beastie! I think your reasoning and approach on the weathering is solid.

Very cool Mark!

Thank you Carlos! Yeah, I keep my screen in "Hollywood Squares" model too most of the time so I know what you mean. Thanks for the comments on the weathering. It does make this easier when it is used on a base where minimal dusting happens.

Thank you Mike! I do like this little beastie!
