Staghound Mk I - Bronco 1:35

Post by KSaarni »

While the Cromwell waits for next steps in the paintbooth, I started slowly but surely to build the Staghound.

What a nice kit all in all! A lot of details, lot of pieces and so far excellent fit. Instructions are perhaps not the best, need to interpret a little bit.

In a few hours time, the kit is in this stage:

Meanwhile I got the new decal set for the Staghound:

Reading the decals, hmm, Humber Scout car ?

Neat subject.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Very nice indeed - I do have a soft spot for British armoured cars so I'll be following along.

Thank you everyone!

I must say, it's long time ago I have enjoyed building a kit. It's like a puzzle, a lot of pieces, even if small, enjoyable!

What was really a positive surprise, the gun barrell is brass!

Slightly disappointing, but with this kit, the front wheels cannot be turned, so they stand straight. And looking at the complexity, I don't have the skills to start doing some surgery, turning the wheels. Instead I need to keep an eye of the alignment as I fear that will be a challenge..

Slowly but surely coming to a point, when paintbooth is calling.

The Staghound is surprisingly big vechicle, thought it would be smaller.

Let's see what next!

Just to show how small the pieces can be and on top of that, most of these details will be hidden when the big chunky wheels have been attached

Wonderful photos, Kari. I saw you were doing some more work today on the Cromwell, I believe. Very nice, very nice! I like seeing the macro shots.
Make more models!
