1/72 AH-1S "Power build"

Post by Fermis »

Started this yesterday...spent about 2 hours with pit and assembly...had a break with some company for guns, rums, steak, crablegs and cards.

This kit is pretty basic. It looks good from a couple few feet away, but is severely lacking in the fine details dept.

Afterwards, I sanded and painted, glossed and decaled. Another 2 hour session.

Image

This morning, I spent about an hour, doing a wash, flat clear, and some pastels. Total time...roughly 5 hours!

Awesome build Fermis! I love doing kits like this that just "go together" and dont require tons of time. Kind of a good recharger for getting back into the building routine. I should find me something like that to get me going again; instead of a build that is taking months!

Beautiful job Fermis! I love building models like that which take no time at all. That really does look so magnificent too!

Looks might nice!
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!"..
