New Project – Sazabi RG!!!

Yes – the time has come to make something clean and shiny.I builded Sazabi RG some time ago – just clean OOB build. I didn’t panel-lined it and not applied any sticker/decal on it – as I’m usually doing with my 1/144 Gunplas. As I’m huge fan of Sazabi machine – I planned to put…

New Tools!!!

For quite a time I was looking for a precise “T ruller” something that is available for carpenters but not 1m long 🙂 Im finding it very needed for any type of cutting parallel lines within masking tape or pla plates.Next is line scriber that could support scribing lines parallel to edge of parts. Simple…

Accesories and final thoughts.

Backpack, weapon, shield and final thoughts. Shield – I forgot to fit it at the beginning. I had to trim a few things and use rotary tools to move holes to fit parts properly. Very happy how it looks, that spikes in metal color gives a nice contrast to green. Weapons – very straight forward,…

Searchlights

Progress on AA artilery

Small 20mm guns are completed. Now its time to move towards 37mm twin SK C/30 anti-aircraft cannons. There were 8 of those on Bismarck.Lionroad set provides resin and photoetched parts to build SK C/30 – I decided to replace barrels with dedicated metal sets from Master. Quite complex little cannon 🙂 and completed 8 pcs…

Gunner Zaku – Belt Update

Belt is finished. Took a while to do this as there was a lot of work with resin and masking. Decided to do reverse colors compared to chest, darker green with lime green details. Legs I will do lime green as a main color with darker green. I’m happy with grenades, they look decent. It…
