Leopard

It's been a bit of a crazy year. A lot of really shitty things happens and also a bunch of pretty good things... I won't bore you with details but one of the shitty things left me without a workbench to make my models at.
Anyway I'm slowly rebuilding a 1:5 scale replica of the man-cave I used to have in the form of an Ikea writing desk in the corner of my living room.... I'll show you pictures later when I've modded all the features that I have in mind on to it...

This is the first model I built on that desk. It's a Ma.K Leopard, no mods, just straight build and paint.
It's pink though... and that is apparently (I learned this through the Kow Yokoyama FB group) what's called Mountbatten Pink... this is a little lighter but it gets kind of close.

Here are the pics:

Revival... (AG Chopper update)

Hi there..ere....ere......r.........r....... (speaking into the void of lost interest).
I haven't updated in over a year. The reason for this is that this year has been immensely tumultuous in almost every other aspect of my life and so scale modeling had ground to a comoplete halt...

Anyway recently I have slowly started buidling again (all small kits, no scratch building yet).
But before I start posting about that I wanted to share all the most recent developments on the my last big build: the AG Chopper. At the moment the build is about 99% done, but also in storage so I won't be able to finish it or take better pic of it than these... but here is the last of what I have in terms of progress (paints, assembly, chipping, decals).

Also it's interesting to note that I was contacted by a student of 3D animation, asking me if he could develop a 3D computer model of this thing (initially based on my concept sketches for it). So I also post a lot of stuff for him as reference. Maybe as his work develops (or is finished) he will allow me show you some of it.
Anywhooo here goes a massive picture dump of the AG Chopper.

Hope you like.

Cheers,
Martijn
