Remove the wheels and Mercedes emblems, add some jet engines and turn it into a landspeeder.GubernatorFan wrote:I agree, very cool. I hope twelfth-scale figures are flexible enough to fit. Just don't collect enough in this scale (except maybe Star Wars, which wouldn't apply here) to justify going for it myself.
I'm not sure if this is the proper vehicle for Red Sonja, Arhian, the Arhian pirate or SariahDiana wrote:Haha! Have fun! Should look good with the ladies!

They usually are. This one has a lot of parts (241), and most need to be painted. The insturction is 22 pages with 80 steps in the building process.GubernatorFan wrote:In my experience, Revell sets are pretty easy to put together, but I was dealing with Star Destroyers, not modern cars, so it might be different.

It's the biggest and most complicated model I've built, so it's going to take awhile (also because I have a tendency to built something first up to 80% and then leave it lying for some months, in this case that may happen a few times).
First though I need to get some paint, because the building starts with the engine, and there's some colors I need that I don't have (and don't have a replacement for).
Basic weathering is quite simple and gives good results.Stryker2011 wrote:Nice. I wish I had the patience for model building, as that seems to be the only way to get decent representations of some of the vehicles that I want (the original Enterprise, Millennium Falcon, Boba Fett’s Slave 1), but I just don’t (nor do I have the painting skills for all that weathering).
Probably the plastic on Barbie toys is really smooth. It doesn't work if the surface is smooth. There needs to be some relief. Sanding might help with that.Stryker2011 wrote:Thanks for the tip. I have a Barbie buggy coming with a horse and figure, don't know how much I can actually use, but I'll see. I wonder if lightly sanding the plastic and painting over that would also get rid of the plastic look...?
Thanks.GubernatorFan wrote:Definitely more ambitious than the model kits I have done. Good progress, and good luck.
