Magach 6B Gal Batash

Sherman 18

Master at Arms
Full in with a Magach 6B Gal Batash. I just really like the space ship look to this.

Start up photos

I went to work on the lower hull and I just do not like the way Academy as designed the hull. I scrapped it for a favorite of mine AMT

Thanks guys. Ran into a couple of issues that I need to solve before continuing.

The first and the biggest issue is the turret does not fit either hull :bang head

Second issue is the detail on the add on armor is very simple :hmmm This I can fix, not really sure if I'm in the mood to do it.
 
Shots of the add on armor, there should be bolts not rod look :idonno

On parts like this I'm at the point of shaving off most of the kit detail and replacing it with hex rod. I need to think about this as it will add a lot of time, but not sure if I can live with myself if I let it go. :unsure:
 
Hahahaha can you say AMS :popcorn


:blush: Yeah :blush:

I'm using photos that a resin company used for their masters. Wish I could share them but can't. :eek:hmy:

I hope there images of the real tank and nor of the resin parts. I also hope that the company name does not start wit L and end in d as they stole a lot of stuff from a contributer of a lot of original research material.


I have the same kit and will watch this with interest.

Cheers from Peter.
