SHINDEN PANZER KNOCKER Mech Suit

Hey Guys,

JAMES , TOM & DAVE ... Thanx for th kind words (y) (y)


Updates will be coming. I've finished th 1st. wash of AK Interactive StreakingGrime , next comes a little chipping ....
 
Yeah Baby !! Shinden Panzer Knocker is Done & Mounted on a Base. For the Base I used a couple of Pieces that I found @ Michael's Craft Store in the "Wooden Box" bins near the Children's Jewelry making section & also near where they have Their collection of Model Kits - Dirt Cheap. I added Silflor's Buffalo Tufts grass & some Dried Flowers from Michael's - dried flower section, The "dirt" is actually sand from the Outer Banks N.C.

He's also been dusted with ModelMakerZ pigments- European Dirt , Streaked with AK Interactive's Streaking Grime, I had reservations, & held back a little on Weathering th Suit .... I just really had a hard time weathering th Camo. I'd become attached to it .. But, if you're gonna Run around th Ardenne ... Ya' gotta get dirty ! :D I found inspiration in the Pose from the Ending scene from Butch Cassidy & th Sundance kit . I would say that it would be Butch Cassidy's pose ( Paul Newman)

Here's a better shot of the Stick-O Shimmering Dot that I placed as an Optic sight in th M.G. , which was a R.B. Barrel - 20mm Flak-vierling

Oh !! I also found some Video of the Japanese T.V. show that this model was taken from - GASERAKI !!!
