that a big model kit. Care to share any sprue shots of this?

 

like what's the main body detail look like? and decals? What size is that ZEPPELIN decal?

 

 

yeah man i'll take some flicks of it later when im back home, it actually was a pretty quick build because there isn't much painting involved besides the entire thing being silver. the whole thing is probably about 3 and a half feet long. it's pretty cool actually

I heard a radio show about Area 51 today. It was Fresh Air hosted by Terry Gross. The guest was Journalist, Annie Jacobsen talking about her new book

 

this reminded me of the Testors model kit of the 'UFO' in 1/48 that I built years ago

 

a six and a half minute video about this kit that I found on the toob

 

I strayed away from the instruction sheet slightly

Yeah the WM Crab Type is clearly a boss ass piece of machinery. I guess im gonna have to open the flavor packet and find out what the fuck it is. I will certainly post progress shots. I have ZERO experience painting models let alone "weathering for battle damage" but im open to suggestions. I figure if im gonna do it might as well do it right.

. . . . I figure if im gonna do it might as well do it right.

 

that's how I approach sht too, seriously

 

well, to get started there are a few tools and material to have on the bench:

- flush cutters or small dikes (no /hatin')

- 'exacto' hobby knife no. 11 blade

- tweezers

- small file

- 1 part tube putty

- sand paper of various grades starting at about 600

 

- styrene plastic liquid cement

- super glue (CA)

no body uses that stringy tube glue anymore except huffers. Too hard to control

 

just take your time, no dead lines on this
