Trumpeter 1/35 Russia SAM-6 Antiaircraft Tank

Update!

Here's another military build that I did a few months ago.

This is another Trumpeter kit (which I think challenges the heck outta me) of Russia's SAM-6 Antiaircraft Launcher/Tank.



Pretty much applied the usual styles since my client wanted me to follow the pictures on the box. But I added a little bit more of detailing since I thought that the original colors looked too plain. The missiles with their small details in attaching it to the launch pad was pretty nifty.








The most challenging part was building the tank treads. Yes! It had to be built INDIVIDUALLY!! God knows how trying it was, since I'm used to treads that are already made (and its rubber too!). But it was an experience and like always, I treasure them...




Alright, another military kit notched in my resume...heh...

By the way, don't forget to drop by RK Design Studios page on Facebook and do give me a 'Like' to show support in what I do. It's not much, but a simple 'click' on the 'Like' button always manages to keep me wanting to better myself...

Trumpeter 1/35 Hind-E

Update!

Another military build, but a different kind of craft. This time around it's a 'choppa' or a helicopter. Yep, aside from the usual Transformers heli...I'm doing an actual model of a heli. And it's scaled at 1/35. Imagine that.



Okay, there were a lot color schemes to choose from and I was thinking of doing one with camo. But then, I just acquired the camo skill so better think of something else. This particular model (or any kind of chopper) if not done right there will be a lot of problems. It's not a tank which I can just re-spray it later. So upon discussion with my client, he gave me the green light to do as I please.

So I opt for the gray colored scheme. First, I think that gray is always awesome on air crafts. Two, it will be able to complement the engine parts that will be having it's hatch opened...

Engine components were done with gunmetal and drybrushed with silver and cockpit area is painted matte black also with silver drybrushing. The whole body was done with some simple pre-shades just to bring out the curves of the chopper.

Here it is...

(note that this guy is quite big, and I don't really have a big are for photo taking...heh)












The natural light kinda reminds me of the series Airwolf. Heh.

Till next time!

Trumpeter 1/35 Flakvierling Truck

Update!

A military build. Yup, not that it's been lesser...it's just that I've been dabbling in other things. What is it you ask? Heh...that's a you have to wait and see kinda thingy...

Okay so what do I have here? This time around it's a Trumpeter kit. There were loads of detailing inside it (literally inside) and it was...erm...kinda fun (if you can say a large amount of swearing is fun that is...). All in all a sturdy build but I'd do a Tamiya kit anytime (sorry Trumpeter, my fingers are sore...)...



So here it is, Trumpeter's 1/35 Flakvierling truck...








There's going to be more. Yessirs! Why? Client picked it up so now I can reveal the other works that I've done...

Till next time!
