Description
The work on my 1/35 death dozer so far, pretty much ready for primer(got some interior work to do) while it may look like madness(cause it is a bit) when painted hopefully it will really look the part. thought it would be good to get a shot of it before, that way its easy to see the work and parts that have gone into it.kit details,bits bin details,PE, resin sets and figurines ohh my, this was a bit of work to get it to this point. the figures are still in pretty rough shape and i have only played with the stowage a bit, when done it really will be loaded down with gear.
did a bit of scratch building and added a ton of to scale 1/35 bolts to alot of the slapped on armor. i tried to show some restraint and only used a few choice gundam bobs. tho that restraint was lost when it came to the guns, as i have added alot, hopefully its not too funky looking.
anyways i got the front dozer blade to bash bit and then i will get to the really fun part of the built and get to paint this sucker. hopefully if all works out, ill be elbow deep in paint by this weekend.
as always questions comments and suggestions welcome.

Nice work so far. But I'm wondering: did you glue all the small detail stuff before painting it? Isn't it more difficult to paint the stuff afterwards?
π: 0 β©: 1
thanks!
some stuff is not really glued on at this point but really lightly tacked in place with tiny amounts of super glue. other small detail(like the bolts) is glued on and easier for me to paint on the build, than to paint and try to glue on.

ahhh nice dude, bet that would look killer on a m1070 trailer.
its a pretty good kit, tho on mine i have been disappointing on a few things. the tons of injection marks,flash,and weird or poor fits. still a really really high quality model, and a great subject.
π: 0 β©: 1
really? didnt have to many on mine the only problem i had was with the roof, but once again you cant follow the instructions here
π: 0 β©: 1
yea i was surprised(well i knew about the injection marks) i know i did not get the first run of them. i am wondering if it was just my kit(dirty mold or something) its a great kit so i don't really hold it against it, and will buy meng in the future.
yea i figured out the roof myself as i am fully detailing the interior and wanted it to come off even when built.

good to hear from you friend!

yea ill just have to re-watch the road warrior a few more times, play a few hours of fallout and ill be set XD

That should provide lots of wasteland inspiration!

ohhh yea it should, i love the "research" i have to do for these builds XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Did some yesterday actually. Research and then print off pages of quality designs. Have tons of folders packed full of such research. Also, found out the Elysium car was a Skyline GT-34 so guess I'm gonna have to make two now? DOH!
π: 0 β©: 1
ahhh nice dude! so do you work from designs or ideas or wing it? kinda always wondered(cant remember if you told me)
lol that's Murphys law for ya. just making yourself work more.
π: 0 β©: 1
Not sure if I told you in the past or not and have never uploaded a picture of my research library. Comes in handy sometimes but not very organized. Do have to double research if lost in the card catalog from hell! Most of my work is based off designs but do wing the hippie stuff. Β
π: 0 β©: 1
lol you sound like my kinda madman. that's cool dude, maybe a shot of it would be fun. i work wayyyy differently then that.i have my stash on pc, but mostly wing it. look at some stuff say well it needs some sort of X,X,X they kinda just go from there. could see how that would be different/more fun on a hot wheels scale and project tho. especiallyΒ with your crazy designs . even have a card catalog, that's crazy cool, but makes sense concerting your volume.
had someone the other day asking me some questions, one was how much do you plan, i had to say, disturbingly little.
π: 0 β©: 1
Might take a shot one day and only organized basically by year or until a folder is full. Might have about 5 folders really and not much of an extensive library. Do have to draw out the designs before paint though. Some people make custom decal sheets of these designs for the pro look but where is the fun in that? Guess that I just like to paint stuff. Β
π: 0 β©: 1
yea wheres the fun in that, painting is super fun.
the only thing i really plan for is all the paint colors. always do a scrap hull real quick to see how they all work toghter and look weathered. might have to get a shot of it as the paint planing i do, is kinda madness.
π: 0 β©: 1
At least you are good at weathering. Kinda suck at this technique and should focus more on my crappy practice cars.
π: 0 β©: 1
i had to get good at weathering cause my "clean" paint jobs are crap lol.
burn through a few practice ones, no rules, whatever works. sure you will get it down. 90% befor i paint/weather a project, i have done it to a spare tank hull i use just for that.
ohhhh btw new mad max trailer out, didn't know if you have seen : www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWNWi-β¦

HAHA! Might get good one day?

lol hell yea, ore wasteland rides. if that movie is good, we will get alot more hits for the wasteland rides.
π: 0 β©: 1

Mate, that is looking cracking so far, can't wait to see the end result..... You sir help to keep artisaniry alive.

Two 50'cals, an M60 and a grenade launcher on the roof? .....Yes please! XD
Wow dude all that details and you haven't even primed her yet lol 
π: 0 β©: 1
lol glad you approve! and good to see my kitbahsed grenade launcher looks like one. the ones i had on hand were really crappy so i mashed some parts toghter.
yea tons and tons of work, hopefully they all pay off when painted. i think that's it for bits for the build but when it gets painted it will get even more stowage and fiddle details.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yea it does
This gonna be in raider colours?
π: 0 β©: 1
lol yea that's it,recycled.
yuppers. that's instantly what i thought of when i got it and i think the bits will look the best with that kinda scheme. allso takes any pressure off me as i know they will make it look kool XD
then i moved a bit of my painted dried out, so kinda went overboard and bought a bunch of paint. so a few more colors are gonna get thrown in the mix.
