...after market or scratch?

Thanks for the compliment! Here's how I've made them:

I would like to see a right side photo, I really really want to draw this thing! And if you could give me a rough guess as to how many meters long this thing is?

I'll make some pics of the right side later.
IRL this thing would be 26cm x 35 = 9,10m long, 4,72m high (guns lowered) and 4,55m wide.

It currently weighs a hefty 0,320kg by the way.

I'll probably sound stupid for asking this but here goes.
What if the wheels rotated onto their sides to create the hover mode? A little Transformers like. I know  but it was a thought.

^Nah, that's so Back to the Future II

Got a little work in today:





@ nighthunter:
I took some pics for you but they're not fully in focus. I can post them if you want, though.

[nighthunter]

Sticky Fingers, I think it would be best if I waited till you were finished, LOL, I get a little ambitious. Finished means a better drawing for you to use, along side the model.

[Sticky Fingers]

No worries

This is brilliant, very Tonkaesque  I really wish more stuff like this was available in 72nd scale

I'm loving what your doing but I have to ask: Does it use strictly projectile weapons of will there be some energy weapons too? It's a wonderful WhIf either way.

[Sticky Fingers]

Good old fashioned HE/shrapnel/tracer/armour piercing/cluster projectiles, my friend.
All that newfangled laser- and railgun stuff is way beyond the competence of our underpaid researchers.

[Sticky Fingers]

Stretched the wheelbase somewhat. Also managed to tuck the wheels in a bit. Results:  it won't do a roly-poly every time it hits a bump, and it will only occupy two lanes whilst travelling on the motorway





Front end does a little happy dance:



This is how the rear ends were stretched. Need to at a bit more detail, but you get the idea:

Time for a coffee break. I think I deserved it.

And what's a coffee break without a smoke?

Thanks guys

Here's the Argun with pre-shade (first time I tried that) and colour no. 1 of the dreamed-up camo.


Due to receiving paint-and-glue-fume-related complaints (I don't mind the fumes, in fact I find they might just be my raison d'être) I'll be painting either
a) outside on the balcony (tried that with the priming: not successful with the winds being a bit unpredictable. I did managed to prime the model though. As well as my face.)
b) inside, in stages, when SHMBO's not in. And probably manage to paint my face as well.

Just wow.. this is a great kit an you are doing a bang up job  on it

[kerick]

Great job on the wheels. Appears to be the size of a mine truck. Patience on the painting, it will reward you in the end.
