Hi guys

I chose the "Jackal" to start my first "GB" at ISM.

Actually will be my second AFV. Let´s see how it goes. :crazy:

All pieces of the sprues removed and cleaned. Took me about 5 hours.

Image

Some parts are very small and fragile so the cleaning process must be done with care. Overall all parts well molded with great level of detail.

The glue phase is next. :pistols:

I think I have everything under control guys. :)

This kit is a dream in terms of fittings and details.

Image

Image

Meanwhile I started the little scratch work I intend to carry out. First the winch system.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Then improvising some belts for the seats. Some aluminum from a bottle of Portuguese wine will be perfect. :D

Image

Image

Continuing with the details for the belt system...

Image

The final result. Not totally happy with the result but I will not touch. :ooops:

Image

Poor pen.... :tongue:

Great start bud and excellent scratch building :th: Think i'll be doing the Coyote belts out of masking tape. If its fitting together as well as mine, you'll enjoy the build for sure! :th: :) :cheers2:

Not much to show only the result of my first experience with the brand new primer from Badge. Excellent product. :violin:

Thanks guys. :th:

Continuing with the work was time to primer.

Image

Image

Image

As for the painting work I began to mix the base color with a little white. Some randomly panels painted and then the same method but darkening the color base.

Image

Image

Image

Image

The next step apply very dilute layers with the base color. :thumb1:

Alright I admit it - this is starting to look epic, and such a strange vehicle too.

I started playing with pigments. The first time I use this kind of material.

Testing the wheels.

The conclusion is near. Take care. :thumb1:
