Why Pariah's Projects are always delayed....

[PariahZero]

Its amazing how much doing military stiff can inspire you.
After spending the day shooting the .50 cal, I'm now nearly completed this set. The men are all done, and the LAV has its basic shape done. Pics will be up soon, hopefully tomorrow.

[PariahZero]

Ok, so picture update time. Here's pics of the LAV pre-stowage, and the last 2 men.

I've also shown a pic of my attempt at gloves for the radio man, and esp. for ModernKiwi, choc-chip camo on a helmet.

All that's left now is stowage and the base yay

[ModernKiwi]

Yay for choc chip cammo. LAV looks good too. One of these days I'll dig out some photos of my old Esci 1/72nd "modern" US Army in choc chip.

[PariahZero]

Yay for appreciation!

Unfortunately, the problem with this being an old kit, is that the decals now have a faint grey outline around the edge of them. Yay for old kits.......

[PariahZero]

YAY!! So, the model is done. The base is having the finishing touches applied (sand and paint). And then I'm done!!

Pics will be in the morning (damn winter!) - and then onto the next project!!!

EDIT: So while the base is drying, I thought I'd do a quick model to keep my creativity going. This time a Cessna O-2A. The old Airfix 1/72 kit. Pics to follow

[PariahZero]

So finally pics!!!

Here's the pics of the finished LAV diorama - although I have to be honest that it's after growing on me now that it's finished

And 2 pics of the O-2A. The kit parts, and how it stands this morning (more would've been done only for damned Metro 2033 being addictive....

[PariahZero]

So here's pics of the 0-2A made. Filled, and with windows covered. Painting next!!

[ModernKiwi]

That O-2 is a cool little kit. How will you end up basing it?

[PariahZero]

Im just gonna use the old clear stands that you used to get with kits. Not assed doing a base

[ModernKiwi]

Oh OK. I thought it might look rather nice over some jungle terrain or the like, But then I'm not the bloke who has to go to all the effort to acheive that... :-)

[PariahZero]

I would honestly love to do something like that! Its just a case of finding a suitable base! ;-) got any suggestions?

[PariahZero]

SO the model's just done. only problem with an old kit like this... the decals yellowing.
but apart from this, this has been a class model to make. Very little I could fault. Nice build overall. Now onto the next project ....

So here's the pics. The load-out I went for was 1 bomb, 1 gun pod and 2 rocket pods. And I don't know if it can be seen in the pics, the yellowing of the decals, but its noticeable IRL. Anyway, enjoy.

[ModernKiwi]

Sorry, no real base suggestions, but I did like this...

[PariahZero]

OK, so the next project if for the brother. While not strictly real-world, it's based on such. Anyway, the next project is a super detailing of this jeep.

Aim to make is as close to the real thing is possible.

[PariahZero]

OK, so some progress has been made on this jeep. Here's the interior with the scratchbuilt pedals and handbrake. Many other parts of this are awaiting finishing touches. Pics once they done.

[PariahZero]

SO here's the 'tub' of the interior. Also have a pic of the little details I did - speedometer and InGen logo on steering wheel. C&C welcome.

[PariahZero]

Forgive the lack of Pictorial updates, but I HAVE been working on this model. All the "Snatcher" bits have been painted silver, and the Jeep is getting is last coat of Paint.
Here's my attempt at making the rifle that they use on the top of it.

[ModernKiwi]

A very cool project. Is there a scale on that?

[PariahZero]

Yeah,the jeep is 1/25th - so was really awkward to do things for

[PariahZero]

Ok, so the jeep has been finished!!

Here's a shot of the 4 sides.....








And a shot of two detailed areas.
The Right Side, with fuel stain, and exhaust staining.


And the top, with rifle w/restraining chain, and rubber buffer on claw arms
