Hello fellow modelers!
This was my 2nd car ever, and my first car and figure in 35+ years, but I had to try 😀
It was OOB, with slight modifications and a figure from another box.
Hope you like.
Cheers,
Manuel
Looks pretty darn good to me , @magrus.
Thanks Tom! @tcinla
Really nice work on the Puma, Manuel. I especially like the way you have done the splashed-on mud effects and chipping for the rust patches. The nicely-painted figure really adds some animation to the vehicle and also highlights that it is quite petite as an armored car. The Italeri Puma is still a good solid kit, accurate and very buildable. I have one to do in my stash, as well as the Dragon version. You have done a first class job on yours especially considering it is only your second model of this type!
Thanks @coling!
Yes, definitely the kit is quite nice to build.
As for the chipping and splashes, they were absolute debuts for me, but I had to try what I saw other modelers do on YouTube 😉
Outstanding work, figure and vehicle!
Many thanks Robert.
Absolutely like it, Manuel @magrus
Especially the weathering and paintwork is very nice.
Thanks @Johnb!
And it was quite fun too 🙂
Amazing result, Manuel!
Congratulations!
@fiveten thank you my friend !
Very nice. Well done on the vehicle and the figure. Do you have plans for ground work to display it on? That would really set it off.
Hi Gary! @gwskat
Thanks for your kind words!
Having seen your awesome work, I don't know if I dare to make a dio to it 🙂
Maybe I'll give it a try
Thks
Thank you, Manuel. Seeing what you did with the build I think you'd do a fine job with a base, give it a try!
Thanks Gary! @gwskat
Thank you for the encouragement! I'll try.
Just have to imagine a scene 🙂
I like non~track military vehicles, especially when they are as good as this one. I guess it would look good in a diorama, but it's also fine on its own, definitely liked.
@chinesegeorge thank you!
I think I may end up building a small dio for it...
Thank you very much!
