Another one to finish… The JVBT.
OK, I really like Armada Hobby models, but the instructions are, well, less than ideal. (And the parts are not numbered…) This makes assembly a tad more difficult that it should be. These models have the usual “small-scale resin” issues: flash, warped parts, the occasional bubbles, but they are not much of a problem. The instructions, however – well, let’s just say, in order to finally finish the model, I just put everything together as best as I could. (I am fairly certain the top platform is not correctly placed… and I have some leftovers, which make me a bit uneasy that I left some stuff off, although I could not say what.)
Yeah, I need some more practice with resin tracks; that is entirely on me.
On to the painting…
I used soldering wire for the chains – unfortunately I could not straighten them out to look convincingly weighted.
Other than that – I am quite happy with the results. (Gluing the models onto GW’s little bases for weathering and finishing was a godsent idea -it really minimizes damage from handling.)
