Hi guys
I just can't resisit the temptation to start a new project!
This is the Dragon RSO/3 & PaK38 kit from Dragon, purchased at a knock down price of £25! I wanted (like a lot of you out there) the RSO/1 kit, but at £45 just for the RSO + extra for the gun I compromised.
The real reason for the kit is that i want to challenge myself to have a go at sculpting some limbs for the troops I will have in the load bed and if i'm brave enough sitting on the gun too!
I often find that I try to fit the vehicle to the figure and not the other way around so in the interest of realism I am trying my hand at sculpting.
I intend to make the skeleton with wire, use milliput to make up the bulk and then create the detail with a 50/50 mix of green stuff and milliput, which I have been told will give fine detail but remain sandable.
If anyone has any tips to share regarding the sculpting I am open to offers as I've never attempted them before.
The base will be a typically muddy eastern front scene, so a good opportunity to mucky it up!
Thanks for looking
