Trumpeter 1/35 M1127 Stryker

Share






I've been really busy lately with work so it has been awhile since I last updated this blog. Anyway I'll post some photos of my recently finished Trumpeter 1/35 M1127 Stryker plastic model kit. This vehicle is the latest armored multirole vehicle of the US military. This is what I have been doing during my free time lately... Yes I need to shoot more often! I guess I got tired shooting since I have been taking pics for work more than personal stuff during the past few months. Anyway back to the topic, I started modeling when I was in grade 5 I think then I stopped late High School and just recently started again although this time more seriously. I ordered a new airbrush from the net and used some of my old paints. I weathered it using pastel chalk for the mud and dust. This kit took me about 2 months to build and paint since I just squeezed it in my busy schedule. Roughly it took about 30 hours to build. I have another kit in line this time a 1/48 Tamiya Sky-Raider ground attack fighter that was used during the Vietnam War. :P

Hi David! i just visited your webshots photos and all I can say is WOWWWW! Your models look great! How did you take those shots anyway? Is that a post card at the background or did you use forced perspective using a real background?

Thanks for the compliment David! Your english is ok don't worry! My primary hobby is photography and I just recently started modeling again hehe. Question how do you achieve the paint chip-offs on your models? Do yo just paint them on? or do you use a special technique? I really love the way you finish your models
