New project: Legend 1/35 IDF Achzarit (Updated 7.15.11)

Just starting the Achzarit to compliment my Puma build. http://techmodworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/06/new-project-legend-135-idf-puma.html
This ground floor pic shows the lower hull cleaned up as well as a nut secured in place to hold the model during painting. Since the AFV has no turret, it will be difficult to hold while painting. The nut will allow a armature to be used during painting operations.


The hollow upper hull was reinforced with styrene tube, probably overkill, but I like em' built strong! Clean up was uneventful. Both upper and lower hull were slightly warped but if you work with resin it's part of life. Any warping was eliminated with a hair dryer set on high heat. The resin is heated until pliable then bent into shape. When the resin cools down the warp is eliminated.
