Autocar 7144T tractor - Real Model - 1/35

Postby Marcos Serra » Mon Dec 26, 2011 3:13 am

Hi, Gents...

Marcos Serra (Panzerserra) from Brazil, here ....

I'd like to introduce to you my latest project in progress:

This kit in resin, from Real Model, in 1/35 scale:
Image

It´ss a model that always wanted to build and I confess I was eager for the opportunity to build this truck. I love resin models and we'll see what holds this project

First of all, the real thing: These tractors were very, very huge ...
Image

Image

And the resin kit, open in my workbench:
Image

The instructions are horrible:
Image

...and the quality of the kit is awful!!
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

To transform this:
Image

In this:
Image

...I spend 15 minutes...The devil has been doing this work more than 7 times ... an unjustifiable waste of time for the price of the kit ... A real disappointment ...

:evil: :evil: :evil:


But no use crying ... The important thing is to build ....

The cabin floor and front fenders:
Image

The side rails of the chassis, clean. Thank Goodness, these parts were not so bad ...
Image

The construction of the chassi, based only in the instructions, was a impossible task...Thank to Gods for the internet:
Image


Image

Image

and:
Image

Building the tractor´s "snout" ... Look at the "fittings":
Image
Image
Image

After tons of putty:
Image
Image

Well, after blood, swet and tears, the truck lokks like this:
Image
Image
Image

After primmer:
Image

And the actual stage: painted and coated to a fine layer of Future, for decals:
Image
Image


Please, see all the sorrow, here, in my Bunker;



Please, be my guest and bye, for now !!!!

regards

Panzerserra

Very interesting subject. Looks like there were some quality control issues with that kit. I would have sent it back, but you did a great job on it. Looks good.

Well, Gents...

I finished this girl, enjoying the off days of the end of year ....and after a scare with a material that I tried to use to make the canvas ...

The Real Model kit was a torment, but I think the end result was nice ...No pain, no gain !!!

But, see the Girl: (I love COE trucks ...)
