Zsolt Czegle AuthorThank you mates!
It's a fast project again for a Facebook Group build event Vörös Június ( Red June) between 12.6 and 12.7. The main rule: build a Soviet or Russian manufactured vehicle/pláne. So I decided to build this little excavator...

Zsolt Czegle AuthorThank you mates for your interest!
Meanwhile I attached some lead wires as "hydraulic tubes" there are still some pieces to glue and I can start with the most interesting part: the painting

Zsolt Czegle AuthorThank you Shar. I hope I can paint it and do the base chipping today. 🙂

Michael KohlYeah, that's the way it is suppose to look. The only slight issue I have are the hydraulic hoses. They look a bit too kinky. Being made frome rubber I would expect them to have a smoother routing. Probably something that can still be fixed.

Zsolt Czegle AuthorThank you Michael for your remark. After checking the reference photos I realized that the hydraulic tubes are shorter than I made, so I'll replace them! Maybe I'll replace them with coper wire instead of lead wires so they won't be so kinky.

Michael KohlFor my D9 build I used silicone tubes. They route nicely but attract dust like anything. So copper wire would be my choice too.

Zsolt Czegle Author"Hydraulic tubes" are removed. 😉
I painted additional dirt and grime effects with oilpaints.

Edgars BizūnsAmazing work, love the weathering all around! Also very finely produced model kit, lot to clean up?
21 July 2023, 05:10
Zsolt Czegle AuthorThank you Edgars! It's still ca. 90% completed.
The kit 3D printed so the casted resin parts had some visible layering but not that bad, so I could remove them with some sanding. The casting qualiti is perfect, there was almost nothing to clean. Fitting the parts was also without any problems.

Zsolt Czegle AuthorThe building phase is done. Weathering process is also completed. Now I have to complete the base and the figure.

gorbyCongratulations Zsolt. I assume that award means something a lot more impressive than 'OK level'. It's certainly a vast amount better than just 'OK'. 😉
