SPA Modeler

Well my latest build that I'm doing for a Group Build on Discord. Dragons 1/35 Sd.Kfz. 251/22 I've built several of Dragons 251 kits so I know what I'm getting into. The only really place to watch is getting the floor and sidewalls lined up correctly.

Then got some work done on this over the past week just haven't had much time till now to post anything.







Next I will be working on painting the interior.

Thanks for looking in!
Skol!

Watched the video this morning with my coffee, very informative, as I have the same kit in the stash, but have not built a DML 251 before.

Always liked the 251s. I know Bish is a huge fan. I don't know where you guys get the patience to build those tracks . That and roadwheels keep me away from most armor subjects. Probably a good thing considering my stash would be 2x.
Great work so far Clint. Looking forward to the rest of this build.

Nice start Floki - Skol!

Great start Clint! I haven’t built a Dragon kit in years, so I can sympathize with your approach on this 251. Study the instructions well, test fit the parts, then commit to gluing…

They can be a bit tricky, the Ausf. C is a lot harder to line up compared to this Ausf. D

Thank you! I don't mind these tracks that can be made workable, if the kit tracks aren't workable I'll go AM I won't fight indy tracks or trying to paint rubber tracks again. That's just me nothing wrong with them and guys can make them look amazing I just don't have the time or want to use them anymore.

Thank you Carlos! Like every Dragon kit test fitting is key and don't be afraid to deviate from the flow of the instructions. They lie to you

Ain’t that the truth!

Beautiful work so far. This is amazing.

I have to ask though, what is 'Discord'? I play an online game and many of the clans recruiting state that Discord is mandatory for membership. Needless to say, I don't join those.

Keep ti coming man! I also know about Dragon instructions as I've built almost their entire line of 1/72 armor models. Yeah, their instructions are an exercise in creative reading....

Thank you Mark! Sometimes I wonder if who ever makes the Dragon instructions have ever seen the kit.

Discord is kind of a forum server that in the gaming side is mostly used for voice chat and planning. The server hosting the GB is called model idiots, a great bunch of guys

I've been working on painting the leather and wooden interior parts this week.






I think everything turned out looking good, the driver seat I think looks awesome too bad it will be extremely hard to see on the finished model

Thank you all for looking in!
