The Armament of this Tomato Cat is very unusual. I have made a mistake with the TALD : i thouht that it was a JSOW. May be i will change it if a TALD exists for the 72 sclae modelers ...

Looks sweet! You did a bang up job. I still think that the red skunk stripe is soooooo, well not pretty. But it is unique and you need one in the collection.

Are you kidding!? I love this scheme! The red and gray make make me think it should be flying down the Death Star Trench!

This is a great build and now one that I plan on doing. Well done!! :yahoo: I had not considered doing this scheme until I saw your finished model. Simply outstanding!

I do have a tactical question for you on your build. Did you had the little clear parts during the main part of the build (before painting) or did you add these fiddley bits as one of your final steps after the model was painted & decaled? I have been trying to figure out the best time in the build process to add these parts so I might as well ask an expert!

Have fun modeling!

Mike

:cheers:

Hi Mike et thanks a lot for all your comments,

I am not an expert in modelling, and it's a very very very long road to reach this level ...

So, for this model, i have placed cristal parts after decalling and painting. This is usually my process. But i think that it's not a good method.

So, in the future, i will glue cristal parts before (during the build itself...),and then, i will protect all this parts for the paint stage. I have had some problems to sand correctly the putty used for these parts...

And all the modellers that i know glue these parts before...

Thanks again.

Seb

Thanks again.
