Re: Finally finishing my Cooper Crawler
Yeah, can't wait to take some sunlight/dusk pictures with it on the base. Even more excited to finally clear this space on my side bench. :thumbsup
Guy - yeah, when are you going to finish yours... has it been sitting on the bench longer than mine has? :lol
A view of the "dark" side...

Got it all done except for the final blending/weathering on the bogeys. Took it outside to snap a few pics before losing sunlight... almost there now!
And one on the display rack...
And, hmmm... :rolleyes

Thanks... I had a few builds to look at for you guys that did yours out of the gate a while back. Much appreciated... :thumbsup
Finishing the bogey weathering tonight and should be cooler out tomorrow evening to take some final pics. Found a couple of tubes of sand that I used to throw in my pickup over the winter, so I may try to take some "extended" desert pics... :love

Re: Finally finishing my Cooper Crawler
Wrapped up the bogeys... few pics.
Wierd: A forest fire 450 miles away in MN and exact wind conditions have the outside air conditions here very smokey for the next couple of days. Kind of annoying outside and the sky is too hazy for good pics. Whew - thought the stormtroopers had shot up my sandcrawler to get the droids! :lol
Will take some final pics and post this weekend... what a fun project this one was!

The sun and clouds were partly cooperating, so I ran out and got a few final shots. Had to work around all the background noise in the pics (power lines, houses, etc.). One of the few I could position with a sky shot...

One minor addition... darkened up the jawas and added more flat. Think I grabbed a jar of flat earth wash originally... they were still a bit light and shiny.

Look for Micromachines Jawas on the web or eBay. They're approximately 1/96 scale. For R2 and 3PO look for "classic characters". There are 2 varieties, either will work well.

As I look at the pics of your work, I'm hearing the Dune Sea Sandcrawler track by John Williams, in my head.
Very nice. I wanted this kit but since I never have built any real kit, it's not the best to start with. It would be a shame to mess that one up :behave
Good job.
