Along with Country Paul I made the most of our week of summer and went at my Denix Hoth build. I've been holding out for a MGC but things didn't go as planned so this will do for starters.
I dug out a Denix I've had for a while. The nose was crushed so had to chop it of, I know it would've been better poking through the flash hider but it was a mess.
Cleaned and drilled and tapped.

Then tried the mount and pistons before painting.

Then it all went together

The FH isn't fixed yet, after a few coats of paint it doesn't slip on as far as I'd like and the coils aren't fixed yet as I wasn't sure which way round, I think this is right?
Also, the rivets look a little off in the pic but that's just a rare appearance from the sun casting shadows.
All that's left, apart from making the FH and coils good, is to beat him up a little. My wife began the weathering process a little early with her heavy handed approach to gun slinging. I only let her feel guilty for ten minutes before telling her that was the way forward
I have to say a big thanks to Michael/Lichtbringer for his quality mount, FH and disc along with Markus/OdiWan72 for their wealth of information. Also KhalDrogo for the real M19, cheers!
Next stop, ANH.
