BSG Land Ram

A couple of years ago, I got an mdf kit with an order of figures. I promptly mislaid the kit, then rediscovered it, and finally built it.

This is my first mdf model and I had to learn a few things "(Gentle, Lenny. Gentle."). Overall, it went together pretty well, even without the instructions. I added a gun to the cupola from the bits box and also made a hatch cover.

There was a lot of laser-etched detail that I didn't want to ruin with heavy paint so I sprayed and drybrushed this and then used a wash. I think I should have done something to fill in the glass but I was too far into the build when I figured that out. Guess I could make and add some kind of blast shield? Meh?

No joy finding useful decals in my boxes so I handpainted these based on the movie. 

I also cut a plastic figure to make a removable commander to it in the hatch.

I also found a piece of plastic to drop in show the hatch as buttoned up.

Overall, kind of fun and it more or les looks like the movie version (just shorter).
