Katsucon Kitbash Part 4
I had several passes of primer throughout the build. Mostly to see how everything went together.

Once the ship was mostly done, I had to figure out an engine. I used the wheel covers of a Tamiya 88. This became the base for the engine. I began to add parts to it that "fit" or looked like they belonged on an engine. There are a few weapons that came with the models, added those in there as well.
The rear plate was taken from an old MPC Millenium Falcon. I added a bunch of greebie to try and disguise it.

Once I had the tank turret placed, I just started adding more and more pieces to the structure. I had no idea where anything went, I just let the parts "speak" to me. I wanted to make sure everything had a purpose and looked like it belonged there.
Katsucon Kit Bash
Katsucon. An Anime convention that takes place on President's Day weekend in Maryland. This year I was invited with my friend Lee Malone to host a few panels on model building. One of those panels was on kit bashing: making something from nothing. For this panel I decided to raid my parts box and make something from nothing for the show and the panel.
I started with part of a Saturn V rocket and some tank parts.
