After the chapel this was the other vehicle that appealed to me. A prototype was made sometime back, but there was no mention of the release date.

The prototype looks similar but missing out some details from the original artwork.

I will try to modify my unit as close to the artwork as I can.

With the help of an ultrasonic cutter I made the cuts fairly quickly and neat.

With a hacksaw, I cut off the top segment of the arm. I was lucky I did not saw into the joint system and wreck my unit …phew!

Spent less than a week to CAD out the details of the Cabin and got a vendor to print it.

I was toying with the idea of various colour schemes but was feeling conservative. So I just went with Yellow and black brown. Next is a black brown wash.
