No-frills Pegasus War Machine
I need to do this more often.
I built this Pal MWM for my kid over the course of a single weekend.
Typically I tend to spend an annoying amount of time getting my models “just so,” but there’s something very satisfying about building a kit on the quick, straight out of the box, damn the torpedos full speed ahead. No fancy lighting, no elaborate surface prep, no painstaking structural “fixes,” just good, old-fashioned model-building fun like I had when I was a kid.
My son and his pals will no doubt trash this thing while playing with it, but that’s cool. It was a blast to build, and I need all the air-brush weathering & shading practice I can get.

What he's saying that he has more faith in your one weekend builds than some other folks' three week projects...

Thanks, guys.
For the record, that's just plain, old Model Master rattle-can copper as the base coat. Weathering/ shading is Tamiya hull red acrylic applied via airbrush.
Ordinarily I would've sealed the finish with some sort of clear coat, but in this instance I didn't bother.
I really would like to light one of these some day, but for those seeking decent results without a lot of bother this kit is as user-friendly as it gets.

Looks beautiful to me! This is a great little kit no matter how you build it. Nice paintwork and clean lines.

I'm thinking of buying this model. How is the fit among the parts? did it require any puttying or fitting?
