Some time ago I rediscovered Bryan's "NS466 Uhu"
Thanks friends at Ma.K. forum
I could quickly find the Neuspotter I needed.
It was a furious build.. so fun!
I tried to include the details I like from Bryan's model but when I added a spoon on the Neuspotter head I had to re-think the whole model using pieces from Dragon-Italeri (Ex Esci/ERTL) 1/9 BMW R75 Motorcycle (i.e. the gun is the exhaust muffler) ending with a linear gun armed AI used for base guard and convoy escort duties.
Being not bigger than a Gustav suit it can travel in thigh places forbidden to the Krachenvogel and fight close to troops.
For the two lenses at the "head" sides I used a drop of clear resin.
The gun tip and the "collar" under the "head" come from a BIC lighter.
Warnings decals come from recent Wave 3Q Kauz and AFS.
Gun Metal colour is graphite powder over a dark grey base.
This is my first attempt using only brushes and spray cans for gloss
(before the decals) and satin finish.
Shadows are literally painted with oils.
The name should mean "Floating/Hovering Ghost" as suggested by Mark Stevens on Ma.K. forum.
