Haven't been at the bench much over the past several weeks as the wife has been down with the COVID. Since she is on the up swing and doing much better so I figured I'd post this old build from a few years ago.

This is a Dragon kit with epoxy putty sandbags. This was built right after I retired so it was my first serious build in about 20 years...had lots of fun with it.

Thanks For Stopping By

Here is the reference photo I used for this build. Form what I could find out about this is that the cans where most likely filled with concrete...
