GENET Tabletop gaming model collection

Moving on to the undercarriage and wheel mounts.
Here is the part for the undercarriage.

I am not certain how, but I have lost the photos of the assembled undercarriage.

Here is the part for the wheel mount.

I have (pre) greebled the wheel mount. I have also included the parts for the (independent) axel.

Starting to assemble the wheel mount.

The wheel mount is assembled. The "line" that is on the white disc, is an indicator to show that the axel does turn.

I attached the wheels. Unfortunately, I did not detail the wheels (If I build this again, I will detail out the wheels).

Here is a video showing that the wheels spin (even though the fitting is rather tight) and that the front fork rotates.

Wow!!! Love it!:) Always great to add mechanical motion to these models. It really brings them to life!

:BRAVO::BRAVO::BRAVO:

Genet Models were one of the first models I built when first starting out (years ago now) due to the simplicity and clear instructions. Great seeing that you are tackling these projects with your great skill set. They also came with some neat dioramas that you can mix and match with other models.:)

Here is a comparison between the two Buggies. The one on the left is the "AS-IS" version. The one on the right is the "GREEBLED" version.

Here are "close-up" shots of the buggy.

Thank you for the kind words and encouragement.
I have to say that I really like the simplicity of the models (as a whole), as well as the fact that they printed texture lends itself very well for greebling (which is the main reason for this thread). I would recommend these models to anyone who is looking at getting into the hobby of paper/cardstock model building for the first time and wants a nice looking model to start out with.
You mentioned the templates to make diorama. I am planning to make a BSG inspired diorama using the crews quarters set (however, I am not certain when I will tackle that one).

Thank you sir. Some of it was (slightly) challenging. However, all in all, it was a fun project.
I have to say that I really like these models. They are easy and fun to build and interest to greeble out.

I hope that this thread inspires all who are watching this thread to try their hand at building (and greebling) these models.

Thank you for the compliment. I am glad to hear that my build is inspiring you to rebuild these GREAT models!
I look forward to seeing how your models turn out.

Absolutely fantastic! I really like the moving parts! I see an area where you could spruce it up even more: these rectangular plates on the rear sides could be beefed up to look like the boxes around the engine section of a Battlestar. Not quite as thick, of course,but just a little bit more with angled sides.
