Auster AOP.6 'Antartica' (1/100, Prudenziati)

[Aloniuk]

Just finished this little model, dated 1999 from Prudenzio.

I printed it in my usual 1/100. I made the base from foam packaging, scribed in the ski lines and added footprints. The snowman is made from putty and his hat is an eyelet. I added a wooden sign 'Alien Base', as there is reputed to be such a thing under the ice there (I believe.... )

Nicely done with such an aged design. Nice little display base as well!

Fine work and a classic Zio. Nice display.

I like this model and have built it several times over the years. I wish mine looked like yours!

Very nicely done. What was Zio's original scale of this model?

Not too sure, as the scale isn't marked or stated on the website.... I reduced it quite a bit to get to 1/100.
