Mal_Belford Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Ill give a teaser....on my diorama, and it will be posted in another section of this forum.... my first finnished figure ive ever done....this one will do, Verlinde shure is poor in quality casting, ill try another manufacture, since ive seen far superioer ones, but hey, im still novis about them figures, hard to make em alive. Say hello to my my interpret of Oscar Bosh...Tired...Tired look, pale, stress, no happiness...no sleep...it is late War and allies are bombing night and day, so no surprise he got that face.... /Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcclure Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Nice work on the Bosh figure Mal - he looks just the part. He's probably had no more than a brief nap over the past few days and is seeing the war going very badly. Cheers, Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Belford Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Thanks Roger For the kind words... Thats what i were thinking to. One thing i realized about painting them figures, face exprerssion is very important, shure is hard and difficult to do.. /Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panzer948 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) Sorry to bring up an old topic but I just bought the Signifier version of the oil cart and am getting ready to tackle the build. This will be my first full resin kit (I am not counting accessories, figures, etc.). I love how you painted yours. Great work. I was wondering if you or others did any research on the base coat for the oil cart. My instructions do call out Dark Yellow but also Panzer Grey and another version with Dark Yellow with Vermicelli Dark Green. I am building this for a Luftwaffe Airfield scene with a JU88A1 during the Battle of Britain period. Obviously that setting will be in Western Europe. Would an oil cart be painted a base coat of Dark Yellow during that period/location? It seems more typical for North Africa. Personally I would prefer to paint it Dark Yellow if it fits the time period as I think the weathering effects I plan on using will stand out more. Just not much out there on this little guy.

FZ6 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Nice looking cart Mal, The weathering is great for a piece of equipment that must have seen a lot of use.

For a Battle Of Britain JU88 diorama you would need to paint it Panzer Grey. All German vehicles were painted Panzer Grey as standard till early 1943 then the standard colour changed to dark yellow and dark green and red brown paint were issued to units to camouflage the vehicles appropriate to the conditions they were fighting in. Hope this helps, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps, Mark Wow, I was one day away from painting this its base coat (I added the lower dark brown primer with various acrylic rust colors a couple of days ago and will chip the base color using AK's Heavy Chipping Fluid to reveal this lower rust colored layer). Anyway, I was all set to paint the base coat the Yellow tone. So you warned me just in time. I have to admit though I am a little disappointed to follow the correct historical time period. I was looking forward to including a bit of yellow in the scene with all the dark greens and browns and thought it would look well scrapped up revealing some rust tones beneath (like Mal's). Oh well... Good thing I have Panzer Grey on hand. If anyone knows of a loophole I can use just let me know. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
