stips Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Seeing the Script "DAK Flak Truck - North Africa, 1941" by Glenn Bartolotti In which he step by step creates his own model I got the desire to do something like this. Otherwise it's one of my excursions to scale 1/35. After the decision I went to my stock and I found: - Italeri Chevrolet 15 CWT - Dragon 20 mm Flak - RB metal tube for Flak Apart from the list I found a lot of good wills which I immediately took. In a couple of days, I demolished Chevi to the unrecognizability, but the look was satisfactory. In the meantime I started work on the Flak, which I agreed for one day. Putting the wooden floor into the rear of the vehicle I got the floor from which Flak could operate 360 degrees. I made a wooden floor from wooden slats and wooden beams. Wood gives a much better effect than plastic After arranging and picking up some other parts on a vehicle such as a spare wheel, ammunition boxes etc. I started the process of finishing, On the base color (RAF Middelstone (ANA615) (F) MM-1/2 I applied Briitan decals which, after finishing drying, re-gently squeezed with the basic color, but they are actually lightly bubbling beneath the paint. (ANA616) (F) MM-1/2 started the process of high-light vehicle. After that, I did the washing with oil painted with terpentine. After finishing the washing I started chipping in the same way The white effect of the faded color was obtained by adding a few white oil painted spots to a vehicle that was lightened by the light brushes of the drip in the turpentine, until it was clogged with the backing. The car was placed on the surface I did with the creeps of "Nature in scale" and Noch. I really enjoyed this project and I warmly recommend it to each of you.

FrancisGL Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 It is an excellent vignette, the vehicle is very original, and its finish is very real for my taste. The used cartridges, I love them, and the base gives a very convenient feeling of reality. Cheers mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
