HL-10 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I built Tamiya's awesome Dragon Wagon straight out of the box except that I just detailed the armoured covers hold back latches with some scrap card, and I replaced the M2 .50 cal with one from Accademy. The kit comes with etched parts and chrome plated light reflector dishes. Also included is chain, cord, and vinyl pipes. The model was painted with Tamiya acrylics and Humbrol enamels. I deliberately went for a mis match of olive drabb between the tractor and trailer to suggest a bringing together of different units. Weathering was a done with washes and filters and pin washes with Raw Umber oil paint. The dried on mud was achieved by stippling on Humbrol model putty thinned with liquid poly. The Sherman came off my shelf of shame. I'd started it for an Ardennes project. It is the Tamiya kit with a partial resin interior. Thanks for looking. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Fantastic piece of work there. I wish I could produce stuff like that. p.s. I can see why the Sherman won't go - the battery cables are missing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddball Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Now that's some proper metal. Lovely weathering and detailing, it's a cracking kit eh? Also who does the Sherman? I've not come across any with interior details before. I bought the unit several years ago when I'd just started working, ahh the days of low digs and disposable income. Shame really since my skills were nowhere near developed enough to make something decent out of it. I may have to pull it apart and re-do it. That's why I love this place, inspiration calls wherever you look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Splendid build, really like the paintwork on both models and I'm dead jealous of your 'Duckbills'.....Not the easiest item to find in 1/72 for some reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
