Ripaman Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 I got some Humbrol 98 and 29 also the tamiya paint XF68, XF3 and XF1, mixed the 98 5 parts to 29 4parts and this is what comes out, I have not seen this colour so hope it is right. Can anyone let me know if it looks close Thanks. Until next time, Regards Richard 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripaman Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 Thanks Julian and Nige, what do you think of the colour?? does it look like SCC2 Nige it is going to be big not sourced any other than the ones posted wish I could find some.

Gremlin56 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 The color would appear to be a nice shade of bronze-green Richard but I am not an expert on the intricacies of BA greens and drabs I am afraid. Should it be completely matt or would it be a satin shade? Cheers Julian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okdoky Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 KFS do a few figures that could maybe be altered to give you something and there are the mechanic figures in coveralls by Tamiya that would need some alteration ! Nige 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripaman Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Hi Julian, to Ian his friend Ted, also Graham and Bull-Nut the colour should be S.C.C 2 Brown Have asked what the interior would be? Thanks Nige, I have two from KFS and also have the Tamiya mechanic sets, trying to get Reedoak to do like the picture of mechanics taking out the typhoon engine Regards Richard 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Colour looks a good representation of SCC2 to me.....With some filters and streaking it should look the business. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sgt, yes will have to use some filters/washes, do have some MIG (AMMO),True Earth, Ultimate weathering wash and AK Interactive to play with, not done to much with any of these so will just see. Have done some small parts to the on going build, did fid this picture on the web and I am using it as a reference There is a black box which goes behind the fuel tank, would this be for the batteries?? if it is this his how I built it Then made the frame to have it sit on Until next time, Regards Richard 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Just found this thread! Utterly wow. Your imagination and skill are an inspiration. I know nothing about lorries or cranes, so if you don't mind I'll sit at the back and just watch a master at work. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
