Sairou Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 So, this was a quick paint job by my standards, considering I painted the base coat this time last week, but it's certainly one I'm proud of. I feel like the weakest aspect of the weathering are the wheels, however the paint did not want to stick to them, making me loathe to try too much. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Great! I love this little vehicle. You can see the genes that spawn the likes of the Hanomag, and the light armoured cars and indeed heavy armoured cars in this.  I don't know why you had trouble with getting the paint to 'stick' to the 'wheels'. Do you mean the tyres? Are they rubber tyres or plastic?  Reaguards, Badder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned from my mistakes and thoroughly washed the tires on my latest model (link below), and have been careful not to handle them too much, and I've had no real issues. I heard that PVA glue on the rubber tire can help paint stick.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll spell it tyres cos I'm English I don't know if it's any help at all but in Tiking's last diorama he had to deal with rubber tyres and he sprayed them with matt varnish first. I have to say the effect of 'old rubber' he got was very realistic. Â Rearguards, Badder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrancisGL Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 A strange and interesting vehicle, I love the tone of the gray panzer, something blue, that fits very well with the weathering dust. , cheers mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I have a book that I purchased some years back and it has a few photos of this machine and I must say you make it look like it's just jumped off the pages well done 🤓🖒 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
