tonyot Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 This is coming along beautifully Ted and I love the added details,..... the wood effect on that box is just brilliant! The colour does look a bit yellow for Portland Stone but looks right for Light Stone,..... as used by the RAF and other overall sand schemes. Cheers Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to admit I have always loved this vehicle and after reading Osprey's The Royal Air Force A Centenary of Operations and finding out more about it's use I may have to build one myself, but probably in 72nd scale. It is an interesting car, such a throwback to the First World War. 7 hours ago, PlaStix said: Hi Ted. Excellent progress. I can't comment if it is the correct colour but it does look very yellow in the photos. But that may just be the light quality in the photos. I do like the detail work you are doing too. Going to look really good. Kind regards, Stix Thanks Stix, I'll try to tone down the yellow with weathering etc. 5 hours ago, tonyot said: This is coming along beautifully Ted and I love the added details,..... the wood effect on that box is just brilliant!

Cheers Tony Thanks Tony, if anyone ever asks I'll tell them it's Light Stone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 I searched the produce aisle and found the perfect netting on some garlic bulbs. I painted the netting and then stretched it around gluing it on the bottom and back with CA. I also started painting the little crew member. I have to wait to assemble his arms until I put him in the turret. Anybody else notice that all Miniart figures have the same face? I repainted the model in a less yellow colour, it's a random mix of Deck Tan with a little yellow added. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Nice progress Ted, I had not noticed the mini art figures have the same face until you mentioned it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 Closer than ever to finishing. I still have a couple more things to do before washes and weathering, but it's close. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 I finally finished this armoured car with some oil paint washes to add some depth and dust. I tried filling the lamps with Pledge to make lenses but after filling them, letting them dry, and then filling again many times, they are still only half filled. I'll try clear resin next time. Much as I like the look of it without markings I feel like it should have an air recognition symbol. Photos have been added to the Gallery. Many thanks to you all for the camaraderie during this GB. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Fantastic build Ted, as I've said before definitely the way to go to war. Are you going to have a joint photo call with the Airfix kit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Great build Ted I really do like these Armored cars. I really like how you subtle weathering makes it that much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Beautiful work Ted. I can almost feel the heat from your Gallery photos - it must have been very hot in there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 That turned out brilliantly Ted. Very well done. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
