tank152 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Hi all, I thought i'd share my latest project with you all which is this. I'll also be using the Hauler p/e set to replace various parts. First things to go were the running boards. Which were replaced with p/e ones. Also I cut off the moulded on detail off the bonnet and replaced that with p/e. The plastic steps on the rear mud guards, tool clips and number plates were also binned to make way for p/e ones. The hand cranks were made up with brass rod and tube. At the front end I used brass rod for the width indicators, added some wiring to the lights and used a p/e number plate. In the cab p/e was added to the floor along with the peddles and dash board. I admit to knowing little about the SS-100 apart from I like the look of it! There is more to be added to the cab but i'm going to paint up the interior first or i'll just knock everything off whilst doing so. One last pic of the bonnet side. More to follow, Tim. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 How to give an ordinary model some real character. Great work so far. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcoat2966 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I was looking at the Takom 1:35th of this the other day....really interesting vehicle. I was tempted to do something different..........but the stash needed attention.. Loving the additional detail, and looking forward to keeping up with progress. Nice clean work so far.... Simon.

Also thanks to everyone who hit the like button. I've a few more pics to share. First everything ready for primer. Primed, using Mr Paint black primer. Followed by a coat of RAL 8012 red primer, also Mr Paint, to the parts that will receive some chipping and general wear and tear. The interior parts I sprayed with some AK Real Colour Dunkelgelb. Yesterday I made a start painting up some cab details. I've applied some weathering tonight which is just drying off. Tim. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tank152 Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Finished applying some weathering to the cab. I've used oils for this. The dashboard received some uv cure glue over the dials to represent the glass. The dial faces are decals from Airscale. Tim. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaubar Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 The airscale dial faces are a nice fix. They do add significantly to the dashboard! Very well executed. /Stef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
