Tamiya 1/35 M8 Greyhound,


Recommended Posts

Tamiya M8 Greyhound, with a couple of extra figures from the MiniArt US tank crew set and a selection of stowage from Redog.

Front wheel hubs removed, pinned and reset at an angle.

.50 coaxial barrel drilled out to give a better impression of depth.

Painted with Ammo mig US Olive drab and colour modulation achieved with lightened tones of OD, weathered with various Ak and Ammo mig products along with a little Mig pigment.

Stowage secured with E Z line.

 

Typical Tamiya no problems with construction and decals worked fine.

Great looking wagon, excellent paint job 😀

Thanks, always think figures bring a vehicle to life, however I still maintain producing good ones is a black art!

 

Thanks again chaps.

Aye up Darryl,

 

Great job on the hound. Really like the finish and weathering, especially on the wheels.

 

Regards,

 

Steve

Thanks Steve, glad you like.

 

The wheels were a first for me, usually do tracks or things with wings. As it turns out couldn't be easier, work the pigment of your choice into the wheel and tyre until your happy, load the airbrush with pigment fixer and a gentle spray holds in place. 

 

If I can help with owt let me know.

 

Cheers

Great job Darryl, but I do think that the commander might be saying to the driver "You got us up here, now you can get us down again!!"

 

John.

Hi John

 

Thanks for looking.

 

I have seen clips of the these at speed cross country and they definitely got airborne!

 

Need to sort a proper photo background out.

 

Thanks again
