Honour Build Humber MkIV


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Here I present an honour build I did last year. Sadly the person I built this for died a few years ago, that'll teach me to procrastinate!!

 

This is based on the Tamiya 1/48 Humber Armoured Car MkIV with cut outs and a full scratch built interior

 

The vehicle represented here is based on photos I have of my Grandpy's car that he served as driver in while serving in 56th Div, 44 Recce Reg in Italy from 'early '43 until wars end.

Fabulous. I like how you did the cutouts with the red borders. May I ask, what is the procedure you use for the paint chips?

Sure.....

 

Raphael 8404 size 1 brush and W&N FW Paynes grey Ink.

 

Dots, dabs and slashes in random places, concentrating around handles, and edges that are used regularly, only occasional marks to large panels as this would only be subject to a small amount of contact by brush and bushes etc,

 

Keep in mind scale as at 1/72 scale a 0.5 mill dot would be about 75 to 100mm in real life, but only around 50mm at 1/48
