Ron NL-S Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Oh! Another one from the good ol' days! I have been eyeing several on ebay lately. Loved it then and I love yours now. Even though I think the chipping is overdone. But each to his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky enough to find an Airfix boxed version a while back, a kit I had wanted since it was released but never managed to get. I think the moulds are now with Zvezda? John yes, this is the Zvezda kit (have to admit the decals are hobby boss - the kit ones were horribly yellowed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 Hairspray whitewash done. A little bit of shipping (enough?). Next up will be oil rendering with white to give some variation 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Hi Rob, nice work! Middle of summer ( ok -ish, nearly autumn) appears to be the period for doing winter schemes! Did you apply the hairspray direct from the can or decant it into the airbrush? Never done a winter whitewash and the old grey cells are going.... Cheers Darryl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Darryl hi Darryl... wanted to do it on a less "important" kit as I have it lined up for the SU122 full interior kit I have planned for next year. And yes - straight from the can, arms length, couple of even passes and let dry, then 2 more passes... find it a lot easier than dedicated chipping products. I have a feeling my white coat is too thick as not coming off as easily as I expected, just means I go with a less faded vehicle than I had planned... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Rob, going to have a practice with this and the salt technique before committing to a decent kit. I've the Su85, without interior thankfully, lurking in the stash somewhere that will need a winter finish Atb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 finally kicked myself to do some more work on this, added "dust" as a pre-cursour to mud effects (first time doing dust, used Mig old wood as it is the paint I was using elsewhere, should tone down when I add mud and then other pigments) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vytautas Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) Perfectly painted. Anything else you will do with the wheels? Edited September 27, 2020 by vytautas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robw_uk Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 been a while but getting close.. need to paint a few more bits of stowage (and may choose to do more) and then apply mud..... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper dog Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Hi Rob, the paintwork on the stowage looks really good, nice to see this one getting some attention! Bit of mud and then a figure or two perhaps? Atb Darryl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longbow Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) That's looking great Rob !! Needs some, a lot, of mud up those tires Speaking of figures, Alpine has a jeep crew that I bet would look great in that.

I will look at figures but more than likely will be adding them to the Wespe & Greyhound I have in the stash (and probably adding the driver from the Quad tractor to the Scammell transporter if he fits) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longbow Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 You need some dry graduation further up. Looking suitably wet and European though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamden Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Looks good to me Rob, the only thing I would say is that the two helmets on the side show no signs of any mud splatter, just my opinion. Stay safe Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
