Kelscale Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) Model Victoria's beautiful resin Fiat 626. Finished as a Normandy veteran, inspired by a photograph of one sat in a dump behind some Pz IV's, on one of the first few pages in the excellent Panzerwrecks Normandy 2 publication. There are also a few 626's right at the back of the image on the fold out rear sleeve in the same book. The cab roof 'dalek' side lights and 'suicide' type doors are a dead giveaway I built this a number of years ago but have been playing about with backdrop photos Edited March 15, 2022 by Kelscale 56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APA Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) Ooh I like this. Rust is first class and your tyres! That colour is perfect. That brown tint works really well. That's something I've been thinking a lot about recently and notices on real lorries. Andrew Edited June 5, 2021 by APA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnl42 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 That's a fantastic build and finish! And the photography is excellent too! Convert one of those to gray scale and you could claim it's a contemporaneous photo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toryu Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 That is very impressive! The model alone is a gem but with the backdrop and photo perspective it looks realer than real. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigster Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 How nice is to see another softskeen, rather than Pzkpf x. And some of those photos can be easily mistaken for "colorized" originals 😀 Great modelling Zig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks NIK122. Yes, the photo was printed onto an A4 sheet of paper and placed behind the vehicle. I have recently posted in the Photograph section of the forum about my photo backdrops Edited November 26, 2021 by Kelscale Meant to say , apologies for all the late replies :) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
