Hewy Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I built this das werk (ex dragon) raupenshlepper rso over christmas with the intention of trying out a worn out winter effect paint job , i learnt a bit using it ,but it's turned out a bit dark with the washes, maybe next time I'll brighten it up more before hand, I made the tarp from sculpting resin, it had seen better days and was difficult to form, and the stowage from bits and bobs ,the magic tracks were a dream to assemble, a nice old kit, if a little on the small side, Cheers all Glynn 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Lovely job Glynn. It looks as though it's gone through at least one Russian winter. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModelMonkey Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Love it! One of my all time faves. I made the original 1970's Tomy boxing a few years back. Almost limitless opportunities for the cargo area from field kitchen to ambulance and everything in between. Great work on the finish too - looks great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks , Originally i was toying with the idea of die glocke on the back partially covered ( theory is it stood 4 meters high and 2 meters wide) so that wouldnt fit but it is something i want to do , maybe on the back of a us gmc 352 truck though 20 minutes ago, Bullbasket said: Lovely job Glynn.

FrancisGL Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Hi Hewy, A nice model very appropriate for a diorama, I really like the objects you have put on the back, and the tracks. Cheers and TC Francis.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 That's a little gem. It looks a hundred years old. Amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper dog Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I really like this, the paintwork is tremendous. Particularly like how you've worn the whitewash away, you can actually get a sense of the layers. Really like the tarp over the stowage too. Looks cold, grubby and well used! Brilliant Darryl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcoat2966 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I have to agree with the previous comments Glynn, a really nice job all round. I have to be honest, your self critique of too dark etc. isn't the case IMHO. I feel that Axis vehicles, especially in the East were well worn and considerably grimy, dirty and filthy was the reality......a consequence of nothing to replace it very often, so make a mend was the name of the game. I don't really think you can over do winter camo' and dirt filters really. Nice job..... Regards Simon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
