Slightly low mojo this weekend but I have delved deep and done some stuff

 

Those balls on sticks for the front mudguards. Will be assembled and placed once the milliput has set properly.

 

Bit of detail missing from the hoist added

 

Started on some 17 pounder ammo boxes. 

 

Quite like this as a layout. We will see 🤔

 

1:1 scale is calling over the next few weeks but hopefully will get some time in when I can. Started thinking about the windows as I'll be scratching those and might scratch the wing mirrors as well 😁. The chain is in the post but will be a while as I assume it's coming from China!!

 

Cheers all

Doesn't seem much done but I think this is it apart from the canvas which will be done after the main painting.

 

Olive anyone? Little balls of Milliput with a 0.4mm hole drilled in.

 

And every thing stuck on the mudguards. I dipped the balls in CA just to give them a smooth coat.

 

And some scratch windows. These will be open so the kit ones, while ok if closed are way too thick if opened. Need some clean up but should look ok when fitted. They are sheets of 50um PET and strips of wine bottle lead seal. They are currently also covered in finger prints!!!

 

Cheers all

More neat work to add to the detailing ....... lovely work! 

Keith ☺️

Very nice work with those width indicators Andrew. Probably because I'm not very observant, but I've never seen those on British trucks before. (Now, dozens of photos of so equipped trucks will appear). Great job on the windows too. Nice work.

Cheers as always Keith. Not sure about the neat. Those windscreens may have to be done again. The CA glue ain't shifting!

Don't do that to me! 😱I've just had to Google and make sure I haven't added a German mod! 🙄 Luckily yes the were original british fittings. Not sure of the period but they are there 🤗👍

 

Cheers all Andrew

Glad that your mind has been put at rest. I know to my cost that German vehicles had them fitted. I took one off with my Bedford RL,back in the '60s.

Right! We're there. All done bar the canvas.

 

I did scratch the 25lb cases but then plumped for a kit of 17lbr by Bronco.

 

The main reason I did this is for these.......

 

Lots of very detailed decals and the kit is actually very good. Glad I did.

 

So the last things to do were the wing mirrors. There were a couple of styles and I went for the more intricate double arm ones

 

 

Here she is all together (I did put the crane on after)

 

 

 

Layout for the crates. I'll still use the scratch ones at the back.

 

The only mod to the crates is cotton hand loops as opposed to the kit ones

 

 

So the spray booth will be dusted off and the next time you'll see her is with the base SCC2 on. I'm thinking  a disruptive pattern either SCC15 or G3. A good read of Mr Starmers bible is in order

 

Cheers all

That is so good that I've run out of superlatives. 😁

 

All the best with your paintwork. 👍👍

[Keeff]

Looking great as is .... it'll almost be a shame to cover all that brass with paint, but I'm looking forward to seeing the transformation.... 

 

Keith ☺️ 

[StuartH]

Outstanding work and I can't wait to see it painted 👏

Those ammo crates look the part too 👍

[Maddoxx77]

Great job so far 💪💪💪

Hi Andrew,

Outstanding progress, If I wore a hat, I would take it off, several times...lol

I love the work you are doing, and how it is coming to life, little by little.

Cheers

1:1 scale is now a little more sorted so on with the Scammell

 

I have consulted the oracle (British Army Colours & Disruptive Camouflage in The United Kingdom, France and NW Europe 1036-45 by Mike Starmer) and decided on the scheme. As outlined by Camouflage Disruptive Painting of Vehicles Military Training Pamphlet No.20, June 1939 - Scheme 1 - Base Colour Khaki Green G3 with Disruptive Dark Green G4. This is an early pattern which doesn't have the full disruptive colour on the horizontal surfaces as seen in later patterns.

 

Primed and highlighted with a white softened with a touch of buff

 

Then base coat of Khaki Green G3

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the ammo cases all done in SCC15

 

Now the fun can really start 🤡

[Maddoxx77]

Great result on the basecolor! 

[Bullbasket]

That looks excellent Andrew. Look forward to seeing this with it's markings on.

1:1 scale is all sorted so baxk to reality. Did a lot over the last couple of days. Put on the disruptive which is supposed to be a lot darkewr than this green but ho hum. Tires done, headlights done, decals done, gauges done, seats done etc etc. All basics are done . On to the finer points, some accenting and then on to the weathering. I mustn't forget the windscreens which are sitting in a little case plus the chains and block and tackle. I can't find any pics of what the ends of these chains looked like. Would they have just had a hook or a D eyelet or a specific chain arrangement?

 

Here's how she's looking so far
