Hi there,

Since I didn't finish my '6 military wheels or more sig' build I thought in putting the progress here...
Link to my sig topic: http://www.intscalemodeller.com/viewtop ... 315&t=9600

I just started again 2 days ago (had a case of the lost mojo I guess)

Here are some pictures:

I tried some chipping on the back with the weathering fluid from AK interactive. I'm not totally satisfied with the finished product but it as good as it going to get




Since I don't have all the colours in the modelling world like some guys here *uhum Paul and Lee uhum* I had to make with a selfmade colour for the axle etc. I'm pretty happy with it...



And also managed to do some work on the diorama I was thinking on what details I'm going to use and adapted some of them (drainpipe, window and light). Also primed everything and airbrushed the road.




I will keep posting some updates here

Although I think this is in the wrong catergory

It's a military vehicle, no??

Looks brilliant so far. I love the weathered wood on the truck bed. That's well done.

Should have picked another colour for the wood though :p

Nah... it looks like worn old wood. If it's a vehicle that's been in service for more than a few months it would get battered pretty badly. The wood would get weathered very quickly once the paint is scraped off. It looks good.

Small update on what I have untill now

Btw. tell me what you think about the colour on the wall... Any other suggestions? or should I keep it?





I can almost put a clear coat on

nice job fella , if it was my wall , I would dirty it up a bit , bit too clean for damaged building. Maybe scuff the steps on the deuce & half at the same time. Well done mate

[bobbewieter]

Yea I still need to do that but these are the base colours planning on using wome washes etc

[JediBoer]

Great build! Love the weathering you did on the back of the truck!
