Global Scale Modeller

Hi guys,

Here are the final reveals of the long awaited Schwimmwagen!

Back in september of last year I posted the last picture of this project when I had
just finished adding the transparent acrylique kit/mastique for water, which was still very white at that time.

Here is a pict of when I had just applied the mastique.


In a previous attempt at making water I used 'water texture' from Vallejo. But that didn't become transparent
and it started cracking when it shrenk!
The kit took 3 months to clear!

Here's a link to the old thread: http://intscalemodeller.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=8734

But it has cleared up completely!
And here is the final result:
Enjoy!





































That's it folks!
A project that took a while to complete.
Waiting for the kit to clear up.
But it was well worth the wait!

cheers

Awesome stuff Han!!
Many claps and bows buddy for this...






Well done again Sir, this is excellent....

Wow came out great....im so glad it worked so well i remember the first attempt didnt work out and u had to tear it out and start over....awesome job

Yes! Due to the volume it really took 3 months to totally become clear.
It started at the edges and slowly cleared to the centre...


cheers

Fantastic result! Id have stripped it off after 24 hours and tried something else. Good on ya for sticking with it

All looks super Han . Bravo mate

Stunning build mate!

WOW nice water work

Hi Han think I owe you an apology, been looking at some of your previous work (which is just amazing) and you seem to do a lot of scratch builds, not just a one off sorry again. A question if I may about the mud/PVA mix you used , did you water down the PVA or just mix PVA and mud,I am building a ww1 dio the mud is from Passchendaele its self, so are the twigs for the trees so I do not want to mess it up.Thaks Pete

Apology accepted.
I do add water to the mix. The amount depending on how fluid I want to apply it.

cheers

Hi Han, mud/pva mix worked great on my ww1 dio, have you ever tried it to actually weather a vehicle this way? Pete

Actually no.
For mud on a vehicle I allways use white glue, water and pigments.
That's more controllable and gives subtile results.
