German Hanomag Sdkfz251/1

[RickyE]

This is my very first build in years. I have been working on it since yesterday and still have some work left to do on it. I may have went over board with the chipping and I also forgot to do the camo pattern before the chipping so I just left it like this...lol.. This kit came with some figures and I am in that progress right now. My first time ever doing figures so it is a challenge for me. I am waiting to purchase some stuff to do pigments and weathering.

I remember doing this kit 20+ years ago, great kit, and you are doing it proud!

Wow talk about a blast from the past... That was one of the first 1:35 kits I bought. Saved all my money from bringing papers for it. Only to ruin it with the most hideous paintjob ever and rescratched it into a makeshift pigsty on a farmyard.

Yours is looking very good. wished my Hanomag looked as good as this. What color is the light bodycolor?

I used Tamiya sky grey. I was planning on doing some camo but I rushed into the chipping part lol.

Here is another update to this kit. I purchased some sanded tile grout at Home Depot and used it for mud pigments. I also used the grout without anything and keeping it just powder to make dust effects all around the vehicle. Not knowing how it would look like , I used different methods I learned from You Tube for each side. Tell me what you all think about it. I would really like some feed back, good, bad, or just advice.

really nice work on the halftrack!

 

[RickyE]

Alright everyone here is the finished kit on a diorama. I was not sure at first how it would turn out but I am really happy with it. On a personal note, I think I am hooked now...lol..This kit was really fun. The mud looks darker on the base cuz it is still drying. It is the same powder color I used on the tracks.

 

[wyoroy]

Cool

 

[geegad]

[RickyE]

Thanks, I really enjoyed building this. I have more to come considering I purchased 3 kits at once..lol..
