okay, folks, I am done with the build stage It was a lot of putty and sanding around the cabin roof...
A poster with a girl adds a nice touch to the model And the black thing under the engine is scratch from yogurt plastic. The one in the kit was incorrect.
Well, even more - I managed to start pre-shading! Want to do smth interesting with that one and hope not to fail Time is running out....
What I like about SMA is that you always have a possibility to learn something from great people here. A couple of weeks ago TRM started his tutorial series and that inspired me regarding what to do with my truck. No, I am not going to wreck it, but I did some multilayer chipping with the help of his tutorials, with only difference that I changed the order of paints.
Was that a good experience - definitely YES, does it look good - you decide
My intention was to show a truck that has a bit rust and was repainted once the pain was completely faded.
Transfered decals and going to do start the weathering.
For the license plates I read the information about numbers in post war Germany and then took a set of Alliance Model Works license plates.
The multilayer chipping looks interesting but I will add more rusty stuff later as well as scratches.
time to mess with pigments. These were just dropped on the model and then fixed with enamel thinner. After drying I removed excess with a clean brush (On the front tires they are still wet and I need to correct them on the inner surface of road wheels, but you get the feeling anyway). The tracks would be there soon
If you need a brand - that's combination of Vallejo and MIG.
