Hello.
This time Italeri in 35 scale. It isn't fresh one, finished more than year ago.

Build just with putty and extra thin cement from tamiya...


After surfacer and humbrol 113...




..and base with humbrol 94, highlights with 74...


some tests with dry pastels


...and rest.


































Build in less than that 3 days for model show in m town ;D

very nice, is that a coal burner of some kind?

Since all high grade fuels were War support priority.... Civilians and low key military vehicles were running Gas (pressurized) converted engines or in this case a "Wood Gas" plant

Very cool in deed!

 

[spud]

so it was a wood burner? and that ran the truck? how? lol

 

[scratchmod]

Now this is different. Love the weathering...especially on the boiler...very nice

 

[bartekk]

Yes, that's wood burner and that runs truck.

Thanks for your coments. Also i decided to change pics a bit, I had no full satisfaction.

I liked very well the effects of weathering, it would be good to explain the techniques used in this model to get the chipping.

Watch a different model is always good. Don`t stop mate.

congratulations.

Little chips are made with tiny brush and humbrol 98. How i made bigger rust areas? First overpainted with humbrol 113. Next I applied with dense sponge few brown, rust colorus like humbrol 98, 113, 160, but first of theme was 18 (orange). Rust is evince with hairspray technique. Hope you understand
