New one on the way

[Guest]

I remember as a youngster when the Tamiya 88 mm Flak gun and half track came out and everyone wanted one. It still is a stunning kit all these years later. Great job so far with yours, it's coming together really nicely. A kubelwaggen always adds some interest to a little gathering and you've done a good job of yours with a bit of weathering and dirtying so I'm sure it is going to look great when it all comes together. The hardest work with such dioramas though is always the figures and with all the vehicles you are going to have together you will need quite a few!!

Thanks Bunkerbarge,

I agree with u about the figures, i am yet still to get the 8 ton halftrack to go with it, this will add even more figures to the Dio, this will take some time as im not very good at painting figures.

I think i may have overdone it with the wethering on the kubelwaggen so i think i will tone it down a bit.

John mate this is starting to come together nicely the 88mm and the wirlwind the kubelwagen is looking very nice. i have the 88mm and the 8 ton semitrack and i love em so i can't wait to see the diorama, so keep up the cracking work.

'HELP', I think im turning in to a techy, i'll explain, while building my KS750 i found Tamiya has left of what i consider (as a former machnic) a major engine component, the down pips from the cylinder head to the equalizing chamber, so a quick tinternet thingy & found what i was looking for (simples) so i set about making my own, but befor i new it i had made HT leads, clutch & brake cables and even the leavers for the handel bars where will it end, Ahhhh. LOL.

These look really great!

Love your chipped paint, is that done with a pencil? maskol? or some other way?

[Guest]

Thanks for the comments Fewzz,

I used a dark gray primer then painted dark yellow top coat then used brown wash, then used a craft knife to scrape off the dark yellow to show the primer.

The outlining is done with dry brushing with Dark gray.

I used my hobby table lamp to heat up the mudguard to put the dent in it.

Glad u like as im new to wethering and im still experimenting.
