Hobby Boss Sd.kfz 221 Panzerspahwaggon 2.8cm gun New photos

[Alan 45]

I started this some months ago but lost interest but my son has bought me the sd kfz 222 for my birthday and my mojo returned for it


The kit is very well detailed with a full interior but I mucked up the painting of which is why I think I lost interest


It goes together very well apart from the upper hull I suppose this is on purpose so you can take it off to look inside


I should have done some research on this as it was deployed in North Africa in 43 and I do like to do the desert versions


It's not one of my best but a simple muddy base will make it look better [ATTACH]114857.IPB[/ATTACH]

I've gone over the edges with a mid stone to give a more worn dusty look[ATTACH]114926.IPB[/ATTACH]

I don't see nothing wrong there!


Very nice one. The subtle weathering is an excellent touch


I love it, Alan!

Hi Alan


I did this kit but just with the 20mm and as you say it went together very well.


You are to critical of your pieces I think as what I see you produce in any theatre of ops is far better than you think.


Outstanding weathering and nice to see the 222 with upgraded armament.


When it comes to reference I think sometimes we strive to build too much and sometimes it can take away the enjoyment of the building( sorry if that sounds a bit back to front but think you know what I mean.


Your photography is excellent.


Awesome build


Regards

Good job Alan I like the look of it

[Alan 45]

Cheers guys I appreciate it


I think my problem is I have an image in my head how I want it to look and it never turns out how my minds eye sees it , maybe I see the real thing and you see the photos although I do try to show the photo as close to reality as I can it's never as real as it can be


Or maybe my eyes are going


Anyway I do appreciate your comments

How did you lose your mojo, it's a great looking wee model!

great build Alan I do like it a lot,I have one in my stash as well,


what i do like is that your able to show from one to another,the harshness


of weathering to a more lighter type of effect,


very well done,

Don't fret Alan , I don't think any of us are ever really satisfied with our work ,otherwise we would never seek to improve. You are a fine modeler and your own self criticism only means you will get better...............Jim

[john i am]

Yes Alan I agree with what everyone as said great work on the 221 it will look great on the proposed base you have in mind for it.

[Alan 45]

Cheers guys and gal for the great comments

Cheers Jim , I took it to the club tonight and one bloke said I'm too humble lol , I know what it needs , it's needs a little light dry brush just on the edges to give it a definition , not a full dry brush just a touch
