    Scotties finished 3Ro

    Hi not sure if this is correct here or should be in soft skins. Admin please move if in the wrong place.

    A couple of photos and You will be happy it is just a few, of the completed 3Ro Autocannone 90/56. The build was a mixed bag but overall despite my initial reservations it was a good kit a little over simplified in places but it went together well. The biggest problem is finding references for Italian kit.

    Next a simple base, so until that is done the truck.

    I'm glad that I took the time to steer the front wheels I think it looks a bit better than straight ahead.

    The hairspray effect on the turntable to show the wear is now pretty much lost after the application of graphite but I think it looks ok.

    Finally an ammunition crate, again I couldn't find an Italian one so a generic crate was made from some very thin wood that came with the Rolls Royce armoured car I did last year.

    Terrific stuff Paul.
    Really nice finish. So many models I see are usually chipped and weathered to death. Yours is spot on.

    Excellent result. :thumb2:

        Amaze Balls there Scottie,(Dawg!)
        Been watching this all the way from the cheap seats
        I Haven't said much because I'd only have been repeating what the guys already said!
        Suffice to say mate,that looks incredible.... I love the ingrained weathering look that you get,(those Jack pads are SUBLIME )
        As always,it's a pleasure to look at your work.

            Hi Scottie
            That is excellent in every respect. Painting and weathering is spot on. As John said on the build thread - "your best yet". :smiling:

                Lovely stuff. That’s a great finish on a hard worked gun truck.

                          Absolutely amazing Paul.
                          Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.
