Revell Monty's caravan & scout car (1/76)

[rtfoe]

Hi Jim, Dingo is good..just some minor fit areas that need careful filling which is only apparent in close up photography. I don't think it's noticeable at a safe distance. The painting is really neat and weathering just right and subtle.

Cheers,
Richard

In Dave's beautiful French Infantry vignette there was a discussion about photographing models. Jakko mentioned that he had the same photo booth as I have but had fitted a third light above the booth. I bought a cheap light fitting and did just that. I think it has improved the photos. Thanks Jakko :thumb2:

I find it helps counteract the shadows cast by the other two lamps, and it seems to work for your photos as well — looking good. (The models too )

Nice to see the Dingo finished. Only 3cm long - thats insane!. The caravan is looking great. Top work Jim:thumb2:

Hi all
Thanks for your kind comments.
Sorry it has been so long since anything happened with this. I have been laid low with, according to the doc, a urinary tract infection. Basically you need to pee, can't pee and when you can it hurts. You also pee blood which is rather off putting!! Two weeks of antibiotics and doing very little and now all is well again in the old plumbing department :tongue-out3:
The caravan is basically finished. I dry fitted the chassis, wheels, cab and caravan and all looked really good. As soon I decided to glue it all together the Mogglin' Pixies decided it would be fun to make the wheels touch the underside of the caravan :sad: - so that required some modifications! It really did fit before - honest!

I'll have a go at a simple base next.

Glad to see the roof still comes off. Looking forward to seeing the two main stars on a base together. Glad to hear you are better now and back at the bench

Nicely done Jim, great paint work and weathering, especially like how the tyres have come up:thumb2:

Jim,

Some great looking pieces with some lovely added details

Hi all
Thanks Steve, Si and Scottie.
I am calling it done. I lost a fair bit of mojo towards the end with this for a variety of reasons. For me it was a tad too small a scale and the kit was old and chunky which didn't help. Thanks to all of you who stuck with it. More photos in completed dios section.

I'm glad you managed to get this one across the line Jim. I enjoyed watching this one come together I will nip over and have a look at the finished photos.
