Hello,
Sometimes a project takes a ling time because of changing the ideas and with this project it was also a problem to think about how to finish it into a little story on a warm day in 1944 somewhere in Western Europe.
First I started the build of the WC51, a kit from AFV and the build went well, but then it stopped, was put away for a while this I picked it up again and started the painting and after a primer with Vallejo primer OD I put some lighter coats on the vehicle.
I left it dry for the night and the day I airbrushed some layer of clear over the car and left that also dry before I started with the decals. The decals where really a disaster, so I had to use some other decals from another kit.
I also finished the dashboard, the kit had no decals so I got some from Eduard and painted the rest.
Now it was time for some weathering, I started with some filters, yellow, blue and gray, after that some washes with a sepia color mix and this made the car looking better in my opinion
The car was again put away and a week ago I decided to clean up some started kits and this was the first one because it was almost finished. I made a small base with sand and I made a road on it with stones from another project so I would look like a little street somewhere outside. The two figures are from a Verlinden set and all the other stuff is from the sparebox.
So this project is finished, finally ....
Up to the next project, hope you like this.
Cheers, Johanna
