Abdin's Corner -Helping the survivors finished!

[fledermaus]

Hi my Friends, finally found the time to start this project. Here are the kits I’m planning to use if there are no more changes. Some dragon figures and the new Bronco staff car, and
A small one it is. Also I replaced the tree or the area for the tree with a water well, it going to be the old water well corner and the medics are helping some injured soldiers.

First the photos of the kits and the mandatory date photo…

This are the Bronco kit and its parts…

So I started by removing the grilles for the tree so the well can be fitted in that area…

The well is a resin copy and needed to be cleaned; using balsa the roof support beans are done

I already started with the figures and the well is done, pictures coming soon, thanks!!!!!And see you soon…

Hey Din!

About &*^& time you started that one. Just kidding.

I think the Bronco kit seems excellent for this small scene. Keep us updated.

Hi Didi, yes it was about time to start this project, so here it is……….

Noel, thanks!! I hope the well looks right in the corner when finished…

Talking about the well here is the mold and cast parts for it

Next using balsa wood pieces I assembled the roof support beans and glued the roof tiles sections finally added the crank made from spare parts….

I used wire to do pins to secure the roof beans to the well…

Here the well is finished and ready for paint

Next I started working on the rear stone wall, so again using a mold I cast the parts with plaster and glued the parts to form the wall…

The next parts are the four corners and the benches again cast from plaster……

Next came the figures, all are ready for paint……

The soldier on the stretcher looks very cool...

Here are a couple of photos of the complete scene and the tentative location of the figures and the car….

That’s for now; next step is painting all the parts and adding the accessories to the figures
And other small details, thanks for watching!!!!!

Hi my Friends!!!

A small update on the corner dio, I started the bronco staff car, first the undercarriage
With very nice details and a little tricky to assemble front suspension

Next started the interior, all the basic parts are included

The rear seat has a movable back, nice detail…

Next moved to the tires, this are composed of 5 slices that form the complete tire and
The final result is a very realistic looking tread pattern. Each part must be carefully aligned together….

Here you can see how thin each part is…

And the final result, also at this stage I already painted the rims in grey…

Detail of the finished tire……..very nice

So that’s for now, more coming soon and thanks for watching!!!

Re:Abdin's Corner -Helping the survivors upd 2/1/2010

Hi my friends!! Time for another update on the corner dio, this time It starts with the first coat of paint on the staff car, I used testors panzer grey spray paint removed from the can diluted a little with enamel reducer and sprayed with my airbrush.

Next some base paint on the interior parts using testors rubber, a wash with black mixed with dark brown thinned with paint thinner followed by dry brushed with brown

then drilled out the molded gauges on the dash board, using my punch I did two small discs the same size of the dash holes and glued it in place

The dash is painted grey and the gauges decals are installed followed by a coat of future
To simulate the glass

Next a test fit of the body to make sure there are no problems……

I then turned my attention to the doors, after marking the position of the white circle the doors are masked with the verlinden stencil

The white is sprayed on….

This is how it looks

Again using the verlinden stencil I masked the door, I used pencil marks to help in centering The red cross

The red is sprayed on and it looks like this after removing the masks and stencil…

Now some work on the base, I used plaster to fill the area where the tree grille goes after removing it with the dremell

I gave it a coat of black acrylic paint and painted a light color on the interior area

Next dry brushed with lighter tones of grey and painted different tones on random tiles

I did not liked the looks as it all looked too dark because of too much grey color so I went on and repainted the walls with a color similar to the one of the well it self, after some washes and dry brushing it changed a lot, also started to give different colors and washes to the ground area…

The base is almost finished, after it is I will turn in to finish the car and the figures
So see you soon……

fledermaus,

Looks amazing, love the way your car is turning out.
Great red cross medical emblem.
Love the way it looks in front of the tank running gear grave yard.
Looks like it's all coming together rather nicely,
I'll be watching for more pictures.
