What do you guys think about this limber from a private collection?.

Don't know for sure,but it looks like galvanized metal to me...could paint stick to galvanized metal without primer being used?
I don't really know,sorry to be not that helpfull,Tony,...but maybe someone else has the answer.

Greetings,Ron.

What do you guys think about this limber from a private collection?.

Here is a picture taken out in the field and it looks like the trays are painted to me.

What would you do?

Maybe this video might help. Seems to have been taken at a Canadian museum possibly in Ottawa or thereabouts given the bilingual placards.

Limber is about 1:28 into the clip.

What would you do?

Tony lee

I would not have gotten so far or if I did I would have taken months and been in a whole lot of modeling trouble

 

[Tony lee]

Ron it will stick but not for very long.

More searching turned up these pictures

I guess i'll get the Alclad out, the plastic needed primer anyway.

[reconron]

Ron it will stick but not for very long.

Thanks Tony,...another lesson learned today.

...so,Alclad got galvanized metal paint?If so,might have a try someday.



Greetings,Ron.


p.s;thanks for the video,Peter.

 

[Tony lee]

No Ron I don't think they have a galvanize color but i've got several
of the others and i'll see how close I can get with a mix. :dance

Thanks

[SA Dave]

[Tony lee]

Grime is on the way soon Dave.

My back? I'll live,it's to far from my heart.

[reconron]

Looking good Tony!

Can you tell us what Alclad paint you used,...might have a try on that my self someday.

Greetings,Ron.

 

[Tony lee]

Lets see Ron I sprayed Steel on first and then a light dusting of Dark Aluminum.

For the brass, first a coat of Tamiya Bronze and then lightly dusted with Model Master Brass Metallizer.

How's that buddy

[Iron Mike]

Wow, great update, Hoss! Feel better willya? :drinks

 

[Sherman 18]

Doing a great job Tony!

 

[Tankbuilder]

I can think of a lot of diorama scenes to create using that limber and those individual ammo trays. I might just get one of these kits for my Normandy gun diorama.

That limber looks exquisite.

Cheers

 

[Tony lee]

I thinks it's the best of the lot myself.

I have the 25pdr with limber, started it but put it back in the box again after fighting all that PE, it was just not fun to build it.
It has alot of nice details but to complicated, i bought the one from dragon instead.
I'm glad to see that someone manage to make a nice one
Great work Tony!
