The one advantage of working for yourself
If its a slow day you get bench time
First sprayed on a rust color folowed by some hairspray and then some sand (Buff because it sun bleached Actualy its the closest color I had )

 

[moon puppy]

You have rust as the base and then hairspray then buff?

 

[AndyFettes]

Good stuff I cant wait to see your chipping

 

[SA Dave]

I overdid the chipping because my grandpa always complained how dusty it was in the desert so I will be adding a lot of dust.

This will be a long range armed recognicance vehicle for the artilery and will have quite a bit of stowage as the stayed out a few days. Hmmmmm I will have to make some canvases and camo netting and of course a radio as this one has none.

Looking good, Dave!

 

[MrT]

Yep looks like it's been in an sandstorm.

If I keep doing this I'm start having issues with gravitational pull (like I'm not already) so I'll do this instead

Bronco makes a nice radio and equipment set, to the right in the pic

Nice job on this one Dave!

[SA Dave]

Thanks Guys Too late for me now Mats but I would like to get the dimensions of that radio though.

Toned downa a bit still needs some extra rubbing marks as the guys climb in and leave a greyish smear and then of course the ever present dust after the decals.

 

[KiwiGunner]

Looking real good - I like that rusty weathering

 

[reconron]

I like where you going with this one,Dave!

Greetings,Ron.

 

[moon puppy]

Nice job Dave, don't forget the inside!

 

[SA Dave]

Thanks Guys, your comments is keeping me at it.

Inside and Stowage is up next MP. Mats gave me the dimensions of the radio he has so I am able to make my own. That was the one thing that was keeping the interior so clean.

Terry, yep well sandblasted. :yipee

 

[nsmekanik]

Hey Dave, that thing is looking to clean and well kept, maybe you should add some scratches and rust and dust dontcha thinK?

 

[Sherman 18]

Looking good!

 

[SA Dave]

Thanks for the support guys

Some small progress Wheels on and almost all weathering is done still needs the decals a flat coat and some dust to blend everything together

Oh and here is a small tip - when the weather does not want to dry out your newly made camo net etc Pop it into a microwave for a few minutes came out rock hard :woohoo:

I dont know why but it looks as if the camera is pulling out one of my oil stain colors more than the others :woohoo: Those colors are just a wee bit more glossy can that be why the camera does it?

 

[reconron]

Looking good,Dave!

Greetings,Ron.
