Hey Guys ,
I started this a little while back . It's Cyberhobby/Dragon's Kubel with Cold Weather Starter. Th box also has the Cold Weather starter, a plate for either a Tiger or Panther & 4 Mechanics in Cold Weather Gear :woohoo: . Th Figures don't look too bad . Th Goal is to do a Vignette & have it hooked up to a Panther .... I think I may have to sacrifice a Panther that's in th stash to make a Wedgie , as I want th main focus to be th Kubel . O.K. enough babble .... on with th Show !!
I've shaved th door hardware as I found an Edward P.E. set for th Italeri Kubel laying around th Panzer Shoppe & since I don't have that kit ......
Here are th tires .. ready for some Mr.Dissolved Putty !!
Th bonnet has been cleaned up in anticipation of th P.E. parts
I plan on adding some bits to this ,as it's gonna be exposed & will need a few pieces, but other wise is a really good rendition of th V-Dub power plant all 985cc's @ a whopping 24 horses .... Yeah Baby , If I drag race this I can time it with a Calendar :woohoo:
here she sits with a coat of Vallejo German Grey Primer , then I shot some Vallejo Model Air German Grey mixed with German Camo Beige for th high lights. I shot th highlights at a 90 degree angle to th floor of th Kubel . I'm not gonna concentrate too much on interior details b/c I'm gonna have th top up & windows closed .... it is Winter time on th Russian Steppe ya know !
Th Speedo was picked out with Vallejo's Panzer Aces White (#344) & Games Black. The Leather "pads" on th Oh Sh%t Bar were picked out with Vallejo Leather Brown , dry brushed with German Camo Beige
Some scratches/wear & tear were applied with Vallejo German Camo Black/Brown
I used th P.E. door handles & shot them th same as th interior
Th Tires same too, I added some brass wire for th Valve stems !!
Another shot at th speedo & th P.E. bits on th bonnet , like th bump stops for th Windshield, the reinforcement under th spare tire &th license plate. I also added some brass wire for th leads to th head lights.
Since th Kubel will belong to th Werkstatt corps, some body damage was in order, so I broke out th Dremel & added some Dents & digs !
Th Floor Boards are separate & I gave them a base of Tamiya Wooden Deck Tan
I gave them a dot filter of Burnt Sienna & Raw Umber for it's Woody-ness . Notice that I put th Oil paint on some corrugated Cardboard to leech out th lint seed oil , which helps it to dry faster & to kill th Sheen ( not Charlie Sheen ... that's a whole different story)
Next , I liberated an Eye Shadow applicator to drag th Oil
I lightly dragged th Oil in one direction with long strokes . **Note - When finished , just hang onto th applicator. Woman get a little aggitated when they rub Oil paint on Their Eye lids :yipee .... :vmad
Now it's time to take care of the Convertible top.
I cut a square of the razor thin foil. Once you remove the Wax paper backing the foil is literally less than a 1/16"
I applied th C.A. around the front edge along the sides & paying attention to the bows in the roof. Lookin back I shoulda' accentuated the bows with some styrene rod & then covered it. ??
I trimmed th edges in the rear & folded th foil around & over the edges
Once dried I trimmed off th excess & snipped the windows
Gettin' a coat of Vallejo Black Primer :v
Dry brushing with Vallejo Canvas
another pass this time with Tamiya Khaki Drab
With a final pass of German Camo Beige
