I managed to glue the cabin together and also painted it in dark yellow :coolio

The back wall need a little more work, i masked off the wall and did some brushpainting here

Taken with flash, not so good but atleast you see the driver B)

Greetings,Ron.

 

[Bagge]

Thanks for the support

Decided to try some heavy chipping "Mr T style"
I used vallejo Iraqui sand as base for the chipping and then instead of nato black i used XF84 dark metal.
First time i try this technique and it was pretty easy and the result look convincing

Gonna go over with some more weathering to make it a little more subtle.

Sorry for the dark pics, i will try to take better pics tomorrow in daylight (if it's not rainting...)

Way to go Mats, Nailed it!

 

[Bagge]

Since it is going to have a flak 36/37 hanging after it, i have been playing around with the thought of putting this on the back, where the 3,7 was supposed to be.....

not historical correct maybe but it would look cool i think

The chipping looks pretty good. Don't forget to add a little rust to some of them. Where hands and feet have been make the metal a little shinny.

[Bagge]

what colour do you use for that? have some red brown variants i might try, especially on the bigger shipping on the fenders.

 

[Bagge]

Here is some more pics, and not so dark :coolio

Continued with the shipping, done all the Iraqui sand on the cabin, will do the dark metal tomorrow.

And here with the telegerät 40

The telegerät is a nice kit and the fit is superb, some misstakes with the numbers in the instruction but no big problems, interesting to see how it turns out with paint on it :hmmm
still some work left on it though.

A thin oil solution of raw umber. That way you can streak it a little.

[Bagge]

Nice chipping. Looking good Mats.

Thanks James and MP

Then later today i hope to start painting it.

[Bagge]

Telegerät assembled and painted in Dark yellow, weathering and decals left to do, and some brackets on the back of the sWS to hold it in place, not sure yet how i will do that.

Here you see some of the small pe parts, some kind of sight

And i made a mold for the ammo boxes, just need some resin now to try and cast one :hmmm

Hope to get some more done tomorrow :Hiay
