T17E1 Staghound M12th Manitoba Dragoons

I bought this Bronco Staghound kit a while ago, with the idea to build an English version.

But as times can change, also my plans changed.
Before going futher, first the kit and some extra's for the kit.

The construction drawing starts with both sides of the Staghound. There are a lot of little parts, sometimes so small that I feels that I'm building a Staghound in scale 1/72.
After some hours of work I have finished the 2 first drawings and with the Blackdog parts it looks like this.

The rest of the build went smooth althought Bronco needs a lot of litte parts to make something and not always handy to work with.
But with patience it worked out.

Finally I decided to make a Canadian version. After a black primer I sprayed some Vallejo green color on the Staghound, finished it with a varnish layer for the decals, putted the decals on and sealed them with a semi-gloss varnish layer.

The Staghoud is ready for weathering.

I have also painted the stowage from Black Dog.

A lot is already done, but more has to be done before it's finished.

Absolutely gorgeous. I'd love to see how you did the extra gear, it looks awesome. Where they done in oils? Will keep watching this. (y) (y) (y)

I think James is bias in his opinion because it' Canadian eh?

But I like it, really well done, stunning work on the stowage!
 
Oh very cool build Johanna!!! The stowage is very well done.

Hi,

First thanks for all those nice comments!

The stowage is from Blackdog. After I had cleaned all the parts I have them a layer with the black primer from Vallejo with my airbrush. I left it drying for a few days and started with the brush painting. What I do is I kind of drybrush, I use a very short cutted brush and little paint to build up the color with a lot of layers. This gives the oppertunity to make shadows and highlights with the same color.

Hope you understand the explaination.

I have been working on the Staghoud ysterday, after putting the stowage on, I have made some pinwashes and I higlighted with oilpaint the lighter parts.
I will show some pictures later because I have first to clean up all the mess in my workroom.

Forgot to tell: I use Vallejo Model Color and Panzer Colors. I use them right out the bottle.
 
Hi Jogy,
the stowage looks very nice. I'm looking forward to the weathering of the vehicle.

Cheers, Christian B)
 
Re: T17E1 Staghound M12th Manitoba Dragoons Finish

Hello,

I have finally finished the Staghound. After I did the paint and put the stowage on the car, I had some problems with finishing because I didnt find a good way to do the weathering. This is what I have done, with a little vignette as base for the Staghound.
