The Romfell Panzerwagon build revisited...

[Tim A.]

I had abandoned this build because I lost a particularly hard part of the kit to make. I've managed to scratchbuild the piece needed. So, let's get this thing done.

Applied some basic color to the body. Nobody knows what the two tone paint scheme colors were but, most show it in a green and gray.

Got the Maltese cross markings airbrushed on.

Well they certainly wanted to make sure you knew who you're shootin' at huh?

It's a crazy looking vehicle for sure.

I've read that white is the natural color of rubber, it's not just stylish.

Love it!
A very unique vehicle. So Gothic in design, it very much reminds me of a 'Whacky Races' vehicle(I'm sure most of us are of an age to know that classic cartoon from the 60's). I have one waiting in the wings as well (waiting being the ideal word).

Yep, tires didn't turn black till they started adding carbon for durability.

I remember Dick Dasterdly, Muttly and Penelope Pitstop.
I got inspired to get this thing done after watching Mad Max Fury Road, again, this past weekend. George Miller is a genius!

Cool rig.

Think I'm finished. Might display it in a winter scene vignette...

Tim you have such a nice touch with the tones. Really great build.

 

[Rhino]

That's just cool!! Looking at it from astern, it is vaguely nautical.

Thanks Bob.

Didn't see that till you suggested it. That crazy back end would make a menacing looking ship prow.

Got the Hussar painted. This figure is based on an Astro Hungarian Hussar, that is posed next to the Romfell in an original photo.
