Hi Stephen, your sd.kfz.222 is really good. I like it. For my curiosity, do you have some reference for the plate fitted on front ? Normally on front the put the rectangular small one.

Thanks !
Giovanni



Hi Giovanni

It was the placement on the guide in the kit.

Cheers

Stephen

Lovely job Stephen!

Those twins are coming along nicely Martin. Why did you go for different shades?

A nice little 223 Giovanni....I wish I had time to spend 2 hours a night! But that's life.

Sal, that's looking great. Will be nice when weathered and less shiney. The figure really suits



Hey I'm using 2 different kinds of colors - AK and The color of Eagles - just for the fun:)

And here i was thinking i was running out of time
I think Im ready to spray it with some dull coat and call it finished what do you guys think

I figured because this unit didnt see that much action i would keep the weathering on the light side

I really like it Sal.
Camo looks great.

I would just add more dust or dirt to the wheels / tires and lower hull. But that's just weathering..
I like the rusted exausts and the jerrycan painting. Real nice.

Congrats on that one Sal !!

@John; nice Bushmaster, the details and markings give it character.

@Jon; your A/C looks good with the weathering and your figure is of a quality that I whished that I could obtain.

Hi guys. I realised I neglected this campaign for too long. Just one Question. Do we count ATF Dingo 1, the modern one, as armored car? If so I am starting right away...

Thanks Bob. Am giving this modulation technique a try for this build, hopefully get to learn something new. Of late progress has been slow for me -- this thing called work keeps getting in the way Quite happy that John extended the campaign for a couple of weeks more, else this may be another candidate for a get-it-done campaign. Cheers, Tat

With some dust added. Used Mig pigment Europe dust. Am going to add more, but not sure how to proceed. The top of the vehicle looks too clean, but I don't want it as dusty as the bottom. Will continue to fiddle with it.
