Hello folks,
Here are some pics of the Gaz67B.
Kit was painted with Tamiya Acrylics and washes with humbrol enamels. This was the first time I used oil paints for drybrushing. I used 60% yellow ochre, 25% titanium white and 15%sap green. Final weathering with MIG pigments will be done when the Katyusha is finished. They will be put together on a vignette.
As usual, all comments are welcome,
Tanx.

looks supurb. I like the addition of the sign in the back and the book on the seat.

Very nice indeed! the weathering looks great. One comment I would make is in regards to the handhold and tiedowns. It looks like the bolted flanges were part of the body and the handles and loops were glued on. It looks like the handles are not really connected to the flanges. Some gaps need filling in this area. Just my 2 U.S. cents.

whoa whoa

really nice model

the washes were very well done

but the exhaust pipe below looks too 'bright' and 'orangy', its at the bottom of the vehicle so it will tend to be more dirty. Maybe get a bit of dark grey to darken and 'dirty' up the exhaust?

just a newbie's 5 cents (oh, cos they dont issue 1 cents over here, minimum is 5...ok this joke sucks )

bep, that model looks like I could hop in and drive off! I look forward to seeing it with pigments although I can't imagine it looking any better.
Best Regards,

I can see you fixed the tow hitch. Looks great, I especially like the weathering on the wheels and all the stuff you put inside it. The weathering on the number plate is superb, keep up the good work!

Thanks a lot for the comments guys.
@ Scott: You are right, but those little holes are so tiny that they are barely visible. Just a disadvantage of close up pictures.
@ Danny: I've already fixed the problem. I put a black wash over it and I still need to blent it in with the groundwork.
@Paul: tanx for pointing the tow hitch fault out. It was easily fixed.

greetz,
D
