hi,

that looks great. do you plan to put it on a more scenic base or just show it off as it is ?

oh and I know you didn't intend to, but you just solved a problem for me by showing me other people modelling back doors open, as I wasn't sure which position to put the handle in when the doors are open
:-)

Hey

I'm working on a diorama called "Der Biergarten". Check the diorama section or my gallery!

Thanks for your reply,

Hi Martin,
Nice to have you here again. You have a very nice model there. I like the weathering, it is very realistic. I'd like to suggest, if you let me, that it would be nice to weather the crew. They are working in dirty conditions.

Ola Martinnn,

Looks very good! But I think you must weather the tracks a bit.
The were not the clean in a city what is destroyed, a lot of dust etc.

Did you drill out the MG??

Looks great! One small thing, maybe add some dried gunk under the fenders.

Nicely Done Martin. Great weathering..I agree with Sticky...add some dried mud to the underside of the hull.
Cheers,
Bryan

Yeah I wanted to do that but I've gotta wait till the humbrol paint is 100% dry before I continue. Well the 251/22 itself is finished so that's why I posted it (campaign deadline, don't know if I can be back online soon enough, hope so!)

Tracks are weathered, but not too heavy. The diorama is not a destroyed town...and I wanted to keep a bit of a dark look. MG is not drilled out, looks good enough for me and I don't like to do it anyway haha (lazy?)

What is gunk?

Sorry for the English slang Martin. Gunk = a combination of mud,dirt, greese, grass, cow poop, and anything else they would have driven through that would stick to the underside of the vehicle.
