Hi all,

Here is my latest build: The Tamiya M25 Dragonwagon (The M15 trailer will follow)

It has been build completely OOTB.

I'll add the a Dragon Panther G on the trailer:

The kits




Here are the photos of the finished work of the wagon

It looks a really neat build and paint job

Wow, completely OOTB? Great job! I agree that the weathering is great! I also like the paint job on the exhaust.

Well done Martin,

Can you give us some info about your wheatering process.

Cheers
Claude

Hi Martin. Looks great so far. Also love your weathering .... you´ll need to be careful to keep this consistent/similar with the trailer!

The Dragon wagon is and always will be a very cool model. You have deffinitely done a super job on the M25.

Wow!

I used to be a tank mechanic in the army and have to add (in addition to the great general weathering job) that you've hit the grime buildup/ ground in dirt/ heavy wear patterns spot on! Really excellent work! I too think that if the trailer ends up as good as this you'll have a fantastic set.

Great job!

Thanks a lot for the kind words

I'm glad you like it and my work on the mud/dust.

I hope I'll finish my trailer soon.

Martin

looks super. only question why a panther for the load?

The panther is a captured for eval back in the states ..... its looking good so far!.. are you going to do a small dio with it?
one more thing... what unit will the panther be from?

Very nice build.

Looks great! Really likes the weathering!

Thanks for the replies




My process is:

-Primer (duh )
-OD base coat (no preshade)
(I've mixed Tamiya acryls: OD about 85%, Buff 5% and Dark Green 10% and used Isopropanol as thinner)
- Chipping with OD & black mixture (Vallejo)
- Dark wash of brown & black mixture (Van Gogh oil paint). And a Black pinwash on the "greasy" parts
- 3 drybrushes with humbroll 29 Dark earth, 86 Olive green and 72 Khaki drill.
- Tamiya smoke for the shiny greasy parts
- MIG Allied fading for highlighting the roof and large side objects.

I hope it helps.

Martin

Finally some photo's for an update:

The panther G is for 95% finished. I'll have to say, what a great kit. Everything fits nice together. The level of details is very good, and the dragon magic tracks are fantastic











Next op adding the mud and give it a coat of paint.
It will be a 3tone camo (mainly green/red with some yellow)



Martin

Very nice job on the M25, weathering looks great. The detail down to the paint peeling on the gas cylinder isspot on.

Can't wait to see the completed model

Rounds Complete!!

Very nice job!

Please describe your painting and weathering technique.

Thanks for the replies,

I hope I can do a nice SBS on the trailer for the weathering.

Martin

hi martin
i think your dragon wagon looks fantastic.and i also love the idea of putting a panther on to the trailer.
the three colour camo of the panther agaisnt the olive drab of the dragon wagon should look great.
good luck
