Hi all

just wanted to share a couple of pictures of the Iraq M915 Gun truck that I have been working on for the last couple of months. Just need to finish the figures and the base plus some storage items.

Great Model.
Whats the storey behind this model, is it 1/35 scale, what is the Kit used alonside a lot of plastic card etc. I presume it will be part of a scene from Iraq.

Hi guys

thanks for the comments, this build is for a magazine commission I was asked to do, it is a 1/35 resin kit by miniman factory.

It has been fun to do, and the finished display should hopefully look stunning .

It was a good chance for me to try some new painting techniques certainly for the rusted sections, which I am more than happy with the way they turned out.

cheers

Are you allowed to say which Magazine we will see this featured in. I had a look at the kit. Its expensive and i would imagine it was hard work building it. Looks fantastic

Hi Jason

many thanks the finished model can be seen here The kit is by Miniman Factory, not cheap but worth the expense, if you have the time and effort to put into it

cheers
