Good evening,

I've finally finished this one. It's supposed to represent the 1943 prototype of the Vw Typ 157 being inspected during trials. Here are some photos showing all the process:











And the figures:










And the finished piece:

















The vehicle and base were painted with Tamiya paints, sealed with Pledge acrylic floor wax, washed with artist oils and matt coated with Testors Dullcoat. The figures were painted with Vallejo paints and sealed with Vallejo ModelAir Matt Varnish.



Thanks for viewing!

Cheers,

Francisco

Hi Fracisco
So very, very small, but yet so great in detail. You've done a superb job.
