Hi all,

I just wanted to show you my latest work. I really enjoyed building and painting this cool looking truck. It was painted with AKAN acrylic paints and weathered with pigments from MIG and Oils from Abteilung 502.
I made some minimal changes (plates on the side/doors) to the model as seen on field-modified M1070. It was the first time I used the hairspray method.....it was easier as I believed.

All in all I really enjoyed this project. Please let me know what you think! And sorry for the "not so sharp" pics.





























And one for fun^^



All the best,

Andreas

Hello Andreas

I find your build excellent.

The strong points I like:
- The windscreen has a cool blue color. What did you use for it?
- The color chips on the doors. Nice effect
- The weathering on the fuel tanks. Absolutely beautiful.
- The overall ''dusty'' look you have achieved with the pigments. Looks like this baby has been on the road for some weeks out of town !
- The machinery behind the cab look really cool.
- The cargo base looks nice (oily texture)

Good job!

P.A.
