One word : awesome !

Tell me more about this model : brand of kit, conversion, trailer... what did you scratchbuild ?

awesome Animal. Looks really good.

Bravo, very nice indeed.

Jan, the chassis and rear wheels are from the M-925 shelter truck kit by Italeri, the cab is a home cast resin as are the front drive wheels. The fifth wheel is scratch built from plastic card stock. The entire trailer with the exception of the wheels and springs is entirely scratch built from Evergreen plastic card stock. The cargo is from the spares box. The chain is from Model Expo. Every thing was painted with a mixture of green drab and flat black Model Masters paint. The weathering was done with Rust-All products.

Damned righteous, my man! I'm greatly impressed! Everything works, you've got some very nice, realistic weathering. One question, what is the color/combination on the wooden ammo crates?

If you will keep it a secret and only tell armorama family members I wil tell you :-) I mix a little model masters rust with wood color. About two drops or the rust color to six drops of the wood color. After it dries I weather it with Rust-all black wash mixed with rust again . Followed by a coat of flat clear. The last thing is to dust every thing with dirt. (terra firma)

Deeply impressive vehicle Animal! Well done!.

Vinnie

Animal, your avatar keeps confusing me. I often mistake you for AJLaFleche and others.
Isn't it time to kindly ask Jim to fix you a logo of your own ?

Maybe something more inspired on your name ?

Like this ?


:-)

That would be very cool Jan. That would match the puppet on the back of my trike.
