Hi, my name is Alejandro, I'm from Argentina, and here I present my toyota hilux pick up Special Forces in the U.S., but I'm still lacking detail showing progress.

Greetings and excuse my English.

Welcome to the site, Alejandro...You did a very nice job on this pick-up.. nice dusting on the lower parts of the vehicle.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work... like the very nice M1114 you showed in your other thread

Great work on this truck Alejandro- weathering is fantastic and I like the way you've done the stowage in the rear bed. Welcome to armorama!

Very nice job on the finish. Even though we didn't use these, you've done a great job on it. As the guy in the photo below, I have just one question though: Where is the gunner supposed to stand?



A lot of the stowage in the new kit, while cool, isn't really useful for this kit, especially the two liter soda bottles. My biggest criticism of your stowage is that the crew have apparently devoted far more space to beverages and cooling of said beverages than to bullets.

Looks great! Did all the equipment in the back come with the kit or did you raid your spares box?

The effect on the dust cam out very well. Looks like it's been dirty for a while now. The scuff marks everywhere add a bit of life to it. Nice job!

Ale: the extra weathering is superb! What technique did you use to achieve that effect? Is the dust paint just wiped off, or was something applied? Thanks.

Happy Modelling, -zon

Zontar.
The red primer applied to the thinner base and the layer of sand on the basis of alcohol, then with an alcohol swab was carefully removing marks assumptions leaving hands and feet, as the base paint thinner is based was not removed.

greetings.

great model although i'd like to just nudge you towards changing the colour of the mg's hand guard and but stock as they are very rarely the same colour as the rest of the gun...
