Hi,

This a long term project, I`m working on it between differens projects.
The first time its was panzer gray but I doint like the end result of it and have it over painted last week in panzer yellow.
There is still a lot of work on this beast to do before its finnished

On the trailer comes the Tamiya Panzer III Ausf L coverted to a Bergepanzer III field conversion.

Sofar I like the result


Ron

coming along nicely ronald is it oob or any aftermarket stuff being used look forward to seeing it finished

Hi mikeli its OOTB with exception of the Bergepanzer III there are some scratchbuild items on it and some more to made #:-)

"DARN-IT" Ron, you have done it again!

'kewl' looking so far and should be another great addition to your collection.

Dave

Sorry Dave :-)
I never do it again

Nice truck... Don't you just love the big ones? The only problem is where to store or display them after they are finished. I like the paint chip on the famo and the color looks great. keep posting updates.

Ron-- how did you get the paint chip effect? And, is the Panzer Yellow coloring your own creation or a standard manufacturer color ?
thanks
DJ

Great work so far ron,
especially nice weathering, and the colour is excellent i look forward to seeing this completed.

the chipping is great! one thing i noticed on the second pic.. the tracks seem to bee floating pretty bad. ath the bottom left the are like hanging out... maybe try to get them to sag some.

well stupid me... i just looked at it again and realized the tracks weren't glued together!

thnx guy`s

Animal I love big ones..........trucks off course.

DJ the chipping is done with Vallejo dark grey and the Yellow is my own creation just panzer yellow with a litlle buff (both Tamiya)

John You right about the tracks

Ron

Great work Ronald.

me too Ron and once again you are blowing us away with another good one.

Very nice!!! I really like it
I'll look forward for others pics...
refards

Great job, Ron!

I think I'll change mine from gray to the yellow, it really does look better.

Ron--thanks for the information on the weathering and highlighting. Have you ever used that salt and water method described in FSM several months ago. I am anxious to try the method on the KV-1 I am painting.
thanks
DJ

Thats the purpose of this forum to share things I think

I never used the salt method, I think its diffecult to control how its looks at the end.
But I give it a try on a old tiger that I have :-)

Ron

Holy Shi*! That is a great looking modeL! I am very amazed!

You did a really great job. Keep us posted on this little projecT!

Howdy Ronald-KoK,

Your Famo is looking superb so far, will have to keep an eye on it as you progress. Kit's that size DO take some time don't they?

Tread.

Ronald, I love the paint chipping . Could you make an article on paint chipping or post your technique in the forums? It's gonna be a blessing for lower forms of beings like me.


Actually, I don't think so. I myself have built the FAMO & if you will devote about 3-4 hrs. a day you will finish the halftrack in.........5 days? 1 week if painting & light weathering included.
Surprisingly these behemoth kits Tamiya offers us are EASY builds.
I think Ronald & everyone else that has built the FAMO will agree with me. I hope.

Cheers!

Hi Fritz,
On page one of this topic there is a short explenation about the schratches (paint color) and my secret recept for panzer yellow
Forgot to mention there use a small brush number 000 orso for the scratches and some patiend.

The assembly of the Famo is easy and quick OOTB, painting is more work then building
#:-)

I have still to build a other one with crane, he`s stil waithing for me to come out of the box
