Hello everyone !!!

Well there are some new steps in my project :

I made Wash and then pointed Wash for every vehicle.
Generaly I use Wash with brown oil paint mixed with white spirit, for pointed Wash I added some black oil paint.
I also added rear lights, also finally glued the chassis and Body together.







to the Rear trunk has been added effects using pigments of MIG:




Work on the chassis I can say: Done, including effects.
At the end I spray all the lower part with acrylic paint XF-57 BUFF. Except the side staps. I will add effects later with all the vehicle.



It's all for now friends. Continued soon ...
Comments please

Looking really good! Question- do they use seat belts in these or not... I have not seen a lot of good reference photos of the inside of the Libyan trucks yet... Thanks for posting as my kit is still sitting on the shelf and I am looking for tips and ideas. You have some very good things added here. Please keep sending more pictures!

Today such a rainy day , So I thought it's a time to promote the building of the model.
I glued the side mirrors, headlights and Bumper. Also assembled wheels .
I added the effects of light sand and dust on the vehicle using product of AK INTERACTIVE AK-022 Africa Dust effects and TAMYIA SAND Stick.









Before I add a machine gun, want to add some equipment into back trunk:
Jerry cans, a cooler and a box of ammunition.



that's all for now
I'd like to have your Comments please
and have a nice weekend friends

Thats real nice weathering on this Richard- I think there would be a bit more dust on the rear quarter of the vehicle though.

Great build! I like the weathering on it. It would be more comfortable to see the pics in larger size, wouldn't it?

Looking great so far. You may want to paint the rubber molding around the front window flat black. Also, the two little, raised squares at the back of the hood should also be black. They are plastic squares that hold the windshield washer fluid squirters.

Question- do they use seat belts in these or not...



Yes, they have seat belts. They are standard civilian vehicles with the standard safety features.

Amazing!
This model really looks good!
Are you planning to use the gun at the back? Or are you going to leave it as it is?
Cheers mate!

Good evning to all

After I added into a trunk some equipment and a machine gun, it's time to final pictures of the truck.
In future thinking to add some figures and more equipment (weapons), even a little diorama ...

Hello to All;
A few steps in building a diorama, I assembled and painted the figures but still without weapons, I painted them separately and will add later. Truth; I'm too weak in painting figures, so every comment and a tip will received with pleasure!



Diorama base and the wall assembled too, painted and made Wash. I added some Prigments and added a door.
Next I will add a few more effects. also it's my First Diorama so again every comment and a tip will help me.



Thanks and have a nice weekend
