Hi all
Had time to finish this Little project. It's the Dragon 234/4 with some PE and parts from the spare box. The branches are made from moss. Hope you like it.

Very nice, Jacob.

I really like the colors and hard-edged cammo paint job.

Did you mask and airbrush or hand paint the camouflage pattern? If you masked it, what did you use for masking?

Also, what color and brand paints did you use? Any special color mixes or did you use the colors straight out of the bottles?

Again, I really do like the finish.

Thanks for sharing!

Very NICE /4, Jacob!

I'll ditto Mike on the finish - cool and super-good-looking, by me! Presuming that you may have masked and sprayed... did you use tape, a stencil, something like "silly putty", for the edging?

I do have one nit, however! Those boxes just parked on the cartridge tubes in the rear... I see these as being the sort of goods that "fall off the truck" and appear, as if by magic, as road-hazards right in front of you as you motor along following this beast! They would look oodles more convincing with a little rope to tie them on! Honest!

Very cool build - and inspirational... I am actually pulling this kit down from my pile for the current 8x8 campaign! The hard-edge tri-color looks good and there is documentation for it... probably the way I'll go, too!

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Jacob,

Very good job, IMO. I like the painting and weathering.

The borderline between colors is very clear, so I suppose you have used a kind of masking tape. Right ?

Cheers

Thanks for the nice Words. Yes, I did use masking tape, Tamiya, which Works really well. I just roll out a lenght on my cutting mat, and then cut a wavy pattern down the middle. The pattern is not taken from any Pictures or guide, just did it the way I thought looked cool, so don't go "nit-picking"
I used Tamiya paints; Dark yellow lightened with Buff, Nato green lightened with Buff and Brown/redbrown.
Bob: Hm! You might be right about tying the extra ammo Down.
Jacob

Thanks for the details about the paint and cammo.

Happy modeling!

I echoe all the other comments. It really gives the late war"feel" to it,with those colors and the natural cammo. I also like how you got the exhausts correct. Some people paint the armored piece that covers the exhaust going into the hull as if it was a pipe and not a piece of armor.
Cool piece. Any figs gonna go in it?

Mike: Glad I could help. It's actualy my second try out on the hard edge cammo style, first one was this


Jerry: Thank you very much, always an honour to get a thumbs up by one of the "Masters"
I'm always planning to do figures for my builds, it make them look a it more alive and into scale, but Things don't alwas go as planned, so let's see what the future brings.

Hi Jacob,

Very nice Pakwagen. I like the camo painting and weathering. Also the figure looks good.

I always feel strange the red unit number on 3 colors camo scheme, but definitely it is correct.

Cheers
