Not wanting to leave the desk cleared for too long I have decided to crack on with one of the Meng Technical vehicles.

Chassis is straight forward with limited detail, but as I'm not showing this on its roof I'm not to concerned.

With all the technicals in Syria,this should be great.

Added some texture to the chassis

I wanted to add some interest and colour into the cab so added the obligatory beaded seat cover

Nice touch!

How did you apply the liquitex solution?

David

Straight out the pot with an old brush

Well cracked on with this -

Having primed the base I added some rust colours for the hairspray method.

Having viewed many picture of the technical in Iraq and Syria I added some field applied camo.


This was then chipped and weathered to show a bit of battering

Following copious amounts of chipping, washes and pigments this is where I am up to

Outstanding! What's gonna be the load?

Thank you

You know I have not got an idea! I am thinking of towing the AA gun and putting something else in the back

You can get a few ideas from here...

Thanks have seen this some brilliant ideas

Well here's the final version with bits added - broken indicator and straps for the rear tail.

Well with the Christmas break I was able to finish this off --

It sure has turned out great so far.Before you had added the gun it had reminded of the truck I used to drive when I was much younger,out in the fields feeding cattle.That truck was so beaten up,but driveable.

Finally coming to the end of this build now so added some more details to the rear bed.

First off was a crate

I add some handles and a small amount of writing


Next was the crate with coke cans etc.









Next on with the dio......

Truck looks great, I cant wait to see the Dio finished. Thanks for sharing your build with us.

Looks great overall. Not sure where that Coke box came from, but it looks huge to me. How many Cokes are in there? I would remove it.

Gino

See what you mean might review that choice!

It just looks huge to me.

Most soda cases are a 12 pack.


There used to be larger 24 packs, but I haven't seen them in quite a few years and they are still not that big..

Sorry Gino

I understand what you mean about the size of the coke box - I will look at changing it.

Paul

No issue, I reread it and understood what you meant. Changed my post w/some reference pics too.
