Hey!

I've uploaded my first pics in the gallery. The model is a 1/35 revell belgian cvrt scorpion my father bought me a couple of years ago. When he did his service he was commander of one of these fine machines. I build it in winter 2001/2002, and I must say, since then my skills have improved quite a bit . Nevertheless, I'm still quite satisfied with this one (the first one I tried drybrushing on), the only thing I don't like at all is the "camouflage netting" at the back. That didn't work out well. Once, I'll change this.

Any comments are welcome!

This is quite a nice vehicle you made there. It`s a bit too modern for me personally but I can recognize good paintwork and such. You did a good use of rust and dust there and the tarps on the machine are convincing too. Wich method did you use for the tarps?? the 50/50 percent water/whiteglue mix??
Anyways truely good looking vehicle and I like to see more of your work in the future

Ah... the scorpion brings fond memories of my days in the army.

Mooi werk, Florre !

there you go mate,

very nice CVRt, the weathering is very realistic, and i think the tarps look excellent.

im not familiar with foreign ones, but shouldnt it have more stowage bins?

cheers

Thanx for the comments guys!

The tarps indeed are made with the white glue/water technique, some kleenex soaked in this mixture. Very easy and convincing texture I think.
Answer to your question greatbrit, well, according to my reference pics on belgian scorpions, they didn't have more stowage bins while on manouvres. I even added some they don't ever carry in real life, because I also thought the tank looked a bit "naked"

Cheers!
