Hi guys,
Here is my Italeri LVT-4 finished. I will be putting it in a dio with a jeep in western Europe sometime in 1945. I may add some heavier weathering once i have the dio finalised

LVTs are so cool. If I weren't thinning my stash I would buy one. Making my best attempt to maintain the discipline

Looks cavernous from the rear end Andy. Basic paint job and the weathering look good -- it looks used. Neat to see this bristling with the 30 and 50 cal's. With the addition of the jeep you've mentioned, and some figs, this should make a nifty little dio.

I LIKE IT VERY MUCH nice building painting and weathering . The project looks very n
ice also. please post when the dio is completed

Thanks for posting guys,
Steve, There will be about four figures in the dio they will be some of the sitting down figures from the halftrack which i will re do.
Major_Goose of course i will post pics of the dio when finished

Nice looking Amtrac Kiwi ! Overall finish and weathering look awesome. You may want to try a little drybrushing with steel, to get a worn metal look, esp in the cargo area and the ramp.

Keep us posted on your diorama !!

Cheers !!

Dustoff, The reason i am not doing a pacific dio is because i am have some nice figures that i think go well with it from the ETO.
Alpen, I have done that but it dosen't show up well in the photos I will to some more, Do you suggest I use a graphite pencil or some dry brushed silver or gunmetal paint?

Graphite pencil may be a good solution Kiwi. That way if you think you over do it, you can fix a goof alot easier.

Personally, I like to use MM Steel, or the MM Flat Auminum. MM Chrome Silver is a bit too brite for my liking. Also, I prefer MM enamel paints over acrylics for dry-brushing.

Try the graphite, that's an execellent idea.

Cheers !!

Alpen

Thanks for that I will do that tonight.
I agree about the silver i find them to bright. i have to use Humbrol or tamiya here in NZ MM is very hard to find.

Awsome Job Kid!!!! I didn't know these served in the west.. always seeing videos of them cruising through the waves in the Pacific!

But none the less.. excellent job!
:-)
