Hello:

I'm still trying to improve my pictures, however, wanted to show my first vehicle. It's the Demag from Italeri builded out of the box, painted with brushes. Weathering still to come. Expect lots of advices!!!!









Thanks a lot

First vehicle???? you kidding?. When painting these cammo patterns by hand I use an old brush and 'scuff' the edges to soften them a bit. Get rid of the spot of red paint on the nearside front tyre and that's a pretty good start to vehicle modelling!

Love it! For a first and hand-brushed effort that's pretty good. The headlights look a little wonky and the driver's spot is missing something, but these are small things that can easily be fixed! Well done!

Im quite impressed also. Love how you did the windscreen. Could you explain this???
I have this kit at home and aften wondered what it looked like, built up. Your tracks and running gear look really well. The one thing in my opinion that could use a little extra attention is the canvass hood. It still looks like the plastic piece it is. You could cover it with tissue and white glue, and cover the gaps and attachment point in the inside. Or even milliput or equivelent and texture using old denim. I would also paint the wipers black.

hI THERE. THATS A GOOD FIRST EFFORT i believe that besides all guys said before, you must concentrate a lil more weathering and soil - mud stickin on the back of the vehi , cause usually with the running gear spinning all particles go there and stick. Your tree lokks nice and i think that the red spot on the left front wheel is a product of the camera and not of the brush !!! Some pastel weathering could improve a lil the fade out between the camo colours.
You have the touch my friend. Go ahead and improve it

Thanks guys for the nice comments and specially for the advices. I'm going to try them for sure; that's what a newbie really neads to improve his work and that's why I love this site. I'm also working in a couple of figures to complete the diorama. When they're done I will show you the results. By the way, the broken windscreen is made with a dremmel and a hobby knife (a tip form the old'n good Shep Paine)

Thanks again
