And Yes I still have some work to do







The Story is That the 222 Ran out of gas On an old Dirt road and the Crew went out to search for fuel Leaving one Man Behind to Guard the 222.

The Lucky Guy Found the wine on the 222 and Some Cigs And is having a good time waiting!

The Dio is still Being planned but Im Liking it so far!
(And Yes I see some spots I need to clean up)

The Kit is the old OLD Tamiya Kit

The Figure is Tamiya Body,Verlinden Head,Tamiya Legs From the Late Panther G And DML arms.

The Flag is Tissue Painted and then Attached with White Glue and Water (Still need to tie the lower parts down a bit.

The Wine Bottle is made the same way thats shown in an Article on Armorama using a Pen.

The Cig is Stretched sprue.

Well Still lots of stowage and other things to do!

Dave-- looking good so far. You need to tie down the flag as it appears to be in the air on the bottom portion. Also, what did you use for the screens?

"Still need to tie the lower parts down a bit."
I know The Screens are the Little Net Tamiya Gives you to do most screens that come with kits.

Thanks for the comment!

Looking good dave. Really nice little kit this is ... stood the test of time! Love the figure .... the bash made figure stand out and brings the scene to life. Looking forward to seeing the groundwork added!

After posting these pics last night I also added his MP40 Hanging off the Barrel his Ammo Pouch beside him and a slice of bread laying on the ammo pouch.

About 30 minutes ago I also added the lower strings.

Looking good here --- also nice to have the "story" along with the scene.

The flag/netting are nice touches. I like the rough and tumble look your weathering has given the vehicle.

Keep us posted Dav, --- nice concept with this one.

Dave-- follow-up on my question regarding the screens. How did you secure them to the plastic frame?
DJ

Glue

Um,Have you fixed the right shoulder?

Dave,

Any chance on toning the rust down? Your vehicle looks like it has been rusting away for years. Maybe you could airbrush some grey over the areas that would be getting use and wear. I like the mud, it will look good when your base is done...

I have also finished a Tamiya 222, although it is the newer kit. You can check it out in my gallery.

Keep up the good work.

As for the rust Alot of that Is Pastels ive not dusted off yet and Alot of it is just What I used to look like dry dirt that got into corners. A bit of rust here and there and Some Dirt.

Now rust is here and there on the Model but most you see is actually representing Dry dirt Kicked on by the Crew climbing up.

Im Also Thinking of Replacing the Head on the figure with one That I painted with Oils (still learning) but it looks better.

It's a beauty! I love the way the net/screen came out.

This kit was the third one I did when I started doing armor 4 years ago. Now in hindsight. I should've replaced the jerrycans and carrier with brass or aluminum strips. I think I'm gonna do one again.
