This is my amphibs campaign entry. The model is a 1:48 Tamiya Schwimmwagen with the Hauler etched set. I have just got to add some more finishing details including the propeller bits at the back, and then some weathering. I don't want to go too heavy on the weathering, as I think I might cover up some of the great detail. Maybe some rust on the propeller parts and an overall dusting. All comments or criticisms welcome. (Sorry about the bad photos!!)

That oar and shovel on the side really looks like wood. Great build on the schwim

Hey

I agree on the wood, it looks fantastic!

Next to the rust and dust for weathering, I think you should also add a wash to your Schwimm. It will show the details much better than!

Also got any plans for figures or even a diorama?

Looks good Tom, I'd dust up the tires a little bit, the black is a stark contrast with the sand color.

Really nice job on the wood and an overall nice and neat build. Wonderful details, I'd love to see a closeup on that dash board.

Congrats,
Bob
