Pierluigi. looks very interesting, however it's probably better you use your gallery space on this site - linking to other sites, quite often doesn't last long and you're left with a red X rather than an image..

I edited the URL link for you by the way...

May I ask what is plomb shheet?



I would imagine it's lead sheet. In Spanish, 'Plomo' is lead and I think it's the same in Italian. Who's a smart-ass then? :-) :-)

YES you are right it's lead sheet, in italian is piombo!
Sorry for my english.
Plastic sheet is caming from some safety panels to be put during overhauling of equipment, in my job we have a lot of different thickness, so I use ( low cost material high result)
see you

Hi there


Very very nice build. How did you achieve the mud effect, it's very convincing.

Did you use a kit or did you scrath build. If so, where did you get the wheels.

Keep up the good work

thanks to all of you.
the wheels are from a old Scud launcer missiles kit , the rest is all scratchbuilt using plasticard, lead foils and parts from my special box.
The mud effect is achieved by using a wood powder mixed with glue, given to the model with a brush and than painted mud colour.

Absolutely stunning work you show here mate. The whole scratchbuilt looks fantastic and the paintjob you did on it really brings it to live. I like the fact that it is missing one wheel.
Great scratchbuilding... wonderfull to see.

With friendly greetz

wow.
wow.
Good work on that rare military modelling subject. I am not familiar with these loaders in full scale, so I cannot comment on accuracy but for a scale scratch build model, looks great. Esp. all the fine details and sharp edges. Thanks for posting the WIP photo before paint, those are always my favorite shots.

I forget to say that the model was made in 1:35 scale.
This is the way I suppose to display the loader

thank

Nice work, and a good setting too, well layout and composition.

Are you going to ad a wall as a kind of backdrop for your setting ?

No I add a part of structure, near the tools box, to simulate a big workshop, so the loader can be saw from all direction.
