Waiting on the Convoy

[TRM]

Hey guys! This is a project I started a couple of weeks back. It should take to long to get up to speed here.

Scope:

An Afika Korps Scene using Tamiya's old 1/35 Horch 1a, left over trailer from another project converted to a field kitchen some figures (still need to get) in an attempt to create a relaxed scene of soldiers waiting on the movement of the convoy.....definitely a WIP. Hope you enjoy!

The Kit:



The build so far:






Everything on he Horch is just about ready for paint, may start priming this weekend????

The trailer: Left over from a previous build of a 20mm Flakvierling. Scratchin' my way to a field kitchen.







And that's where it's at for the moment. Still working out the layout before I start the base and of course the figures. Thanks for stopping in!

I love watching other people scratch build, specially when they are good at it. This should look sharp when finished.

A little update...

Shifting gears from the trailer to the Horch, I began slinging paint and some weathering. I still have stuff to finish as well as touch-ups, washes,dusting, etc......

Re: Wating on the Convoy

Taking the plunge!!! This is a small update.....


I have not worked to much with oils for weathering before and was waiting a couple of days to decide and finally started in. I had some sun popping through the slider this morning and went for some early shots. I have one or two more coats left to go along with some washes, picked up a great dust weathering wash kit from AK Interactive USA today at the Valleycon 21 Wings and Wheels modeling show. The show was great! Saw a lot of great creations! Didn't enter anything this time but there is always another show!













With the oil weathering I have a while before drying and getting to the next coat, so there should be plenty of time to keep punching out the kitchen and start on the base.

Thanks for stopping by!
