Looking really good Alex

So is this an OOB job? I thought she's a scratchbuilt as she really looks the part

You're always getting these strange looking vehicles!

It's resin I suppose? anyway...looking good and look forward to see how it looks like complete!

Regards
Noel

It looked as a furnace the first look I took of the fist picture!

But it looks great!

Looking good Alex, love the subtle weathering, maybe just a little oil stains on the bonnet might add some more interesting features buddy, but I guess you are still inprogress ... is this another Russian Civil War project or Colonial Italian?

I really like these civilian like trucks turned to Armoured trucks, the forrunners of MadMax I am very tempted for the Roden Royce, especially the new WW2 version ...

Ivan

Love these old-fashioned style armoured cars....one day hux...as we always say....

Great job so far cousin....

Dottore

Very nice job Alex

ivan
its a pre ww1 vehicle used by the italians in tripoli as for the weathering it only has a single filter/streaking of burnt umber as yet. today hopefully will be posting pics with three more differnet shades

tks to one and all will be posting more today hopefully

As always, nice one and a very interesting topic.

In nannu pec

Great looking weathering as always mate

Great weathering, especially on the large vertical sides!

Regards
Noel

Don;t you just love these strange vehicles you build Alex. They are so cool and your work is great as usual.

Turning out sweetly it is cous....last few steps and you'll be there...

Dusting with oils again?

Dottore

some more weathering and base started.

it is looking really great Alex, the rusting inside the turret is absolutely real. It looks like one big, ghastly coffin with a lot of nails in it but you are doing a great job as usual.

Lovely Alex

You know what it needs this gem one of teh lovely colonial figures La Meridiana are producing ... looking great!

YOU ARE SO RIGHT IVAN
EVEN A SINGLE FIGURE WOULD GIVE PERSPECTIVE TO A VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM IS, IT SEEMS THAT I NO LONGER HAVE THE PATIENCE OR KNACK TO PAINT A FIGURE.. PITY.

I'm speechless. Amazing

can't you find some volunteer to paint one for you? i can do it but my figure paitning is very limited. i just try to copy our great figure painters. i also still paint in oils and they seem to be on the way out although Oliver paints lovely figers and he still uses oils too!!

Alex, YOU KNOW that I WOULD GLADLY (I would be HONOURED to say the least) PAINT a FIGURE with/for you. Remember the proposed Crimean War photographic wagon ?????

So if you're not that tight to display it on a base, find the appropriate figure to fit it on the base and I would paint whatever mate

Brian, on the contrary of what you might think, quite a FEW top painters paint entirely in Oils Hardy Tempest amongst the foreigners who's a member of this forum of ours
