I wanted to deviate from my usual comfort zone of US or UK, plus, something a bit older looking.
First comes the engine block, then the read differentials and wheels. Each wheel is made up of something like 7 parts each!
Building up the chassis now, ready to add the wheels. I've already painted in the ironwork with a good amount of rust wash on the leaf springs.
So, it's now starting to look like a truck now.
Running boards and rear compartment added - all wood, so base coated with a wood colour to start. Then some kursk earth colour "sprayed" on by mixing kursk earth, some talc powder and a little burnt sienna acrylic - dip the top of an old toothbrush in and drag a thumbnail over to flick it over the base to simulate mud splatter.
Need to work on that woodwork...
... base coat brown, add knotting with burnt sienna and a 000 brush, scuff some areas and add highlights...
... emphasise planking, steelwork and so on.
Then to add some "life" to the setting...
A few ammo boxes, tarps (made from das modelling clay), the field kitchen, and some figures.
And here's the finished diorama.
