elmarriachi Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Hello, a small project... a German Snowplow on base of the Mercedes Benz L3000 lorry. The kit of the truck is an old kit from Italeri, the 4-wheeldrive upgrade and the snow plow are coming from Plus Model, the resin wheels from Signifer. The cargo bed was modified with Evergreen stripes. The painting so far started with a layer of black primer, then German Grey from Tamiya, ligthend with a light grey. Several oil colors followed - white, blue, brwon and black. Lighter ones on top, darker ones in the shadow arreas. Next step is a layer of clear coat, then demasking the windows. Then further weathering. On the cargo bed I will add the 3 barrels, plus ... don't know yet.... some counterweight to the snow plow ..

Out2gtcha Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 VERY nice! The weathering and dust effects are spot on IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmarriachi Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 Hello, a small update. The barrels on the bed were glued in place and secured with some rope. A layer of matt/shiny clear coat followed. Next follows a painting of the windows in clear coat matt (tarnished from the cold outside), and the load on the cargo bed.

elmarriachi Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 Hello, I have decided to make a small winter diorama for the snowplow. Never tried that and never thought about snow dioramas... specially never thought about snow in Summer But I want to try it The base for the diorama is a small house with a small piece of street. The diorama comes from Miniart. First I have glued all main-parts together. Next will be some putty, then some sandingm then the details .... then painting .... weathering ..... snow Cheers Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmarriachi Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hello, I tried a bit with the snow .... the first layer is on. I have to rework some aready - behind the snow plow, under the car, ... so it is not finished yet. What do you think? The first try with snow ....
