Bomber_County Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 As this has be my first mini WIP, here is the completed project. Basically OOB build but with the Breda mounted on the rear deck. Rummaged through the spares box for drums etc and added PE sand channels. The radio masts were substituted with brass rod. Enjoyed this one hope you do to......... 11 1

GazzaS Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Phil, What an awesome job you've done. The weathering is great... very realistic and not overblown. The added stowage and the little things like chains to hold the tailgate enrich the model significantly. Bravo! Gaz 3
Bomber_County Posted May 24, 2019 Author Posted May 24, 2019 Thanks Gaz really appreciate your comments as your builds are sublime. A year ago I wouldn’t have dreamed of publishing a project, doing a WIP or a GB.......it’s all of you guys here on LSM that gives people like me the confidence to have a go........thanks one and all....... 5

Martinnfb Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 That looks fantastic Phil ! I like your style and out of the box approach to this conversion. I actually picked up this kit recently and it was packed together with Breda as well. Some kind of special edition. Thanks for sharing Cheers M. 1
Bomber_County Posted May 25, 2019 Author Posted May 25, 2019 Thanks Martin, much appreciated, you need to start on yours......... 1
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted June 5, 2019 Administrators Posted June 5, 2019 Phantastic result, Phil! That’s exactly the look I like. Used, but not abused. It looks like a gun buggy should look. Not like it’s been ditched and rolled before landing back on its wheels. 1
DocRob Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Wow Phil, some days of absence and I nearly missed your finishing that beauty. I love your way of painting and subtly weathering the Chevy. Everything looks good and 'busy' in other words, just right. Cheers Rob 1

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted June 8, 2019 Administrators Posted June 8, 2019 Phil, I may need some tips on realistic vehicle weathering. I’m passable with aircraft, but vehicles either end up looking showroom new, or ready for the trash heap. 1
