SdKfz 231 8-Rad Armored Car completed.

I built this for a 1940 French Campaign over at Armorama.  I wanted to depict a vehicle which has spent days on road with little thought to cleanliness, but with little to no chipping.

Thank you for looking!

Nice eight wheeler, love the commander peeking out.

Thank you Rob!  After reading how the panzer commanders kept their heads exposed to maintain situational awareness, it's become a standard pose for me to use.  My figure painting skills are still pretty skill-less.  But I hope to do a lot more.

 

I'm not big into dioramas, but I feel a human body adds scale ad interest.

Stunning Gaz, love the subtle weathering and not that beaten up, bravo my friend, utterly sublime.......

I almost missed out, how cool is this? Very nice build Gas. Is this a Dragon kit ?

Thank you, Martin!  Not Dragon, AFV club.  Pretty nice kit.  About the only negatives are rubber wheels and PE with no bend marks.   I didn't find the rubber wheels too daunting, I roughed them up with a Dremel and then hit them with pigments.

Great work Gazza. It looks like it is still on the road. Is it headed east or west?
