Tamiya sdkfz222

Post by PTB11 »

This is the later boxing which includes the motorbike, photoetch grills, jerry cans & barrels and three new figures.
The ruins are from an old Verlinden kit. The vehicles are painted with Tamiya acrylics, while the ruins and groundwork are done with Vallejo ModelAir. To disguise the lack of depth in the well, I scratched a few wooden planks from plasticard. The signs were done in Photoshop.

Stunning work.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Great work: puts my 1960s landing craft/sherman tank combo, landing in a sea of pollyfilla to shame!

That's a masterpiece Paddy, everything is just so believably weathered. Hope I can get the 222 I've ordered to look even a fraction as good.
