So I'm finally in with this monster! [IMG][url=https://flic.kr/p/K3n2mi] [/url]Academy_1_72_Schwimmwagen_box by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr[/IMG]No, not the fuel truck but the Schwimmwagen amphibious car in glorious 1/72 scale. Here's the sprue shot.. Academy_1_72_Schwimmwagen_contents by Dermot Moriarty, on FlickrAnd this is how big she is... Academy_1_72_Schwimmwagen_contents_1 by Dermot Moriarty, on FlickrLooking forward to it and been a long time since I built any 1/72 wheeled stuff. Who knows, might even do a little diorama for it! Cheers, Dermot |

Bit more done on this wee fella. First coat of camo green on... Academy_1_72_Schwimmwagen_paint_2 by Dermot Moriarty, on FlickrFollowed by the reddish brown Academy_1_72_Schwimmwagen_paint_3 by Dermot Moriarty, on FlickrLooked a bit too 'new' for a vehicle in the field so tried to dull it back by drybrushing the base colour over the camo... Academy_1_72_Schwimmwagen_paint_5 by Dermot Moriarty, on FlickrAnd started adding bits like the hood, frame and tools.. Academy_1_72_Schwimmwagen_paint_6 by Dermot Moriarty, on FlickrWill get started on the weathering later on. Cheers, Dermot |

So with the snow and a couple of days off work, got the little Schwimmwagen finished. Probably a little over-weathered - i'm not used to weathering armour vehicles but it will be on a muddy diorama base. Academy_1_72_Schwimmwagen_5 by Dermot Moriarty, on FlickrThe only non-kit bits are the extra wheels on the back which are from the spares box. Academy_1_72_Schwimmwagen_7 by Dermot Moriarty, on FlickrI'm also adding these metal figures to it from SHQ MIniatures. IMG_6697 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr IMG_6698 by Dermot Moriarty, on FlickrWhich will hopefully end up with something like this from the Ardennes, December 1944. Men from 1st SS Panzer Div at Kaiserbaracke crossroads, between St. Vith and Malmedy, December 1944. by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr(Source: Wikipedia Commons) Cheers, Dermot |
