This is the best treatment anyone has ever given Tamiya's LRDG on youtube, really first class video. Thanks for sharing your techniques, the white / yellow oil wash worked great for me. On mine, I ended up drilling out the solid headlight and putting a clear lense in, I scratch built the fuel can boxes on the running board and fitting the more detailed cans from Bronco's British Field Accessories kit. I put slings on the rifles and replaced some of the decals with custom made ones. I plan on putting the Lewis on a different mount and fitting a Vickers heavy mg on the pedestal.

Such a good job, painting this kit - weathering is such a necessary part of making a model. I think that most are overdone, and I just love videos of model shows and all the jaw-dropping results of all that patient work. I can remember building this when it first became available, many years ago; weathering wasn't a thing I considered. It was the color of Gulden's mustard - a very eye-catching camouflage brownish yellow. It's the exact same kit, but the current standards for weathering make this one look very different(and MUCH better)! Thanks for sharing this.

You have exceptional skill and patience. Remarkable work. A suggestion for a video theme: Build a series of dioramas depicting an early WW2 vehicle, preferably Nazi, perhaps something like a Panzerspahwagen, at first like-new, as it would have appeared in review before Hitler in late '30's Berlin. Then -- age it, slowly, over time. Show it as it might have appeared, say, invading Poland, or France, worn but still proud. Then the same vehicle in the deserts of North Africa, even more scarred and damaged but still functional, only to be evacuated to Sicily or Italy, battered but defiant. Finally, show it broken and spent, thrown into the collapsing defense of the Fatherland.

Only thought why it popped up is recent BBC series on SAS: Rogue Heroes and reading up on Long Range Desert Patrol Group. Having spent childhood on backside of Sahara Desert, there is one thing missing which might go into the diarama you hint at in a reply to a comment - the sand. Would some fine dried paving sand be correct scale to blow over the whole thing to get grains stuck in crevices? In real life, it's a thing that you just can't remove completely

I don't understand how all you guys get away with using artist's oils. We couldn't afford the Humbrol enamel paints so I tried it in the early 70's on an Airfix Stuka and the stuff just wouldn't dry on a plastic kit! Ended up throwing it in a bin after 3 weeks of waiting having wasted a month's worth of pocket money to buy the kit, not sure I've forgiven my mum for making me bin it yet :)

Great job but too tidy, the body needs scratches, dents, rust, a bent front bumper and a couple of bullets holes. Also at the back needs some improvisation and mess. Please, don't get me wrong, you did a great job but too by the book for me...
@brnesouthwest99155 жыл бұрын
Have you done one? The bumper is shorter on the driver's side and has been altered, you had to be sharp to be see it but when the sprues were shown with their parts the bumper was an even length on both sides. Along with some serious scraping damage on the driver's front wing. To put a 7.92mm German bullet hole in the vehicle would require a heated darning needle to be pushed through the plastic and then moved around to increase the hole size any where from 2mm to 2.5mm if you're going to do it to scale, and the house will smell acrid for a bit. However I do agree with you and Shui Ki Cheung that if it was on an operation there would be plenty of fuel jerry cans and water jerry cans painted with a white cross them. Then there would be boxes of ammo, rat packs and Lewes's bombs.
