Next up is this [ATTACH]74863.IPB[/ATTACH]


But can someone tell me what these are [ATTACH]74864.IPB[/ATTACH]

I'm thinking some kind of sandbag but they appear to be either silver or stone colour in the illustration on the box , and with it being italieri you have no instructions or paint guide

[eddiesolo]

They look some kind of sandbag type Alan, I would paint them a stone/beige colour.

Nice R75 Alan, love the paint job and weathering.

They're supposed to be bags of sand tied at the top and laid out flat

[Alan 45]

Thanks guys , it makes sense them being sand bags

Si it's the first time I've done this colour scheme on a German vehicle before and when it was first painted I thought it was way too yellow so I gave it a wash of brown to dull it down and left it then used dark earth for the dust effect I think it came out ok

Next it will have some lichen sticking out of it to give the effect of it being stuck in a hedge

[Guest]

Watch what you do with the lichen Alan, when we judge it we might act like tools and think it's too cliché and trying too hard...

(God I hope that club judge reads this forum :-))

To Colin and Simon I have got you this [ATTACH]74280[/ATTACH]Lol

I have no idea what possessed you to get those pair a spoon! They're already perfectly capable of stirring things without you giving them support!

Looking very good so far Alan, this bike is genial!

[Alan 45]

Thanks folks for the laugh and the compliments

So do I, maybe he could explain via PM or publicly what the problems were is a more civilised manner.
