discussion Italeri 1/72 Autoblinda AB41

[The Migrant]

I started this kit two years ago on vacation (remember those?), but it's sat half-built since then so I decided to finish it. A straightforward little kit, though lacking a bit of detail (especially the tyres). First time I've tried any kind of diorama/vignette base, I shamelessly copied the groundwork techniques from a YouTube Warhammer video. The sign artwork was created on my computer, printed on an inkjet and glued to styrene, while the oil drum is just a piece of wine-bottle foil.

Mike,
That is very very nice and the finish belies it's scale.

That’s a good little vignette Mike. Vehicle is completely believable. The groundwork is great, love the cracked earth effect especially.

I thought it was 1/35 till I read this!

Stunning work on such a small scale. One to be proud of

That is absolutely gorgeous! But you have got to stop posting 1/35 scale and saying they are 1/72! lol.
