discussion 1/35 SADF Eland Mk7 (AML 90) "Noddy Car"

[Snowman]

I have a buddy who's 6'8". He was a gunner in a Noddy Car. I for life of me can't imagine how the hell he got in at all.

Thrown a bit more colour, then some detail painting, seal and weather.
Till next time!

I like 4 wheel scout cars. While the WW2 models are everywhere, the post-war models are very neglected. Great model, I like what you've done with it.

My mate was 6'7" and drove a Ferret.

If it was a Mk. 1 then his head at least had somewhere to go

No, a 2/3 I think with the turret... We often wondered where his legs went - not through the floor, we checked...

Well, I've given it a wash, added some mud. The Browning looks great. Wait for it to dry, seal and add the dust. Then the wheels and antenna.



Till next time.

This is really looking good.

Well, Operation Dust is underway.

Not too sure, but I'm feeling my way through the process.
Have applied liberally, now the delicate process of removing the excess.
Wish me luck!

Fingers crossed. If they are enamel based I use a flat brush dipped in white spirit and then the excess wiped on some kitchen towel, I then start to brush away the unwanted pigments gently.

Thanks, I will see if I can safely apply that.
