But can someone tell me what these are View attachment 74864

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

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.

[Guest]

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 View attachment 74280Lol

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!

[Guest]

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.
