discussion mtl.spw.sd.kfz 251/1 ausf.d

[monica]

well I was not in the mood real to be painting 28mm figures today.


1.35 mtl.spw.sd.kfz 251/1 ausf.d


So I started this one with the intent to get her together and under coated,


as I fuzzy,move in for a sleep in the box as she,dose,I don,t have the hart to move her,


so started it and ,went together so well,not fix problems,and once done,fuzzy was still sleeping,


so had to go back to do some think else for a bit until she woke up,


and she did around 2 o,clock or so ,and I was able to get some more done,for the


life of me ,I don,t know how I,did it from box opened at 7am,then a kip,for a couple of


hrs till about 1 or so,then this all happened,from 2pm to 4pm,


well I do hope you like the start of it,


and yes all camo do freehand,and still needs the dots added,and all the detailing and weathering,


well enjoy I,hope


comments most welcome,

Another Wehrmacht ace production in the making ( Monica on the case!!)


I really do like your work Monica you make it look so easy really you do and the cats have always got their say in your modelling too which I think is quite sweet as I have puddytats too


Great attention to detail as always.


Cheers

Cracking start Monica, are you placing it on a dio setting.

 

[Guest]

For some strange reason I've never built a halftrack! So I'll be watching this one Moni are you planning to do it in ambush camo?


Isn't it funny how cats go to where we want to be? My lil girl decides to sleep on the chair, table or even the spray booth whenever I'm thinking about getting to grips with a model ...it's like she's read my mind! View attachment 240305

ta Patrick,always glad to see you watching and keep an eye on me lol,keeps me out of trouble,


I think so,as I like that look,so will come back over with the dots,and have only done that once before,


you know other than this one,I have only done one before,so at the meets I pickup a couple of them,


after that new paper report of getting them out of the river ,made me wont to do one,


all what I do is governed by them,as I have to chairs at my table,one,s for painting the other end to work


on base and so on,and the small table is were I,spray,so fuzzy was sleeping in the box,on the spraying table,


and vamp was sleeping on the painting end so all I could do,was work on the track,as I never can wake them


or move,them off were there att,so I work around them,


oh thats so true my always know were and what i have in mind,and beat me to it lol,just got to lov them so,

Looking good. I always steer away from these, got a couple in the stash, due to the problems of painting inside and outside totally different with that huge open roof. Obviously doesn't bother you . Nice work.

I missed this one Monica....... But now I am on board..... It's sure to be good.

ta ,Graham,I don't real find it hard as I,just tend to look at it as some more weathering,


and I think that its turned out all right in my eyes,


as I have only done one before so thats why I,m doing this one,,and have one more as well,with so much more detail,

I missed this one Monica....... But now I am on board..... It's sure to be good.

so Glad to have you along Peter,happy your liking it so far,
