Pedro

SASD;

Excellent work again! Nice conversion work on the vehicles. The last CMP is it a resin conversion or your own work?

Cheers;

It didn't take long to get these pics online and the dio does look good. I believe I critiqued it enough when I snapped the shots and I'm sure we will discuss the fence more when we go for coffee.lol

Looking good Russ, love that armoured car! ....and the debate goes on about the fence! LOL

Many thanks guys for the comments,Bugsy,you take some mean pics and yeah I suppose the debate will rage on about the fence.

The last cmp is a conversion using the Tamiya Quad cab,chassis and tires,the radio van body is scratchbuilt using plastic sheet stock. The next cargo cmp is a conversion scratch using the chassis from an LRDG chev,the running gear from an Italeri cmp,completely scratched cmp cab and tilt,roof of cab was an extra and a lengthend LRDG box.

The Staghound is an Acurate Armour kit with some minor additions and stowage.

The ambulance Jeep is an Italeri kit with a few stowage items.

The Scout Car is a Canadian Lynx,which is for the most part a scratchbuild. I utilized the fighting compartment body from a Tamiya Dingo and the tires from an Italeri 15cwt cmp.

I think your doing just fine Pedro,your Russian dio is an excellent piece of work.

Thanks very much everyone!

As usual, this is just fantastic work. Very inspiring.

Thanks for the kit list, that was going to be my question

Yeah MJ,guess you could say that ,I do have alot of vehicles already built and waiting in the wings,stuff like carriers,Shermans,armoured cars,halftracks,trucks,jeeps,Stuarts and a Ram Kangaroo,better get my butt in gear and get some dios going!

Thanks for the comment Zo.

looks amazing sasd, if i took 5 vehicles and a bunch of guys and stuck em on a base it would look like i took 5 vehicles and a bunch of guys and stuck em on a base you however make em look exactly like it is meant to be this is one of my favourites so far of yours, great stuff thanks for the look.

Thank you all,your comments are very inspireing to me,I do love putting these ideas together and bring them to you all here.I`m not much of a teacher in showing you how I achieve certain things or how I create the finished look,my only hope is that you study the pics and ask direct questions,my wife even says I do things too quickly but she`s only worried about space,lol! I can tell you all that I have 3 new pieces ready for pics so you`ll all have something new to see from me.

Getting back to Tango`s question about the cobblestone road,on this perticular piece the road section was made by a friend of mine who used to design buildings for a very popular company way back in the 80s,was supposed to be a company revival piece and was designed to be long enough and wide enough to hold 3 vehicles or a tank and a truck etc.To make a long story short I inherited all of the new pieces and some old stuff as well,it`s one of a kind Tango sorry but you can get very good results using the Tamiya embossed sheets of cobblestone,I have used them in the past and they are excellent! I paint the road section a grey,wash in burntumber and black acrylics,drybrush with a dust colour and accent or hilite with pastels. The rubble is sprinkled on and fixed with whiteglue and water before the pastel work.
