trumpeter 1/35 8x8 VRC-105 CENTAURO
Posted by waynec on Sunday, May 27, 2012 4:52 PM
this is the spanish mod of the italian CENTAURO (of which i have 2 more in my stash) and my second 8x8 (LAV-III) to go with a 6x6 COUGAR and three 4x4 (DAK-222, V-150 (90mm) and BRDM-AT5). is there a genre here? this turned out nice. the side rail was a problem and i screwed it up but was able to hide it. headlight pe was not fun and i left off a couple of pieces on the side because any "accuarcy" would have been destroyed with poor looking modeling. hell there can't be more than 6 people in colorado that would even know though i'm sure the WARWHEELS guys would catch it. the paint is MMA green drab, mud is artist's acrylic and dust is weathering powder. ration boxes are from LAV-III, camo net is bandage wrap and straps are tape. the cables are 32 gauge white artificial plant stems rubbed down with metallic gray and weathered. i like these because they are easy to bend to shape. may be a tad big. i am going to talk to my wood ship club guys and see if i can use speaker wire strands and a rope walk. if so i will spend an afternoon making 20' of 3 twist and 4 twist cables. i always luave the tools bare metal though i know we painted them in my unit. just provides a bit of contrast. it is a mean looking ***.

You got that one together real quickly Wayne. Turned out well. I must admit that I know nothing about the vehicle itself, so i'll have to bone up on it. 

Thanks again fro participating in our GB.
