KRUPP 4X6 WITH FLAK 37
Posted by waynec on Wednesday, June 4, 2014 5:07 PM

a couple of tamiya kits OOB. it's painted with tamiya pz yellow and freehand brush painted with MMA pz green and red brown. after that i misted everything with the yellow to tone down the contrast. the gun is metallic gray with black oil wash. i washed it with raw umber and went back over the wood on the bed with medium gray. i  kept the mud splatter and dust to a minimum. i painted all the hubs on the truck green or brown because i think a big round yellow hub in a tree line would just be an aiming point.

this base is not as fancy as i would like so as to keep it in armor soft skin and not vignette. base is model clay and liquidtex. first time i airbrushed the dirt. grass is obviously turf and base was oversprayed with dust to tone everything down.

Nice work there Wayne! Not often you see a Flak 37 being towed, so that's a plus all by itself! Yes

thank you.

some of these pieces look really different in travel mode. i did a soviet 122mm and an sFH-18 (but that was after i superglued the spades on the trails and before i knew what they were) that way. certainly cuts down the footprint. probably will continue to since it  presents differently.

Indeed looks great!

A few details to consider:

The road had tracked vehicle imprints, the 6x6 truck and trailer would leave a mark in the soil / gravel.

Always like to see a person or two, some contests 'bump'  models with figures to vignettes or dioramas. If this is the case and you do not wish to compete other than for the vehicle then understandable leaving out personnel.

The 6x6 seems bare without stowed gear! The AM is always full of jerry cans, fuel drums, ammo crates ect. a simple tarp over 'crates' would suggest stowed gear without breaking the bank on resin goodies.

Oh and the 37mm gun breach in travel mode was usually tarped and the muzzle to keep the dust bunnies out of the barrel and breach mechanism while traveling.

thank you

for the tracks, they are a day after following an PZ-IV unit and the ground is hard (REALLY that was my thinking and i'm sticking to it)

for the people i agree. gives a sense of scale. i would add a couple and i would jazz up the terrain more but everyone is still seeing where IPMS base decisions are going.

right you are. stowed gear will come after i decide what category i want this in . also trying to figure out how to make a nice tarp and trying different techniques, obviously without success at this point.

Looks pretty good to me Wayne!  

I like the look you gave the wood in the back of the Protze.  As previously mentioned, you don't see artillery and AA guns in the traveling configuration that often, it gives them another look all together.

Shepard Pane described soaking tissue paper in watered down white glue to make tarps.

It works very well but you must be careful not to tear it especially on a corner, just drape it over or add the watery glue from the middle working out. It takes paint really well - kind of 'wicks' it up.
