That's some nice work! I really like the way you did the dust and dirt. 

And the base works fine as something to show off the model, I've seen a lot of people (including me) overcomplicate things. 

 Aw man, (and in that scale) what a piece of eye-candy!

                            
                    That's just gorgeous!

 All 'ya need now is a good backdrop and it'd be hard
to tell from the real deal.

"Out of hand"   ............  a great job all around.
                                            

I like the look of that,  really nice looking build and not something i have sen before. Could easily be mistaken for 35th.

Thanks. An unusual kit I'd not seen before (I've got the Vomag bus in the stash to build too). I couldn't find any historical references to cammo patterns for the Voman and I hadn't done a flat german grey. Gave me a chance to play with a dot filter. Came out ok in the end :-)

Still pondering about a dio...

Excellent work Richard!!!
