Rommels Rod

Look forward to this one! I built it a couple of years back and swapped a Tamiya 251 rear end in.

Thank you GM I started the preshadeing w/ tamiya red brown and black for the rear compartment. the sprayed drk yellow for the body and chassis, drk gray for rear compartment.

Looking good! Going to have to move it up in line in the stash. Hope I haven't picked anything out of it along the way.

Looking real good! 

Thank you Fox and Stik . I’m going to remove the chrome from this kit. Almost done with base coat need to match the grill to the hood .

Started the weathering on the diesel sprayed Tamiya gloss clear gave an oil wash of raw umber then a light dusting of SnJ powder

Oh man, that’s looking real nice!

Thank you Chad so far so good . started weathering the wheels and tracks and the body is ready for gloss clear.

I sprayed Tamiya gloss clear and gave a oil wash of bernt umber and black applied decals and sprayed with tamiya clear flat. Test fit the major parts and some other stuff

Thats turning out really nice!  Can't wait to see Rommels and drivers skeleteons in there.

Thank you Keavdog started on figures last night gave base coat to heads and body waiting for clear coat and oil washes, the drivers eye socket needs some ivory  if not may be too dark.

Not sure what happened to my post, but...

I built this kit around 45 years ago, when I was a kid. I liked it then and I love what your doing to it now. Classic model, and you have pulled off a GREAT BUILD.

Ben 

I dont know what happened either. I gave an oil wash to the heads .

finished up with bones and some clear flat.

Oh man, that is cool! Nice work on all of it. Love the skeletons!

Have been seeing this kit for years never seen one built wasn't sure what it would look like, but you have done a lovely job on it to show that it will turn into an eyecatcher on any shelf. 

Bakster thank you lots of fun with these little guy's

EST61 many thanks its a fun kit goes together easy.

removed the chrome from hood ornament' but its still in brake fluid need to clean up .

Well done so far.

Great job so far!  It's a good kit, deserving of the attention you're giving it.

I removed the chrome from the Red Baron hot rod, too.  I wanted to be able to clean up the seams and sprue gates, and it was just easier to do it that way.

If I could offer a suggestion, I would add a drop of clear gloss on Rommel's goggles-Future, for example, or your clear gloss of choice.

Best regards,

Brad

Thanks Brad I did add a drop of future to the generals goggels and the driver and general are in place with some small stuff.

Thank you midnightprowler its a fun kit.

Lol. That is awesome! Man, you did nice work. I love the weathering that you did. And what a fun project. Thanks for sharing!

Good thing they still have their hats and boots.  Otherwise this build might violate the boards "no nudity" policy (though in a very extreme way )

W - O - W!!!!! Looks great.
