Superb work on that halftrack! My only criticism would be on that .45 cal pistol just lying in that storage box. I don't think a highly prized souvenir like that would just be left out for any old goosestepping kamerad to swipe.

Nice job-I love these captured pieces of armour (as well as planes)-my treat would be to build that 'ersazt' M-10 which was a phoney mock-up of a Panther (done during the Battle of the Bulge by the Waffen SS).

Absolutely amazing paintwork - the weathering and highlighting is really impressive-looking.
What paints and techniques do you use?

Wow, spectacular paintwork. How did you do the wash around the rivets? It's just amazing.
I'm keeping these pics as references for my own build, if you don't mind Tongue [:P]

Looks great, but isn't the hood star on upside down? I think the stars were applied pointing toward the windshield.

I thank those comments a lot, really you if they know how to lift him the I encourage anyone...Thank you!!!
As for the techniques: the filters, the watery ones, wash, and pin washed are all in paintings to the oil and then drybrush with painting humbrol, I don't use pastries. To detail edges or angles (sometimes) I use a graphite pencil and the waste of the gunpowder I make them with graphite powder, as well as some rivets or screws where the waste for footfalls or prints is very trafficked
The technique and uses of the exposed techniques are that is to say in sandwish form first the dry technique and then the humid ones and this way an on of other allowing an interval of time so that they dry off and......... Ready!!

The splash of the mud is made sprayed painting humbrol, Model Master, Tamiya or anyone without diluting and to low pressure.
Thank you, for your comment Stug3

Overall excellent halftrack Mario!!!! The decaling(or hand painting) is especially well done, the interior is great! I have a question, did the amtrack ACTUALLY have solid rubber tracks, because thats the impression I get from looking at all photos ive seen of this vehicle

Hi Tigertankman
The track is rubber as it brings them the kit tamiya, but their internal part was modified, because in its original version it was not this way
