Reply With QuoteGreat model, and great weathering, top job Ian.
Found this looking lonely on the shop shelf a while ago and thought it would look good in my "Desert" collection.
Its Italeri in 1/35. I actually found a paint colour I can live with vallejo's Iraqui sand.
Mucked it up with a couple of oilpaint washes. Black for general grime and burnt sienna for the rust. Yes rust on a desert truck. But good enough. Its bloody cold and frost is not uncommom at night. Nooks and crannies hold the moisture and in theory at least you could get rust!!! (and I'm sticking to that excuse!!!)
Here you go:

All I need to do is find the decals for the markings. Had them yesterday!!!!

Great model, and great weathering, top job Ian.
Well poke me with a sharp stick! That looks nice, your desire to 'rescue' a lonely model from the shop is to be applauded of course and I'm sure anyone else would do the same.
Thats really nice Ian, looks fantastic.

That looks great Ian and you're absolutely right about rust in the desert - over night moisture in the air does condense on to cold metallic surfaces and with the salts from the sand and in the air this will very quickly form rust.

Remember boys, flies spread disease... so keep yours closed!
Top work ian , excellent weathering ,the dustiness of a desert vehicle is perfectly captured. Tell me are you thinking of putting a canvas tilt on it? cheers tony
Thanks chaps! Means a lot to me.
Tony: Had not actually thought of a tilt, but was contemplating a camo net. One problem, how big whole the net be in 1/35 scale 5mm?

I'm liking this Ian, nice to see something with wheels instead of tracks. Top work on the weathering, five stars mate.
Have fun, John
