U.S. 6X6 Cargo Truck M561 Gama Goat, 1/35, Tamiya 35330, Part 6

Hello folks. Last update before finish:

 Weathering started.
 Filters and washes.
 I am going heavy on this.
 I really like weathered vehicles.
 Weathering adds that 'special'  look.
 Don't forget the trailer.
 And cargo.
 Things are closing to the end.

 Heavy weathering.







 Time tu pull these masks off.
 There we go.


 Aaaaand wheels.
Done. Project is finished now. Next post: SHOWTIME!

Let's review a: Otter LRC, 1/35, IBG

Hello modelling folks. Today we're going to see what's inside the box of IBG's Otter LRC in 1/35th scale. And we're going see that on a video! Yes, I created a YouTube channel to do the videos as well. This is a first of few episodes in which I will attempt to build this vehicle.
So, if you have a couple of minutes, please come and see.

U.S. 6X6 Cargo Truck M561 Gama Goat, 1/35, Tamiya 35330, Part 5

Hello lads. Next update on the subject:

 Primer on:
 It was Tamiya's primer.
 The bottled one which you pour into airbrush.
 I think I used too big pressure.
 The grain is quite large but I decided to leave that on.
 This will give me some weathering options.
 You can see that on that front plate.
 I really like structured look of the whole thing.
 On-display interior helps.
 So do the self-made additions.
 Paint on.
 I used a color modulation technique.
 It gives nice contrast which helps if it comes to highlighting details.
 That was Tamiya's Olive Drab with different quantities of White.
 I like the outcome.
 Time to start the weathering.
 Wash on with some chippings.
Also did some detail painting.
Looks nice and neat.

And tires. Those will be weathered soon.

That is all folks. More to come. Soon.

U.S. 6X6 Cargo Truck M561 Gama Goat, 1/35, Tamiya 35330, Part 4

Hello again. I have made some progress on the subject. Here it is:

 Trailer is ready, so I put the primer on...
 It was Tamiya,s I think.
 I also made some additions. Rings on the bottom side of trailer I made from copper wire and peace of plastic.
 I really like the look of it.
 Back to truck - here'e some fuel lines.
 As you can see, they are barely seen, but it is a nice addition.
 Next step: Windshield, winch.
 You can also see the rings here in the corners.
 I added the wired cable to the winch drum.
 The detailing is pretty much ready.
 Oh, I added windshield supports - it is a copper wire.
 The side lampds have been given some details as well.
 The same goes for fuel tanks.
 Here's closer look on the front of the truck.
That's how it looks so far. Be back for more shortly.
Thanks for watching.
D.
