Panzerpahwagen BA 64(r), 1/35, MiniArt 35110, Final gallery

Hello folks.
This is final post regarding MiniArt's BA-64(r). Lovely little kit. I had fun building it. It is a small vehicle that gives you a lot of weathering fun. Great stuff to practice.

Enough words, let's see the pictures!!!

Panzerpahwagen BA 64(r), 1/35, MiniArt 35110, Part 5

Hello folks.
Getting fast to the end. Here's the last update on the project before the final reveal. Let's get to it.

 Pretty much all the washes and basic weathering is done.
 Washes come fom Mig pallette. I used dark brown one, designed for DAK purposes, I think.
 But it also works here, giving me nice contrast.
 Spare wheel attached.
 I also did all the equipment attached to the vehicle.
 After washes it was time for streaks and general altering colors.
 I did stick to the brown pallette as it feels as good choice.
 Next step was add some white spots, to emphasize the depth of color scheme.
 I did that with some white streaks and sprinkles.
 Then I bought the black background.
 Surely, the pictures look more distinguished now.
 Some more subtle weathering, this time with light gray pallette.
 Mainly oil paints.
 I tried to do one section at a time to avoid symetrical doings.
 When it comes to armour modelling, assymetry is your best friend.
 I really like the way this model looks.
 It is very small vehicle, but it can look effective.
 Also, did some rusty pigments on the exhaust,
 OK - time to put wheels on.
 And this is how it looks, standing on his own "legs".
 Attaching wheels was tricky as the holes in them were too big.
 I had to make some arangements to make them fit.
 But it did work, and finally I attached them
 It looks like the end is very, very near.
 Just the gun and the base.
 And, of course, our german soldier.
Thanks for watching. Stay tuned for final reveal.
Cheers
D.
