Kettenwagen- 3T jack ready

After finishing the "Sentry" dio im returning to the Kettenwagen s/f project.
The scratch building of the 3T jack is finished.



AIRBUS A380 Revell 1/144



Commision build for young aviation enthusiast.
It was ordered to be built as brand new aircraft, without any weathering.
The tail section is slightly modified- i painted the blue stripe, and used parts of large decal over the top. The fuselage is really of the complex shape there, and this way i think i managed to obtain better finish.
Painted using Halfords Mercedes Brilliant White car spray paint.






...and the new owner.
Smile on his face was worth all the effort.

Sentry figure finished



Sentry figure is done now.
The soldier will have the map in the left hand.


Opel Olympia- stowage

While working on the sentry figure i took the short break to make the stowage.
Tarpaulin is made out of the Nescafe coffee lid.
The mat for driving out of mud is made using the toothpicks, which have been carved to look like tree branches, and weathered using various washes.
The stowage will be tied with string, the mat with the wire.



"Sentry" diorama- Feldgendarme figure

The sentry figure is from Hornet.



First i discarded the handheld stop sign from behind the belt. Then the hands were cut off, and the sleeves drilled.
I will use the hands, and the head in M18 helmet from Hornet.
Handheld stop sign will be in the right hand- pointing the way.




I sanded down the belt buckle, collar tabs, and the rest of the stuff, that will be replaced by the PE parts.
Primer Chaos Black is on.

"Sentry" diorama- pigeon

Pigeon

Magic Sculp was used to make the body. The tail, and wing ends were cut from the beer can, and glued on. After that was done, the wings were sculpted on top.
Legs made with 0.125mm copper wire. Toes soldered onto the legs.
