John HughesWhen this is completed I fully expect to see it carrying a bundle of matchsticks!

Tom B.That is going to be a very interesting little build... glory to the weird and unusual subjects! 🙂

Zsolt CzegleThe hydraulic tubes are mounted and the windows are removed. So I could primed all parts in black

Zsolt CzegleThank you mates.
Michael : I used a mixture of AK acrylics: red, yellow and new iraqui sand

Zsolt CzegleI painted last night some dirt with liquid pigments and added shadows with Ammo Shaders.
This was the first time I used the Shaders and I think it's a great and easy to use stuff!

Michael KohlThanks for your feedback. If I may ask some more technical questions:
- whichs paints do you use?
- how do you dilute them?
- do you work in segments?
I had problems with water diluted Tamiya-paints, but probably my paint coats were simply too thick. I had to resort to drastic measures like brass brushes and windex (the old formula with urea in it) to achieve the desired effects

Zsolt CzegleMichael :
I use AK's 2nd and 3rd gen acrylics. But first I primed the whole model with AK 3rd gen acrylic primer. All paints are diluted with own thinner. No home made "Magic Tricks" !
Check the video from Mig how to paint the right way with acrylics: Youtube Video
The "segments" of my painting process were:
1. Primer
2. Dark rust color
3. Chipping fluid
4. Red paint and some highlights
5. Tap water and paintbrush for the chipping effects
6. Matt varnish
7. Green Stuff World's liquid pigments for the first dirt effect
8. Ammo Shaders
9. Pinwash with AK's black panel liner
10. Fading and highlights with oil paints
Next future steps
- dirt effects with AK diorama paste (stirred earth and accumulated dirt /dust)
- streaking and final weathering effects with AK weathering pencils.
I hope I could help!

Ben MTamiya does not dilute well with water as it is alcohol based. The x20a thinner works or isopropyl with care.

Tom B.The paintjob on this is really top notch 👍 This project made me buy the skidder-variation of that kit!

Bernhard SchrockHard to believe that's 1:72! Excellent work especially weathering & realness.

Zsolt CzegleThank you mates!
Tom: Today I contacted with the producer of this kit, and he will released 2 other vehicles with this chassis.
Unfortunatelly he can't accept payment now, so I can buy the other maybe next year...

Zsolt CzegleI think I completed this awfull awesomeness! I'm very statisfied now. This time I could succeeded as I imagined it at the start! 🙂
I can upload better daylight photos on Friday!

Michael KohlI think you have all the reason to be satisfied. I turned out into a really ugly beauty or beautiful ugly. 😉 Top wear. I think a figure would be nice with it.

Zsolt CzegleDanke Michael! I try to find a worker figure, but in this scale... Maybe a Russian soldier with some modification...

Michael KohlI love those:
reedoak.com/#!/1-72-Modern-truck-driver-with-safety-boots-1-JL/p/59064560/category=13308145
But I had to order it through their homepage (to save postage of course with more figures for plenty of future projects 😉)

NeulingWhere do you get these giant matchsticks? - Wonderful small scale build, everything just right! You´re one of those 1/72 experts who I admire and envy for their sharp eyes and skilled fingers.

Łukasz GlińskiThat's brilliant, you definitely need some crew in valenki boots 😄

Zsolt CzegleThank you mates for your kind words! I really glad to read your comments! I very appreciate it!

Simon NagorsnikAlmost forgot to leave a comment here, what a shame 😱
Not only a perfect painting on this special object, but also a good atmosphere.
You also hit the base very well and reminds me of dirty forest work 😁
Two questions:
-A short description of the base please
-And how is the construction of snake model kits?
7 December 2022, 17:12
Zsolt CzegleDanke sehr Simon!
The Snake Modell kits have very good quality of resin and great castong. Everything fits precisious. No grates only few little seamlines. Nothing to sanding. The main thing is: the object is unique.
The base is made with my usual technic: I glued some polysytren chips on the base with pva glue. The ground is made from acrylic paste from AK (8023) After it d ez írd I pai ted with Green Stuff World's liquid pigments. The pub les are made with AK Puddles (8028). The leafs are pu ched from real yellowed leafs with Green Stuff World's leaf puncher. (1416)
Maybe next time I'll take photos about every stage...
I hope I could help...

Mirko RömerWhat a wonderful work! Your clever technical approach really paid off on this rare model!

Zsolt CzegleAs I promised I took some better photos by daylight! Ihope you like them!
