Fascinating camo. But is this desert camo or just dry land camo? Box seem to depict some perhaps urban area.

Olivier
That is post 1943 camo ! No desert at all.

Olivier
Very nice painting, Mathias, by the way.

Mathias Griesbeck
Thank you Olivier. Yes, i found that Camo on Pictures of captured vehicles in late 1944, so i decided to paint it like that. The other variant suggested by Trumpeter is plain Sandbraun, which i thought may be too boring on this (when finished) huge Piece. Also i'm pretty unexperienced in weathering, so I think good Camo is a good way to draw the attention from little mistakes in the weathering. 😄

Mathias Griesbeck
By the way, the one wheel in the picture is already almost done weathering, which i don't find that bad myself. The bigger challenge is to keep that level over the whole model...

Olivier
Another challenge is not to overdo the weathering. I think you are one the right track for a very nice result.

Chris Greathouse
very nice camo, have to have steady hands to paint all that I bet.

Mathias Griesbeck
Thank you. In the beginning i was pretty afraid of painting it, as i enjoy building a lot more than painting at all. But it turned out as not so difficult. (some also say a couple shots of vodka were involved to keep the hands steady 😄 )

Mathias Griesbeck
The trailer is 100% done. Please tell me honest what you think about it as it's my first (finished) painted/weathered model. (I also took the chance for the first use of my photobox, which seems isn't that bad for it's price.)

Olivier
It looks very well made and painted. For a first you can be proud.

Mathias Griesbeck
Thank you Olivier 🙂

Chris Greathouse
Very well done! I know 0 about how to weather, but yours is looking great! Photobox turned out great photos too 🙂 I may buy a box.

I think you are on the right weathering track. Only some spots a little to glossy IMHO.
Nice camo bythway.

Mathias Griesbeck
Thanks @Chris, it's a 40x40x40 box from amazon but i think it's not on sale anymore. if i find it again, i'll give you the link. @Rui S, thank you, too! if you mean the silver drybrushed spots with too glossy i agree with you, sometimes i used too much colour on the brush and couldn't control it properly.
