"Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search of our better selves?" The First History Man Hi all, I really enjoyed the Pz III build, which is now finished. Time to tackle another project and to practice the chipping and haispray method(s) even more. This time it will be something smaller. The basic idea is to create something postapocalyptic with a VW Beetle. By chance, I got an ICM SdKfz 222 kit for 5 € some weeks ago. I testfittet its turret to the roof of the Beetle, and it looks pretty conclusive so far. Not sure if it will become a buggy (complete SdKfz wheels), a dragster (rear: SdKfz wheels, front Beetle wheels) or a "normal" version.

Had a lots of fun with the hairspray method when I built the Pz. III, and the beetle will get some of it too. Before I start with the beetle itself, a little testing on the hood first ( >> hull red >> very dark hull red >> hairspray >> light blue ). I found three figures in my stash, that may fit for the vignette. But which one does fit best?   |
