YA-12 - MiniArt 1/35 - One run done

[bbd468]

Hey brother Luigi, Tractor is really comin' alive! Love the weathering Luigi...well done bro.

Gary

[armorguy]

O yes, I like it a lot ! The wood looks the part, nice streaks ! Top thread Luigi !

[bullardino]

Steve, Gary and Guy, thanks a lot for the comments.

I'm thinking of adding dirt to the cargo bed, now, instead of adding mud to the carriage. This way I will add the load (the two boxes, two tarps, a bag and a bucket I scratched for it) and the rear will be done. And, most of all, it will be easier to handle without muddy wheels...

All comments and suggestions welcome, as always

[ceresvesta.]

Wow, this is keeping getting better Luigi. Please keep this up!

[bullardino]

Hey, Phil, thanks a lot

Dicky, I hope you're right, next build I'll make sure everything is hidden and secure when I'm not at the bench

[Leon]

LOL Luigi you need to padlock the man cave. Hope your parcel arrives soon.

[fightnjoe]

[bullardino]

Leon, I will lock it, put a death warning sign on the door and some electric fence around it

Joe, thanks a lot mate

Dicky, you must be psychic, the parcel arrived this morning. And the content is ferkin awesome. It fits perfectly the bonnet and it's even better than the original part. Thanks a lot mate, really

Thanks you all guys for stopping by

Dicky it would have been a pleasure to receive it from your hands

Carl, a friend of mine explained me that european postal service has a single clearing station where everything must pass, and this makes everything slower...

........Crazy Lui . when i order stuff from Poland it takes a week to get to the western USA , which surprised me .Oh well , you got it finally .

[bullardino]

And here you are the pics:

The long awaited lid is a masterpiece, I love it

I hope to paint it during this weekend.

[Leon]

Luigi the bonnet looks terrific.Waiting for your next update.

[deafpanzer]

Great job Dicky! Perfect fit... now we can't wait to see it done with Luigi's magic next.

[bullardino]

Leon and Andy, Dicky did a perfect job

Dicky, it was easy to make the hinges and I had some very clear and well made instructions too

[bbd468]

Looks great in place Brother Luigi! Very nice.

Gary

[wouter]

You'd never know the first one had gone missing! Now that's what I call the perfect case of forum collaboration.

[ogrejohn]

Excellent looking Luigi!

[bullardino]

Thanks all for the kind comments

First of all a tribute to Dicky's scratchbuilding talent:

I gave the new bonnet some CM, now I left it to dry. Tomorrow it'll be filter time.

On the rest of the YA, I followed the plan adding dirt to the cargo bed:

The seats and the sides need some more weathering, after that I'll call it done (cargo bed I mean)

As always ACW

[danb.]

Love those details, it's all in the details. Things that are right there in the open but only seen in the minds eye and that's what makes a killer build.

[bullardino]

Hey Dan, thanks a lot for stopping by It's a little nice donkey and the kit screams for details and weathering

Tony, I agree. Thank you and the other talented modelers around here I'm learning how to see those details.

Thanks for the kind lie

[Leon]

[fightnjoe]

[bullardino]

Leon and Joe, thanks a lot

[sfcmikej]

Luigi,

The cargo bed is exquisite. Looks like the deuce and a halfs in my battalion after a few supply runs in the field.
