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

[spud]

Fantastic Luigi really looking the part now

[wbill76]

Very nice Luigi! Still going to be plenty to see through the cab doors when all said and done.

[bullardino]

Mence, Mike and Spud thanks a lot for the positive comments

Dicky, I don't think it was designed by Giugiaro or Pininfarina

I love russian design, maybe I'm crazy

Bill, I'm going to leave driver's door open, as he will be out watching with his binoculars in search for something. There will be also a map and some kind of gun on the passenger seat, and possibly some other personal items to add life to it.

Luigi , good looking progress ! Good idea to leave the doors open so all the detail can be seen inside of the "garden shed" ;D

[tonylee-Rest In Peace]

That looks like a Mack truck front cap. ;D
All it needs is the bull dog sitting up there.

Keep it coming Bull

Lovely work the Luigi!! Making some nice progress!!

[bullardino]

Carl, I have a small vignette in my head that I'm hoping to get done. All I need is one of the new figures from tank, the rest I should be able to make it from scratch.

Tony, I think it looks more like a garden shed, as Carl said

Joe and Todd, thank you very much, very kind

Finally some progress on this tractor.

I still have a little to do, but paint time is getting close

As always ACW

I'm liking the look of this big boy Lui . All kinds of stowage can be put back there .
;D

[wbill76]

Any progress is good progress Luigi! Looking good, stowage in the back gives it a nice 'in use' feel.

[fightnjoe]

amazing to me how in progress pictures look so much better than my finished pictures.

great work luigi. looks awesome.

Lui , missed this b4 , i'm looking forward to seeing the vinette . Sounds interesting . ;D

Hi bullardino!
Nice little tractor. The seats are superb
I'd use some string instead of the copper wire for the handles of the boxes.

[bullardino]

Carl, Bill, Joe, ER, Mark and Mokush, thanks for stopping by

That's what I'm trying to show, Bill. And that's why I won't put the tarp on.

Don't expect it to be inside my head, though.

My idea is to depict the tractor stopped on a slight slope with driver's door open and the driver standing by its side looking through his binoculars. The scene should be set in the early spring 1944, with muddy roads and some little remnants of snow.

I'd use some string instead of the copper wire for the handles of the boxes.

Unfortunately the wire is firmly glued to the box and bent on the inside, so it's almost impossible to remove it.

I'm wondering of redoing all the payload or to partly cover it with a tarp, to hide all its faults. It's the first time I build boxes and rolled tarps and that's easy to see

[wouter]

Nice progress indeed. Love that stowage!

Cheers

[bullardino]

Thanks a lot, Wouts

[Momcha]

Looks great m8

Momcha

[bullardino]

Thank you, Momcha

As I was telling you on FB, if this will turn out half as good as yours I'll be very happy

[hasenpfeffer]

Hey bullardino - that is some very impressive work! I am finding this thread very interesting, lots 'o' tips, etc. I've gotta check out Carl's SBS for seats now... And I've been interested in branching out some with kit manufacturer's. Looks like Miniart has some pretty fine kits.

[bullardino]

Thanks a lot Hasenpfeffer

Carl's SBS on the seats is a revelation. It helped me a lot.
