Dobleside Diorama Merkava

One Side Israel and behind the wall palestine, start with the dobleside diorama, the wall was made from plaster and a mould from LEGO bricks, the color is stone grey with black preshading. The sand on Palestine side is from NOCH and glued with water and white wood glue, the Israeli side will be made in different technique, the Merkava tank need also more weathering at the lower side, at moment looks still to smooth, let´s have a look wenn the ground will be made I take care about the wheels and the skirt.






Chassis Panzergrau

Brushed today the chassis in Panzergrau, using since some months from time to time the Revell Aqua colors, close to my home I have a dealer where all of them are available. The mix is 50:50 with the Airbrush and the result is always good, fine surface and fast drying out and the price is good.


Chassis Sd.Kfz 222

Finished basic built from chassis, it took some work to put everything together, the Chassis was called „Einheitsfahrgestell I“ and a Horch Engine from Type 801 was mounted. The type A  had 75 PS and was used from 1936-1939,  the B variant 90 PS and used from 1940-1943.
The kit engine is nice detailed, from the engine 75% will be covered what a pity!
Chassis was brushed with Grey Primer from MIG.
Next Steps are Basic color like hull red or dark grey for pre shading will be brushed.
