Renault UE German Scout ~ Mirage (35307)

[David Madsen]

Thanks Tim.

Here is some more work on the Scout Car, put on decals, paint chipped with XF-63 German Gray on a sponge which I think came out too heavy. Next time I will use enamel paints, Tamiya dries too fast on the sponge I think. Also gave it an oil wash with Umber.

My dad was a mechanic in the French army during the second world war and he could (allegedly) take these to pieces and put them back in running order with a blindfold on.
I never really believed him yet part of the story hadda be true.
Good jopb on this "customized" Renault UE.

Those MGs look so much better than the old ones. Makes a big difference. Looks like you have the hardest part of the builds ahead of you, the tracks. Enjoy. Good Job.

Thanks Laurent for sharing about your father and thanks all for the comments. I think I have her pretty much finished up.

[Dario Risso]

Simply beatiful, David!

Nice, couple of suggestions for future ref: 1. drill out gun barrels, they look so much nicer. 2. replace thick plastic grab handles with ones made from wire, again they look so much better. Now that your done with this one lets see that other one finished up. Looks good.

So I had more pictures of the progress of my 28cm rocket renault but seemed to have deleted them while at the Kansas City Competition, so I just have the current stage of it...oh well. Have what little decals it had applied and the rocket boxes assembled. Scored in some wood grain as well. Painted them with a desert yellow and a red oil paint wash. Next step is future coat and then umber oil wash.....and tracks. *sigh*
