Chapter 11 - Main Hull: Ready for paint
This segment was actually quite fun and satisfying. Like the stowage strips along the side, I decided to scratch build the stowage rack on the starboard side fender. I understand now the urge to scratch things rather than buy them. The end result may not be perfect, but it's all my own work rather than something I bought. Since I have no photos of the front of Bacchus, I took a bit of artistic license and added the stowage bar across the front of the transmission housing in order to further pack stowage onto the hull.
This hull is based on the Tamiya M4 hull, though much nicer. However, it's also designed to take the Tamiya style tools and other mountings. This meant I had to go and fill in all the locating dimples for the pioneer tools as well as the taillight mounts. Since I plan on a maintenance diorama, I used the Eduard PE set for the Tamiya M4 to put the empty mounting straps and brackets onto the hull.
The headlights I bought from Formations newly released headlight set (Great set, awesome price) but most of the other hull fittings came from the spares box, including the brass head and taillight guards.
As you can also see, it's prepped for paint as well. The driver and co-driver hatches are simply stuffed with bits of napkins. The holes for the turret and engine are stuffed full as well, but some thin cardboard is slipped on top to further guarantee that paint only goes where I want it to.
Next step, the base coat, then suspension |
