The is the model now, it appears how I stopped working on it years ago. A brief summary...
I have assembled the frame, minus the exhaust, steering linkage and the various small details. I will be adding weld beads and various cables as per references. I want to turn the front wheels but have not yet figured out how to do that. The wheels are similar in pattern to pretty much _every_ other WW2 German wheeled kit (first seen on the Sd.Kfz.222 I believe) they're nice. I flattened the bottom ever so slightly so the model "sits" better.
The body have bee assembled minus the interior details and door.
In order to simulate the "fragility" of a soft skin vehicle, I have separated the bonnet and thinned out the front fenders. This was quite time consuming. The bonnet can now be fixed back into place slightly askew, which really looks good. And the fenders can be realistically dented up. Now since the fenders are thin, paper thin almost, dents that I add to the top will "bulge" in from below.
That's about where I'm at. See the close up photos from more details. |
