Steven Van DyckFor this moment I glued a lot of the components of the truck and made te Friulmodel tracks. Only the cabin has to be completed ans then it can be primered.

Frank KrauseNice start, Steven! 👍 Since I had the pleasure to build already one Maultier (Zvezda's) and one more to come, I will follow your progress with great interest.

Steven Van DyckThanks, Frank. I just checked out your own album for the Zvezda kit. You also used the Friuls. It turns out a great build with that Einheitsführerhaus on it. I knew the Pz2 track system was self-adjusting for the track pins, but I still failed to see why these two bars near the tracks were there... So I learned from your build. I can recommend some photo-etch if you would decide to build the other kit's loading platform opened, everything becomes articulated and it is a fun to build.

Steven Van DyckI used aceton to shorten the metal tracks to 102 links. That's 2 shorter than necessary, but it's the only way to get things thighter. I also sanded the removed radiator grille thin to get the Mercedes emblem out. That went smoother than I hoped for.

Steven Van DyckThe frame and loading platform were subsequently sprayed Chaos Red (Armypainter) and airbrushed Mr.Hobby Dunkelgelb.

Steven Van DyckWeathering wood and metal parts on this truck is quite fun. Once a wheel fell off, so I did some drilling to secure it back onto the axle. I've got plenty of objects to put in the flatbed.

Kim BrandersPrachtig. Vraagje: Wanneer plak je je raampjes in en met welke lijm doet U dat??? Groeten Kim.

Steven Van DyckHoi Kim. Bedankt. Ik heb alle raampjes die er in komen, geplakt. Dit is gebeurd nadat het interieur geschilderd is, zodat de raamstijlen ook gekleurd zijn binnenin het glaswerk. De lijm hiervoor is Micro Crystal Klear. De voorruit moest wel met knijpertjes op zijn plek gehouden worden tot het droog was, en ze zit rechts net niet helemaal op haar plek, maar er is gelukkig geen kier.

Kim Branders@ Steven: Ik ben Micro Crystal Clear gaan halen, zal het uitproberen in het weekend. Bedankt voor de tip.

Matthias WeissWhat is a "polyglottal"? 🙁
Is it something to eat?
I could swear I've read this recently on one of those horribly wrong translated menues here....
🙂 🙂 🙂

Steven Van DyckThe tracks are put on and some people are trying the suspension.

Matthias WeissAha.... 🙂
Anyway, very good work on the Maultier. Which paints did you use?
24 October 2014, 02:19
Steven Van DyckThanks. Matthias, it means using many languages. Paints are airbrushed on Armypainter "chaos red" (causing a bit of orange peel effect occasionally) and are Gunze dark Yellow, Red Brown and for the green Vallejo Air "light camo green". A Mo-Lak based rust filter for the cab and aging of the wood with Vallejo Air "light camo brown" and Vallejo Deck Blue for chipping.

Steven Van DyckThe windscreen has been masked and lightly airbrushed Deck Tan, resulting in a barely visible haze.
