Amfibiebil 101 WIP
Got some troubles with the windows, final weathering will cover it.
First layer was Gunze H58.
Masked all the areas which should stay bright green.
Next color, Gunze H310 for the light brown splinters.
...and masking them.
By spraying XF-1 the work was nearly done.
Last round of masking for the black areas.
Last color was Tamiya XF-13, for the rest of the splinter pattern and the chassis.
Started the weathering with some sprinkles of Tamiya xf-52.
MIG Dry Mud pigments were used for the dirtier areas.
First steps on the base, I will do a river or lake bank and grassland beside it.
The Amfibiebil is finished and ready to get in its place on the little base.
This will be its final position, entering a lake, somewhere in Sweden.
The soil was made of spray glue, sawdust and sand. Gras came from Martin Welberg - Scenic Studios, the branch is from an old boxwood.
Stil waiting for the water test to try, looks good so far.

Daniel MysakDanke, naja Spaß ist relativ, die 60 Teile der Wanne und des Fahrwerks waren eine ziemliche Qual, alles mit massiven Fischhäuten und teils groben Angüssen. ...aber jetzt läufts.😉

Mirko RömerIch habe schon ein paar Mal überlegt, ob ich das Ding erwerbe, denn meine zwei Unimog-Bausätze von ACE schauen prima aus, wenn auch etwas umständlich aufgeteilt. Sollte ich die schaffen, kommt der Stalwart. 🙂

Daniel Mysak@Mirko, schön zu hören, dass der Unimog besser aussieht, der reizt mich irgendwie auch noch.

Daniel MysakWeathering on the chassis and in the cabin is done, maybe I add some dust later.

Daniel MysakStarted with the windows today, first time for me with this type of film, but it works really fine.

Daniel MysakFinished the crane and the rims, the tires still need a flat coat and some weathering. The Stalwart is nearly ready for paint, only some little bits are missing.

gorbyExcellent work on one of my favourite military vehicles.
Only last week I bemoaning the lack of affordable Stalwart kits in 1/35. You might temp me to get one in 1/72 instead.

Daniel MysakThanks Lukasz, I´m glad it turned out well.
@gorbygould indeedit´s a shame that there are only the expensive resin kits in 1/35, but Stalwarts are rare in all scales. Neither Airfix did one of this iconic british trucks.

David Taylorlots of variants of this truck.AA do them in 35th but are not cheap.

Łukasz GlińskiI started to wonder on which side the steering wheel is, but I see the Stalwart's designers were smarter 😄

gorbyThe 1/35 Accurate Armour models look fantastic, but £110 is well past my budget. 🙁
The Alvis factory used to be quite close to where I lived, so we would see these amazing things trundling around the streets quite frequently in Coventry. Which is probably why I've got a bit of a thing for them.

Dave FlittonLooking real good. I have one of these in the stash, hope it builds as well as yours
12 February 2021, 03:06
Daniel Mysak@Dave Flitton, I´m sure it will, at the end it´s a nice little kit. Of course it needs some special attention in a few areas but it´s not bad at all.

Daniel MysakStarted the final painting today, first was a layer of Gunze H58 for the bright green parts.
13 February 2021, 22:34
Daniel MysakCamouflage is finished, next steps will be clear coat and weathering.
15 February 2021, 17:57
Daniel Mysak@Zsolt Czegle, danke, ja, bin auch schon gespannt wie der Stalwart am Ende wirkt, muß mir noch Gedanken über eine passende Base machen.
16 February 2021, 17:23
Daniel Mysak@David Taylor, you're absolutely right, it´s a completely different look for the Stalwart. I also like the british camouflage pattern, may I build my second one in black and green.
16 February 2021, 17:25
Daniel MysakSome progress with the weathering, I added some more dust useing Tamiya xf-52.

David TaylorIf its running you will have to have the exhaust glowing hot.Magnet for missiles.

Daniel MysakInteresting fact. Let's pretend, mine was just started a minute before. 😉
9 March 2021, 17:21
Daniel MysakThanks Mirko, I´m glad it turned out that well. Was my first time with such heavy weathering on a modell.
11 March 2021, 20:07
