Daimler Dingo Mk Ia

[Vlad Seabrook-Smith]

As for the colour...just boring sand. Also figures wearing sand coloured uniforms. And a diorama base...with more sand.

These are so neat! I still have the Tamiya one I did many moons ago! Can't wait to see it finished!

[Philipp Gross]

Thanks Mark!

Yes, it's a nice little kit, even though there are a few parts that could be made better...

Speaking of which, I had to attach 8 small triangular PE brackets to the suspension before I could continue with the fenders. Of course, now you barely see them anymore......

Here we are right now:



The small storage box on the front has gaps that need generous amounts of putty, I still have to clean that up once it's dry.

It looks like a great little kit there Philipp.

Nice clean build.

[Philipp Gross]

Thanks Shawn!

It's a nice kit, once you've figured out how to handle it. If I ever build a second one it should be done much faster...

Construction so far is mostly complete with only a few etch pieces missing. I'll post some pictures later today once I get back home. I also got a nice resin figure to accompany it.

Nice work. I made one of these a while back and finished it as one abandoned on the beach at Dieppe. Thoroughly enjoyable build. I also have another in the stash to build at some stage.

Look forward to seeing some more pics Philipp.

To my surprise, assembly is complete:




My plan is to have the Dingo stuck in a dune and abandoned by its original owners. As for the figures, I had several scenarios in mind....and then I found this fellow, made by Warriors:


I preferr to call him the "great white hunter"....he even has a double barrel hunting rifle. He was probably disappointed that almost all the big game in North Africa was already hunted to extinction by the Romans

Assembled:

Nice little build there Philipp......

[Philipp Gross]

Good to hear from you again Frerik!

Paint will follow soon. I've decided to paint the interior in SCC2, mostly as a test for my Valentine
