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

Re: Daimler Dingo Mk Ia
These are so neat! I still have the Tamiya one I did many moons ago! Can't wait to see it finished!

Re: Daimler Dingo Mk Ia
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.

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.

Re: Daimler Dingo Mk Ia
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.

Re: Daimler Dingo Mk Ia
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

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
