Panzerspähwagen M8(a)

[Philipp Gross]

Thanks Shawn, thanks Rob!

I agree, it has a few features we know from German armoured cars, especially compared to the Staghound or British vehicles.

Also, apologies for the lack of progress. Must be the wonderful German phenomenon called Frühjahrsmüdigkeit...

Surprise! Finished the driver figure!




Please laugh at my egregious attempt at painting a swamp camo pattern, as well as macro photography at 11 PM:

Thanks gents! Having a big pile of figure parts to frankenstein something together has its advantages

Now that I can finally put on the roof I'll be starting the weathering process. First a wash, then quite a lot of dirt around the running gear. And then a small diorama base, probably some sort of forest road. With more dirt.

Just noticed something - easy fix. The pick blade itself is steel but you should paint the centre locating post OD..
