IBG 1/35 Bedford QLD

Hanger2 · Post by **Hanger2** » Mon Mar 24, 2014 12:29 am

This is my latest project.

I have alway liked this lorry after seeing them going past the end of our road, as a nipper in Newbury, on their way to Southampton Docks to be shipped out for the Suez Crisis.

Here are some of the parts and made up modules, some painted and some still in primer.

One of the under slung racks holds 3 jerrycans, these are not in the kit but from the spares box.

Engine and rad fitted, shame you can only see the sump off the engine after the cab has been fitted.

The cab has quite nice details.

All parts painted, pin-washed and dry-brushed awaiting to dry before assembling.

Cargo compartment load of boxes and tarps from Value Gear Details and the 2 drum from the spares box.

Load as will be seen once rear module fitted

Cab assembled and map on passengers seat and pinup on rear bulkhead.

Views of the nearly finish QLD, pigments added for the mud weathering, the rest will be added once it is on its dio base.

Just the mirrors to fit and the Bridge weight number to the yellow disc, then to start on the dio base.

Looks great, loving the paintwork.

Am VERY curious as to how you got the black/green camo looking the way it does as I soon plan to do a 10HP utility car in the same colours. Was it JUST dry brushing over black?

That is stellar work!!!
Holy cow!
First rate work buddy! I love the pin up girl in the back. That's a nice touch!

Superb work thd build and weathering is spot on

Hanger2 · Post by **Hanger2** » Tue Mar 25, 2014 2:52 pm

Many thanks all of you.

UKSM, I added Dark Prussian Blue to German Grey, Vallejo Model Colors, I very rarely use Black, to get the Tarmac colour and then dry-brushed with Artist's Oils but instead of my normal white I have been using Naples Yellow after a recommendation from another modeller I met at Yeovilton Model Show, and I am really pleased with the result.

Wow the camo is fantastic. The overall effect is brilliant. How did it go together?

Hanger2 · Post by **Hanger2** » Wed Mar 26, 2014 7:51 am

Thanks moi and Paul, it went together well, no flash but just mould lines to clean up, the instructions are not the best as the drawings are very dark but with dry fitting I managed.

Looking great!!

Very nice model.
The pinup picture is a very nice touch.

Great paint job. Superb mud!

cheers

Many thanks hansolo, it was an enjoyable built, I am slowly progressing with the dio base for it now and getting into stuff I haven't attempted before in a dio.

Fantastic work as always Geoff.... I do love to see your builds. The weathering is so spot on.. What have you used to represent the dried mud and spray in the arches and flaps, and around the jerry cans?? It looks excellent. The tyres are spot on too!! Well done sir...

Looking forward to another superbly built and detailed diorama.
Will you be displaying this and your other recent builds down at the Tank Museum??
Take care and as always, Happy Modelling mate..

I just love the look of this truck. The cargo goods look fantastic too.

Hanger2 · Post by **Hanger2** » Fri Mar 28, 2014 4:47 pm

Thanks Andy and tiking

The mud, etc is all MiG products, 3 different shades of pigments mixed with a bit of wall filler and then mixed with MiG acrylic resin for pigments, this is the dabbed in the places you want it to give rough relief, when dry I added dry lighter coloured pigments into the corners and ledges followed by white spirit carefully applied with a thin brush to soak the pigment, do not move the brush or pigment about as it needs to stay in the required spot, repeat to all the dry pigment areas. Leave to dry and if more needs to be applied, repeat method.

Thanks Chris, have a go there are plenty out there.

Geoff

Hanger2 · Post by **Hanger2** » Sat Mar 29, 2014 12:34 pm

Started on the base layout, a few stowage items from Value Gear and some figures in place.

This base will have a camo net covering suspended on poles and crossmembers for about two thirds of it, but can be viewed from the sides.

The unpainted figure leaning against the lorry tailboard is a resin SKP one, which I have now painted.

The stowage that goes on the ground has also been painted, etc

I have covered the base board with DAS and waiting for it to dry before I continue.

Thanks Guppy, just need one more, a Sgt figure just about to give them all a rocket for loafing about.

I really like that Geoff, really nice work

I might have to get myself one of those kits, I really enjoyed building the last couple of land vehicles and they make a nice change from aircraft

Hanger2 · Post by **Hanger2** » Thu Apr 03, 2014 5:45 pm

Thanks Mark,

It was like me when I won that 1/48 Army Lynx helicopter, it made a real change to make it.

I have been making steady progress with this, but have had other things going on so have been unable to spend time posting.

This is the Senior NCO figure I waited to give the squaddies a rocket for slacking. It's made by Hornet and in white metal, I have done him as a WO2.

The camo netting framework erected on the DAS modelling clay covered base.

Camo netting in place, I used surgical gauze painted with 3 coats of dilute PVA and painted in an acrylic green mix. The camo ribbons are cut from toilet paper and fixed on with dilute PVA.

These are the bulk stores which are covered in strong hand wipe paper. these are the white poly lumps in the above pic. They were coated with neat PVA, then the paper applied while still wet, then folded in place and coated in dilute PVA a couple of times.

Then they were primed and painted a tarp green colour, both slightly different, pin-washed in oil wash then dry-brushed

Hanger2 · Post by **Hanger2** » Fri May 16, 2014 5:38 pm

Stores glued in place and other bits and figures in general positions

Other stores fixed, also figures, mugs of tea added as are the wads (sandwiches), these are made of card and the well worn greaseproof paper is made from Rizla cigarette rolling paper, painted and then when dry crunched up

WO2 waiting to give the guys a rocket

All glued in place, base given a couple of dusting of pigments

A bit more to add at the front as it looks a bit bare, but that's it for now

Finishing touches, I have added a few Value Gear Details Lorry Loads to the area at the front which looked bare, these come in one blob and are really good

A bit of dusting with MiG pigments and some engine oil stains on the ground

And it's all finished. I display it at show on a turntable as there is interest all around the dio.

Geoff

Coen · Post by **Coen** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 8:27 am

Fantastic finish Geoff...

It was looking excellent before, but you have added little details and extras to complete the scene..

Well done Sir...

Many thanks Andy, I just found there was something missing in the fronts areas and when Steve from Value Gear sent me some of his lorry loads I found they were just the ticket.
