2 trucks

Here is 2 small truck that I hope to soon build up,one is a 1/76 scale coe bedford by JB models the other is a ITALERI 1/35 scale chev blitz.Ya both small one's

The blitz will be built on a dirama,it will be very weathered.

Good choices Allen. Is the Bedford one of the clear cab jobs? I've been tempted to buy one of those Chevs and convert it to the Ford Blitz pattern.

Ya steve Bedford has clear cab,going to be hard to mask up to paint it,I have seen a ford blitz truck kit some were.

new photo of blitz,painted it Humbrol enamel matt olive green(33),thined with auto GP thinners,it made the enamel dry quicker,will be useing dry pastels on it to help with the weathering of it.

2 photos of blitz floor with dry pastel powered on the floor, to give it rusty look.

new photo cab floor has coat of fix it on it to hold pastel in place

been working on the cab,will post photos later.

Here is 3 photos of cab,

nice weathering.. good stuff

Looks good so far

thank's guys,its starting to look like a old work horse,will be doing bit more today on it.

Good weathering.
Interesting builds...

Thank's Brian ya they are,with the Biltz wanted to build it as old truck as there are a few around in paddocks here.

Nice weathering,very realistic. What colour pastel did you use and when you say, "A coat of fix to hold the pastel in place" What is "fix" is it a clear coat?

clutch here is photos of pastels and fixative that I used on the Blitz,have 2 sets of pastels one is earth tones the other is grey tones,forgot there name u can get them from art supply shops,the fixative also comes from art supply shops,it used for fixing pencil,pastel,chalk, charcoal,on paper,u have to be carefull when useing pastel that u don't mix what is called mud if u do just wash of and go again,with fixative frist put on a dust coat untill u seal pastel, then u can put heavy coat on,if u loss the pastel with fixative ,just put more on,it workable matt.Don't buy gloss. hope that helps u,its the frist time that I have used it so far it worked OK.in the pastel sets there is 12 colours.

also u can use any dry pastel colour,not oil pastels,forgot to post about infor earlyer.

found pastel brand name they are Alphacolor.

Hey thanks Allan for the info, I'll check out the art shop. Sounds pretty easy to use and looks great.

the brand of pastel that I used are Mungyo gallery,one set is 12 grey tones the other are 12 earth tones.
