FINISHED - Scammell Pioneer SV2S Heavy Breakdown Tractor - IBG Models - 1:35 Scale

[CDW]

The roof of the cab covers up the interior details for the most part.

 

Recently, there have been some interesting releases of military construction equipment. I've acquired a few for future projects.

If you mean cab interior of the Scammell, those are the butt ends of a rifle rack. Rifles are yet to be added, under construction/painting.

[CDW]

And just like that, the cup holders were filled. 😃

You mean they don't store them across the back windows like a Redneck pickup?

No joking, when I was in high school, there were boys who drove pickup trucks to school with shotguns hanging in their back windows. 😄 Saw it many times.

Mass shootings were unheard of, and no one gave it a second thought.

Harking back to a much simpler/less confusing time.....

We not only had that, except it was more .22s than shotguns. To go even further into the realm of shock. We has both archery and rifle safety taught AT SCHOOL in high school! There was a rifle/archery range behind the football field. Like you said seeing rifles in cars or trucks parked at the school while not common also didn't raise any alarm either. Even though I didn't have any guns back then, I did carry a folding pocket knife throughout my childhood, (Still do).

With us it was the local Boys Club that had an indoor .22 range, you would have to wait for two hours for your turn, get in line that would circle the room on shooting night...

Hundreds of 10-14 year olds learning to shoot straight...... (and handle weapons responsibly)

you mean the Ez Rider Rifle Rack    got my hunter's safety course at school too

[CDW]

Will need to install windows before the top can be glued down. Next, will finish up the painting of the tires, install them and the front fenders.

Dark and foreboding truck my friend...  nice work....

 

Would you mind if I make a suggestion? reverse the tires, the treads are pointed the wrong way... I"m sure there were times where a tire got mounted backwards, but not all six of them....

I don't mind if you make a suggestion...too late. They are glued down and will probably destroy it trying to remove them. 

The good news is, at least one other online build has them mounted in the same direction as mine. 😂

 

Interesting if you look...the box art has the front tires mounted same as I have them.

And if you go to the :31 second mark of this video, it appears the rear tires are mounted as mine are as well...so I don't know. Flip a coin.

Need to find something suitable for cable, to rig the winch and boom. In the home stretch now.

Oh c'mon....nothing wrong at all about saying something about the tires. Nothing to feel bad about at all.

If you are following something I build, I always want to hear comments from those watching, particularly if you think there is something I can do to make the model better.

No offense taken and I hope you always feel free to make suggestions.

CDW,

That second picture down is perfect.  Well lit and able to see the details.  I hope you'll take a few more with that lighting.

I took that photo with a flash.

Here, I used the same photos and adjusted the light in photo editor. Do these look any better?

 

[Old Collingwood]

I love the camo affect   - how did you get the demarcation soft  between the two colours?

Thanks guys.

It's done freehand with an airbrush. You get your paint thinned down at something like a 3 parts paint to 7 parts thinner. Then you turn down your air pressure to around 12 - 14 lbs. and make light use of the airbrush trigger.

After the "finished" photos were taken, realized the windshield wipers have not been added yet. I'll add them after these photos are published. Have not decided for sure, but may do a diorama with this recovery vehicle and a tank. Going to think it over and see what I can come up with.

I say we take it for a spin - looks real enough.

You drive, and I'll ride shotgun.

You guys need to find a good muddy road like in the second video. This rig is WAY to clean. 

 

Another fantastic build Craig. Looking forward to what tank you choose to rescue.

We can dirty it up in a diorama. Anything I do now might not match the diorama terrain. 

Since this version is part of the Normandy 1944 campaign, need to do something that fits this time frame. I have a Stuart light tank, but not sure it was used at Normandy. Maybe a Sherman.
