Greek army Heavy tractor Oshkosh

[Raw_Shooter]

 Hello my friends 
for a long time I was trying to find this Hobby Fan's kit to make it like greek's army....Last September I found it and I wanted to prepare it for Pegaso's Show Model....


After I have primed it with Hycote I made a preshading by gloss black and then I used XF-65 Field Grey for basic color; Next I mixed XF-65 with UA 213 Grigio verde chiaro for the panels' center area...

Next step was dusting all low parts with XF-57 Buff and a wash by Raw Umber; Finally a hand of MIG filter Ochre for Grey Sand to weathering all the panels 

After 3-4 days I use my airbrush to spray a very thin mix of XF-65 + just few drops of Olive Drub all the vehicle and when everything was dry I use a mini sponge (women use them for make-up) with Tamiya's cassette "B" Shoot color to reproduce the oil + dust dirts

After all these I started gluing all the rest of accessories....


all the tractors they have a "horse shoe" where engage the trailers; There the drivers put a lot of lubricate pasta


and finally the tractor was ready.....


and a comparison  between the old U.S.A. army Oshkosh (the greek one) and the new one

The model kit won the silver medal to Master class fight vehicles.....

[Raw_Shooter]

  this isn't my most expensive model    First is Accourate's U-Boat 1/35 (2500 euros) and second my 2 Doras 1/35 (580 euros each)

MAMAMIAAAA
Then you will be on the top of our list
This 2500E U-bot can actualy be submerged??? What are you? Onazis junior??

[Raw_Shooter]

  No the U-boat can't be submerged it's too heavy so if I put into the water it'll be submerged for only 1 time an it's over     "Onassis junior"  no my friend I collect model kits since I was 9 years old and now I have about 3500 boxes...as you understand now I am looking for "special" items like the new Italeri's S-boat (if you want I can prepare you a mini preview of all these kits  )

This situation of yours is not so strange to me. Our club president "draki" has a similar number of models in his colection.
But all of them are 1/72 scale. He also looks for some "special" items.

(if you want I can prepare you a mini preview of all these kits  )

Good idea. Please prepare a mini preview. Sometimes when I purchase some expensive model I have filing that I am crazy. Than I usualy visit my friend "draki", I take a look on his vast colection and then I am OK. When you post a picturs of yours colection I will feal eaven better.

Milten my friend when I find exactly "where" to post my lab's photo I'll do it    Really when you'll come again to Thessaloniki come to my lab for a coffee    (you = means all of you  )
As my Serbian language isn't good (I don't understand all the phrases I mean  ) and I keep trying understand whole forum; when I found the right "place" (theme) I post some previews 

[milten]

Our forum is very much alike Greek forum http://www.modelclub.gr/
I know because I have my profile there...
You can post in "universal" modeler theme. ( first link from the top)
I can translate for you which link is for what, if you want.
I (We) are coming to Thessaloniki next year on the next model show.
Maybe someone will come during summer on summer holiday in Greece.
