Diamond Reo Australian Army spec

This is coming along Deano! Paint looks good.

Thanks for the kind words gents. I've just about got it done. Need to do 1 marking plate for the front, tried to paint the little kangaroo symbol myself but it was less than successful so I'm going to ask Bearycrafty to have a go for me. Once that's on, a last little bit of weathering, washes and I think it will be there.

I wasn't happy with how the paint on the air cleaner hat came up so it's off for a repaint.



This shot reminds me that I need to finish of the jerry cans to go in the holders behind the cab.


I started to do a little dirtying up of the chassis before i started the final assembly. Backs of the wheels, underside of guards etc, staining the tyres. Thought about trying some pigments for a little texture to the mud but think I'll stick to road spray from running on hard packed gravel roads.

WOW! Just wow, that is amazing. Beautifully built!
