Airfix Scammel Tank Transporter

 Hello There. It is now the New Year and I hope you all had a nice holiday. Unfortunately we are now in another lockdown which this time has a very uncertain ending. With the pandemic now out of control in this country we are now back to our homes and finding ways of  keeping ourselves occupied.

I have started doing some 'extra' shifts at the hospital I work at, so posting on here maybe a little more random and infrequent but I do have a number of painting jobs coming to fruition which will appear on this blog.

First is an example of the Airfix Scammel tank transporter painted in desert colours. It is intended for use in the desert tank recovery game I have been working on for a while.






The models are glued to a 0.8mm plywood base which has magnabase underneath. Each wheel has a piece of coffee stirrer under it so the wheels do not appear to be sinking into the sand. The base then has a layer of tile adhesive with PVA, stones, gravel and sand. A paint, wash and dry brush and we are all done.
