'Play Dirty' movie truck

Heng Long/WPL are now manufacturing 1/16 scale RC trucks, so it seemed sensible to create a forum area dedicated to the amazing things that members are doing with them. Post your builds, mods, and tips here.

That’s brilliant Baldrick !!
Turned out precisely to the one in the movie,
Seems pretty rugged too so no breakages during use, apart from the bonnet ornament!
I also like the shade of yellow. I have used the Africa Corps Tami paint on my Pz4 and while it did seem to change shade depending on the ambient light, it always seemed too dark .
And the chipping is marvelous :clap:
Great job.

Your movie truck is turning out so cool! (or is it DAK hot?) The desert weathering and paint chipping is just topping off a masterpiece!

Thank you for the compliments gents. That damned emblem is now not glued in place and will be put in a safe once I've finished taking photos.

I'm not up to the standard of some here, but I did increase my skills and hopefully I can employ it to finish off my tanks. This pic of 'Rotowaro' is one of a few I used as references where I realised how much you need to modulate the colours compared to the out-of-the bottle colours. The horizontal surfaces are almost white!

That's the effect that I am after on my Lrdg truck build Estnische :D at present I've only given it a base coat of desert light sand, I'll follow it up with the darker tones next and then some chipping/weathering :thumbup:

Cheers,Lee.

Looks great! I love models of "movie vehicles" even if they are not historicaly accurate (like Oddball's Sherman or tank from Indiana Jones) :)

Thank you guys! Making these movie vehicles gives you a better opportunity to study the life-sized vehicle.
