Bedford Tipper Truck (Emhar 1/24)

[Pavel A.]

Here I decide to start some new kit from my supplies. The last from group of Bedford Bros. A small tipper lays on the table now. I sanded a few parts for start. Here are some photos.

Looks like a nice kit.  Do things go together well?

[GeeBee]

Nice start .....

[Pavel A.]

Yes, everything go together well. Any problems. And this is my fourth...

Looks like a beautiful kit, and very clean work you're doing.

       Pavel,

                Looks like you are off to a good start on this one. I am interested in these kits, as they are a bit different from what I normally build.

Here is some little paintjob, on some parts. Black is nitro base, red is magma red from nissan (nitro), green is from ford (nitro) and blue is from mr.hobby GX5 (Midnight blue. Without 2k clearcoat, yet.

Looking really nice, Pavel.  I really am tempted to try one of these kits.  I really like the tipper (how British!).  Didn't you build one of these Bedfords already?

[Pavel A.]

I built 3 already. Dropside Tipper, Tanker and Recovery Truck... this small Tipper will be last from Emhar collection. As I wrote, building of this kits are very good. Only one little thing... be carefull by assembling of front grill, hood and cabin. It needs more than one try...:)

[Atmobil]

Nice progress on this one. I got all of the kits myself so thank you very much for the tip on cab, hood grille fitment

Thanx... morning will be some update. Under clearcoat....

[Pavel A.]

So, I have 2k clearcoat on it. I decide to try some new way (for me) of weathering, it is fading. For this way you will need normal (nothing special) oil colors and for thinnig I used Zippo gas. Be carefully, on which base color is your surface. Best is 2k because it is resistant against enamel, oil acrylics, so as lacquer colors or washes. Tthe principe of this is very simple. Make small points with various shades of colors, red, white, ochre, burnt sienna (very good rust), yellow, green, blue or another. Set of this colors is very cheap. After "pointmaking" you just wash colors down. Do not make some big pressure, let make brush its own work. nothing hard. try it before on some wreckparts. Be carefully - oil colors are long "live", it need more time to dry. Sometimes 3-4 days or more. My tip - take colors before pointmaking on paper napkin. Oil will be high reduced. Please try to look on photos. Paul.

Pavel, somehow I missed this topic. I really like your weathering technique and the results are very nice!

[Pavel A.]

Thanx guys. It will needs more work yet on the weathering.

[Superpeterbilt]

Super job so far Pavel. I'm very interested in that paint streaking technique. That is one of the coolest things I've seen. The truck looks great.
