Hello all.

Some months ago I got this kit and it was a long time considered to be build one day. The Sahariana is a strange vehicle used by Italian forces, but very effective.




Heres a little bit of history:

The kit has resine parts inside (engine) and even two figures and besides the instructions theres a booklet with brief history and original pictures of the vehicle.


The build itself makes no problems so far. It will be placed on a former wooden cigar box. I used wet kitchen paper here for the surface and chinchilla sand. And lots of haispray.

So there we are, the build will be continued of course.

An interesting subject used by the Italians during WW2. Looking forward to the finished product and diorama.

Hey I've got one of those! Sidelined... But I have the 47mm gun armed vehicle. It's a fun build actually...

I thinned white glue (VERY thin) and dipped the paper inside and build several layers. After that was done, I poured chinchilla sand over it and sealed it with lots of hairspray. It works especially when you want to build rocks. i think Im gonna add some small stones additionally here and there.

I improved the picture links in your opening post, Lucas.
