1/48 Tamiya Komatsu Experiment

[keavdog]

I saw a review of this kit and thought it was a cool little addition to the stash. Tiny parts count, simple assembly so I thought I'd try something new. I tried the MIG civil engines and civil vehicles sets. This little tractor started out IJN grey and I clearly went heavy on the beat up rusted vehicle theme. The pigments and wash are really great. Not sure what I will end up doing with this little tractor - maybe put it in a diorama with a destroyed zero. But I will say... the MIG stuff collectively is fun to apply. Anyhow... here’s my rusted out Komatsu. Lot's to learn here for sure.


After a little pin wash

I saw this thread and said what is John doing in the armor section.
Building a cool little dozer that's what
Nicely done

Yes... an “after the battle” setting years later. A wrecked aircraft and the derelict dozer. Perhaps some rotting crates and rusting drums... and the jungle coming back to reclaim it all...

Very nice work. That’s one I want to add to my collection.

Ha - ya Johnny, a bit out of my element but such a fun little weekend kit and I wanted to experiment with the MIG stuff.
Ya stick - I'll mess up a zero and throw a bunch of jungle around it and call it a National Geographic discovery pic...lol
