Ma journée a été horrible!

[Gunbird]

Translator Team transport, Zwartwater



Finished the transport for my 4 man Translator Team. Wanted to give them something with local flavour and not an armoured car, so took my alltime favorite, the Britannia Beetle and used that. Added a skibox and extra headlights for looks. I don't think the team will be quite happy driving this rickety thing, but at least they blend in more











Skibox is custom made, extra headlights come off a truck kit, Beetle is converted stock model from Britannia/Grubby Tanks. Decals letters are from I-94, licence plates from a Leopard 1 kit I think. The text in the picture means My day is a bad day (though not 100% if I spelled that right)

You are a cruel man, Wayswatcher.

It's more simply "My day was horrible"...

It's an awesomely rusty looking pile of junk, I'm in awe, well done.

Awesome.
Very realistic rust.

The Belgian flag license plates however are reserved for the vehicles of the Belgian Army and in my service time (1989) their civilian vehicles were almost all painted black. Although, I must say, I don't know if they use those plates abroad for diplomats.

I just grabbed the first sets of plates I could find mate  For a game like this, (historical) accuracy isn't the focus. But I didn't know that, black painted vehicles. I learn something new every day.

But I didn't know that, black painted vehicles. I learn something new every day.

Only the civilian types, mind you. The real military vehicles (Yes, those antiquities that needed maintenance most of the time) we had are all in NATO green. (bronzegreen ?)

That's great, I really like the way you did the diffenret glasses and windows.

My mother had a near identical car. She called it 'Hitler's Revenge'.

Very nice work and whilst clearly intentional in this instance it confirms my view that the jewelled headlight thing really gives cars a Herby the Lovebug look.

Lovely paint job. 
I'm impressed by the weathering and the windows especially.

[Rob_bresnen]

I like what you have done there. The rust is good.

This civie vehical has obviously been borrowed or bought locally, as it is such a wreck- that's why it is not black.

Lovely work.
