Ural 43203 - Finished pics pg5

[zenrat]

Well the truck is more or less done.
Some tiny delicate parts still need to be glued on but that's about it apart from some light weathering.
I do still need to paint the Hippies though.

Certainly stands out in a crowd 

Shouldn't it have some graffiti or slogans scrawled on the side ? Or is this the W.I. branch of the hippies/peacenic's ? 

[zenrat]

I'm going to weather it and am figuring out a way of scrawling things in the dirt.  In russian obviously...

Естественно товарищ.

[Rheged]

Slogans such as :-

сделать чай не войной

отменить капустный суп

or even:-

удержать вомбатов от луны

Hehehe, love 'em. 

Where would we be without Google Translate?

Glorrrious!! 
   

Man that's some choice paint work... I like that fade.

Slogans such as :-

удержать вомбатов от луны

Oi! Why don't you want me to be allowed to go to the moon?

The back story may place the girls somewhere in central europe so the graffiti might be along the lines of faire du thé pas la guerre, Kohlsuppe abschaffen or houd de wombats van de maan.

You are too valuable here on earth to risk in lunar adventures!!

OK, then! That I can understand!

This is truly Far Out.

Weathering is coming along nicely (It's tricky in this scale.  I don't know how The Chaos does it) although I still need to figure out a way to write graffiti on it.
And the girls are painted, just needing a coat of clear to seal everything in.

If you can go via the transfers/decals route might not that be a more praticable route ?

[zenrat]

I don't think decals will cut it as I want it to look like its written in dirt with a finger.
As I have been weathering it with heavily diluted acrylics i'm hoping I can use a toothpick dipped in thinners.
