Mickey, Allied armored walker from Dust

Posted by

Spurticus Rex –

These are shots of one of my latest works, its an armoured walker known as a Mickey (yeah, crap name I know).
Its from Paolo Parente's DUST series and is the first allied walker they've done.
The kit is resin and consists of about 40 parts that come seperately in a vac-form holder, they've cut all the moulding gates off and basically all you have to do is assemble and paint it.
I added the rack at the rear and modified the gun a bit just to beef it up, the figure is a miniart figure from their British tank crew set, I had already decided to do it as British, it was meant to be US army but olive drab can be boring.
I painted it in flames of war British armour spray and did the 1942 cammo in NATO black.
The weathering is done in a mixture of oils and tamiya weathering powders.
The base was done using tamiya textured paint as the inital base then I coated it with tea leaves as rotted leaf litter, I then topped it off with leaves from tree-mendus, and here it is.
Hope you like it.

Nice!
