Feldgendarmerie im Einsatz

[TeeAge]

As the BA-10 was on the market again, I didn’t hesitate to buy one.
Got the Masterclub tires and som Star Decals for the car in service with the Feldgendarmerie (Kettenhunde) somewhere in East Europe.
I got some ideas and the postman got busy.
The next products are going to be used:
BA-10 (Hobby Boss) with the resin wheels (Masterclub), a pe set (Voyager) and a Star Decals set.
The Panhard 178 (Pzkfw 204(f) (Dragon) is on it’s way.
A Zündapp KS 750 (Great Wall Hobby) with som plastic Feldgendarmerie figures, which I will probably not going to use.
2 figures Feldgendarmerie (Mantis), a dispatch rider Feldgendarmerie (Legend) en another figure (New World)

The figures:

Started with the figures and the BA-10. This is my first Hobby Boss kit. Looks a bit like Bronco, very very much parts, thin, with vague clues where to put them, and at the end 75 % of the parts will not be seen.
Lately I start with Mr. Surfacer Black and Tamiya, thinned down with, Mr. Leveling thinner. So I airbrushed the figures black and later with Tamiya white from above for the glazing technique.
I painted the inside and underside of the BA-10 and now attached the pe- fenders.

Might look like Bronco, but they are more moderate with the part count and detail. Sorta like Tamiya but not as well engineered. FYI, HobbyBoss has started rereleasing Tristar kits.

Looking forward to seeing how your project proceeds.

This is an interesting project, looking forward to the finish. Also, looking at the Zundapp box art, it appears that the figures are from Miniart’s Feldgendarmerie set.

I think so too, don’t know if I will use them. What surprised me were the pe- Ringkragen. They are gorgeous, and used one at the Legend dispatch rider as his shield was poorly casted.

[CKPlasticModels]

That’s good! The detail on those is very nice. Everything is very crisp and you can see it well.

Primered the beast with Mr surfacer black, then with Tamiya dark green, both thinned with Mr. Leveling thinner 400.
Next color will be German dark grey.

Basic AK Real Color Panzergrau and a satin layer of VMS

Getting there with the Zündapp

Worked on the Zündapp and some paintwork on the chaps

Adapted the right arm, finished the bike for painting

Great build so far, thanks for sharing. I really like armored cars and motorcycles and would love to see more models of them released.

[TeeAge]

Just practicing with VMS Products, I like it.

Almost one jerry down, several to go

Another one

Very nice work there! Are those wine bottle corks you have used to mount and paint the figures? Very good idea!

[TeeAge]

Round discs from the shuffleboard as a base, 2 c cement, a cork and a 15 mm rod.
A hole (or 2) in the bottom of the figure does the job

[Tank_1812]

I like that idea and will give it a go with the base. I have switched to a different style of cork for some figures. The wooden nickel and cork was acquired at Hobby Lobby.

[Tank_1812]

Works out great.

Thanks for the tip.

“Chained dogs” an interesting subject matter to be sure.
