Interesting.
What thinner was used?
+220 models sprayed w/Floquil without barrier coat and haven’t seen anything like that.
Dude, I was a teenager when I did that one. Lotta brain cells gone since then. I’m sure I used whatever was supposed to go with it - Dio-Sol more than likely. The one time I didn’t use barrier I payed for it,

Got the wood, did a quick test, the linden wood is easy to cut, lets see how it looks with a wash when the glue is dry

This tip with a drinking straw is handy when working with white glue in any scale.

That looks legit.
Hm, white glue is a mess because it seals the wood against the wash, need to work more carefully
I noticed it in your photo but didn’t mention it because I don’t always want to be that guy.
I figured it was still wet and you would wipe it off. The more you make them, the better they’ll look.
Looks nice. Also, it may appear to be a bit big, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be an ammo box _ it could be a general parts box or similar.
I think it looks much better. If you lightly sand the areas of glue squeeze out, it may take the wash better. Don’t know if you want nail heads but poking a sharp pencil point before the wash can leave a mark like a nail head.
I’m thinking crates like these were mostly pried open and used only once so hardware unnecessary unless it’s built more like a trunk or a cruise box in the navy. Just sayin’
Actually, most wooden military ammo crates are reusable and are send back with the field trains for reuse. They do usually have hinges and hasps on the them.
That looks almost spot on for a Soviet 7.62 box that held two sardine cans of ammo. How they would’ve gotten it is another question.
HeavyArty: I stand corrected. I’ve not seen the like of this before. LRDG had petrol flimsies in wood boxes which became fuel for cooking once the flimsies were used up.
This is post 100, thx to all your tips😁
