Dirty Little Deal Van

[Dragline]

I painted this a few years ago in NAPA colors and got some decals and planned on a NAPA delivery truck thing. The paint bled underneath the tape and I got so mad I nearly chucked it.

I let it dry and threw it in the box with disgust. 2 weeks ago after I finished the Malco car I threw this into the pond. It came out very clean so I sanded it and threw some white primer on it. I had no plan whatsoever but I just stared at my paints and it hit me. I laid down some Vallejo acrylic white and taped it off [again]. This time I grabbed Tamiya XF-71 cockpit green and thinned it with a little laquer thinner, shot it and stood back.

I have a great many Vallejo raw earth pigments and washes so I attacked it gently with sandpaper first and then rust, followed by a little hairspray and red earth.

At least it's not hideously painted blue and yellow and sitting in a box on the shelf.

I lost the fin for the pink board but i'm making one and with some string i'll make some bungees to hold both boards to the top and finish it.
