Here is an Italeri re-boxing of Esci’s 1/9 scale
Kettenkrad, which Chris completed in four
days. He painted with Rust-Oleum black
primer under Krylon wild oats matte, both
from the can. Craft paints and washes were
used to weather the vehicle. It also was dry-
brushed with craft metallics on the tracks and
dusted with various tile grout colors. Mounds
of tile grout formed the mud.▶ JAY SMITH

This intimidating duo is a combination of two
1/9 scale kits: The figures are from Model
Cellar’s “Kettenhund” set, and the motorcycle
and sidecar is AMT/Ertl’s Zϋndapp KS 750. The
brick wall and street are hand-carved foam
board. Jay painted with various oils and
Vallejo acrylics — notice the long shadow
effect on the man’s face.
