Remember the Citroën Traction Avant 11CV we purchased from Neucraft back in 2017?  We have reshaped the rear portion of the vehicle to make it more accurate and then released it as one of our first resin products...



Introducing Citroën Traction Avant 11CV Version 2.0... now with interior and optional driver in civilian and Heer uniform!



























Enjoy!
;)

I saw this on the FB site.  This is more like it!  I knew you could do a much better resin model than Neucraft's.

It is just a priority issue what gets updated.  ;)

Very nice.

Of course this now introduces the problem of glazing it (I made a complete mess of attempting to glaze "The Other" Blitz).

as i said on FB,
a FFI blister with some passengers armed with sten, and a prone maquisard with sten on one of the wings could be a best seller

a Gestapo blister too
... and a gasifier ...

A pewter add-on side-project for our Citroën Traction Avant 11CV (282012) inspired by a 1/35 kit from Blast Models.















Enjoy!

That looks great . Now you need a resin interior piece of a family of 5 or 6 jammed inside .
Only thing that pops out as "wrong " is the large ropes going through the windows that are  holding on the mattress , they  look big enough to tie up the Titanic . Could you thin them down to the same size as the rope on the  rolled bundle above the driver ?

To better showing details of the stowage, here is a painted sample...

BTW, the ropes for the rooftop stowage had to be "exaggerated" a little bit because of the pewter casting process.  The rope had to be of a certain "thickness" without losing details or portion of the rope.















Enjoy!

It really does look good painted up . And I do understand the limitations of trying to make real world  stuff look right in a small scale , your doing a pretty good job of it .

That's just gorgeous 8) I'd toyed with making a 'mattress on the roof' type add on, but thankfully you've saved me from my ham-fisted attempts & produced this loveliness.
