Carpentum (odemars)

Carpentum!? What the heck is that? A wagon basically,,The PSR review answers it better than I can, so I´ll stop the scribbling and put up the pics
The roof supplied was way to fiddly and small so I made my own from guess what?? Green floor insulation with some braided copper wire around the edge :-D
The very first and the very last time I "dipped" anything in any sort of clever and expensive shader. The nags look too glossy and no...I won´t use dullcoat. It´s a reminder for myself to either paint properly the first time or not at all.
OOPS!! Watch out...it looks as if mother in law´s come for the ride !!

    That's damn nice work and without the mother in law there could be a sign saying if the Carpentum is rocking don't come a knocking. Really well done sir.

    The roof is superb. I was going to suggest toilet paper, but you got me.

    Great colours on the wagon/carpentum. And the roof design is very clever.A lot more interesting than the one provided with the original kit which looks pretty bland.

    Which company provided the occupants?

    Very nice post again Paul! I like all the little details you've painted. And also a good use of the old Atlantic figures ;-)
