Tizona

Jose_Luis_Lopez · November 12, 2010, 6:07am

Hello everyone!

This is my first sci-fi kit painting work. An Spanish “Tizona” assault vehicle situated somewhere in a future mid-east war.

Tizona is the name of a sword mytical in Spain, as it belonged to “El Cid Campeador”. Cid Campeador was an Spanish medieval hero (may be you remember a film form Charlton Heston about this hero) during muslim occupation between 711 and 1492 (DC)

The kit was completely built by Oscar Pinela, a really Master with Scratchbuilding kits. Probably, for my taste, one of the best in the world.

Here, some pics of the work. My mission … painting it! A complete challenge for someone who only has painted military vehicles!!

Thanks for looking!

Any opinion or suggestion as usually, will be highly apreciated!

Oh, that is looking very cool so far! Subscribed.

Do you know where the standing figure comes from? He would look good w/ some of my 1/35 mechs.

Any updtates on this?

I LOVE walkers, and I am impressed by the ball and chain skirt armor. I hope to see more of that in future builds!

Dear friends:

Many thanks for your patience … this weekend I´ll post the pictures with the first painting step.

Hope you like them.

Well, here are the first pictures.

The owner of the kit, wants a no fantasy final look. So, I´ll make a “tank like” finish to this one (just with a little place to some “fantasy” effects)

Base color: CARC Tan

Any opinion or suggestion will be highly apreciated
