Nice resin vehicle with metal figures from Warlord games which I picked up during the black Friday sale.
I used Vallejo Model colour Green Brown for the base colour of the vehicle.

| I wanted the figures to be removable so I drilled two holes in the seats with a hobby drill and glued in placed 2 tiny earth magnets, I also secured thin pieces of metal on the underside of the figures with superglue . |

You've done a great job there John, but I imagine that the cross country ability was pretty poor, looking as it does as a civilian car with some camo paint applied.
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve and yes agree.

That looks awesome, and the flexibility created by being able to remove the figures is a huge plus. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you anthony
DeleteGreat model, John. I really like the weathering you've given it. I bet these took a battering in the jungle!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark, yes the jungle is a harsh environment

Cracker of a job on the Type 95, John! The weathering is spot on for that jungle setting. While we usually handle full-sized 4WDs and vintage cars over at Cash for Car Brisbane, it’s great to see such a detailed 'mini' scale model of a classic scout car. The magnet idea for the figures is a clever touch!

Superb work on the Kurogane, John! It’s fascinating to see the Type 95 in 28mm—especially considering it was the world’s first mass-produced 4WD. Your weathering really captures that 'jungle-worn' look. Interestingly, a few of these unique scout cars actually made their way to Australia after the war via the Commonwealth Disposals Commission. While we’re usually dealing with modern 4x4s and everyday commuters at Cash for Cars in Brisbane, we have a massive soft spot for Japanese automotive history. The magnetised figures are a genius touch for wargaming flexibility!
ReplyDeleteGreat post and a very inspiring model! The way you painted the Japanese Type 95 Kurogane scout car looks fantastic, and the small details really bring the vehicle to life on the tabletop. I especially liked the idea of using magnets to keep the crew removable, which is a smart and practical touch for gaming setups. The real Type 95 was an interesting World War II reconnaissance vehicle produced between 1936 and 1944, so it is always nice to see it represented so well in miniature form. By the way, reading hobby blogs like this reminds me how different enthusiasts value unique things, just like people in other niches such as those searching for cash for scrap cars ipswich. Really enjoyable post and thank you for sharing your work! 👍

ReplyDeleteGreat post — that 28mm Japanese Type 95 Kurogane scout car looks fantastic with such crisp paint and weathering, and I really like how you made the crew removable with magnets (a clever touch for gaming flexibility). Seeing this little all‑wheel‑drive 4×4 set up for jungle probing really brings the Pacific theatre to life on the tabletop, and it’s the kind of thoughtful modeling that groups like Townsville Wreckers would love to see on their own terrain setups.

ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed reading this detailed look at the Japanese Type 95 Kurogane Scout Car it’s fascinating how such a compact vehicle carried so much historical significance, and the modelling work captures those proportions and character nicely. The discussion around design practicality and field use adds depth beyond just the visual aspect, which makes the piece engaging even for readers who aren’t strictly military vehicle enthusiasts. It’s interesting how machines from completely different eras and purposes can still spark curiosity today, whether preserved in miniature form or encountered in everyday contexts, a bit like how people in modern cities deal with ageing vehicles through services such as cash for cars removal sydney, giving old machines a different kind of afterlife. Overall, a thoughtful and well-presented article that balances history and hobby craftsmanship well.
