I'll say!!

I've decided that the diorama would need a vehicle of some sort.

So I've been through my stash to see if I had something that would be fitting this theme...

The one i chose is a Opel Blitz truck, the small type from Revell (used to be a ICM kit)

 

 

Although it's only 1/35 if think it will fit the overall scale of the pieces of the diorama.

 

 

I was able to pick up some aftermarket kits for this from Dnepro model: A detailing set with some etch and a couple of resin doors.

Resin wheels to swap out the rubber ones from the kit. And a resin canvas cover, The resin canvas was a little disappointing so, I've

started adding some paper tissue to add some detail to it.

 

 

Primed everything with german dark grey...

 

 

The wooden parts have had the 'wood' treatment (wooden deck tan + oil paint for the grain. I will later use the 'hairspray' method

to add some chipping of the finished paint layer... 

 

Well it's a nice little break from the Aeromarine project, while I'm waiting for some additional parts to arrive...

The truck is coming along...

 

 

 

Chassis assembled.

 

 

Cab.

 

 

 

The resin wheels are the really an improvement to the skinny rubber wheels of the kit.

 

Thanks for looking in: Kent

No details yet, but it's getting there.

 

 

 

I completely forgot this little gem...

 

 

Zoukei-Mura's 'Anlasswagen'

 

 

This was fun, added a little extra weathering, rust etc...

where did you get the figures from Kent? I know the pilot figure from Ultracast but no the others.

[LSP_Kevin 27,486]

Looking good, Kent!

Evolution Miniatures, they are larger than most 1/35 figures, almost 1/32 ;-)

 

 

 

 

The truck driver is this fellow - Stalingrad Miniatures.
