Re: Opel Blitz / flak38 - A Work in Progress

Still got some more to do before it's finished. In the interim, here are some previously "unpublished" pics of the 'Blitz'.


No clear gloss or flat has been apppied at this point. Micro-Set decal liquid and a light wash of dark yellow was all that was needed to achieve the finish on the decals. I will however seal the entire thing with clear flat once I've finished.



More to come;

Re: Opel Blitz / flak38 - A Work in Progress

Well it's done, finally got the ammo box frame and tarp together and affixed. Went back over the tires with a little grey wash to bring out the rubber a bit.
Diorama still to be done for this "Guntruck O'Mine" and I will start work on that immediately. Got a couple of ways to go, haven't decided which setting to go with yet.
Here's what I think are the 4 best "Final" shots:




You guys are the first to see it done.

Re: Opel Blitz / flak38 - A Work in Progress

Very nice. I like the Blitz as a model.

Can't help thinking I have seen this somewhere before.

Just can't quite remember where.........

LT,
I do appreciate that, means a lot to me coming from you. You are the Man LT! As far as the build competition goes, we'll see, they may have the deck stacked against me, I don't know.
