Opel Blitz
« on: October 06, 2015, 11:30:41 pm »
Here my first of probably quite a few to come ;-)
Such a useful little vehicle and hopefully there will be some expansion sets coming eventually..
Needless to say it's an easy build just like previous Rubicon releases.






I've used Bolt Action heads for the useful driver/ crew to have more consistency within the army:

That looks really good.

Excellent idea on the heads as well.

Good stuff - I like the naturalistic weathering.

I see you had a bit of trouble with the front panel of the cargo bed.  I found you have to do a bit of trimming and pushing to get it to sit properly, otherwise won't be level with the side panels, and you get a gap when you place the canvas tilt on the cargo bed.

Admittedly I only noticed this in the pictures I've taken (just like the shovel blocking the door..doh!).
In Real Life (TM) it's bit really obvious.. ;-)
Anyhow, the next one is ready to be assembled and this time I will be more careful!
It's gonna a camo paintjob for my Late War Grenadiers 8-)

Cheers
