This is a very nice kit to build by a very small company that manages to give us great injection plastic kits.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The effect of the yellowish/ brownish pictures looks great!
The third image looks like a real photo.

Also very nice build and weathering of the small vehicle!

greetings...

Thanks Sören,

But... ***blush*** the third picture is actually the real vehicle I based my model on.
I guess I should have stated that rightaway.

Glad you like it !

Very nice build, congratulations.
Some questions.
The soldier next to the vehicle is german right?
The vehicle is german made but has american paintings on it so what is the scene exactly? A reclaimed captured vehicle ?

Also which program you used to make the photos look old?

Best regards, Alexander

Glad you like it Alexander !
The figure is actually supposed to be a GI. It's from a Milicast set, and up close it looks like an American soldier with an overcoat and a general purpose cap. I admit that he might be a bit browner, but that's part my own fault and part the lighting. So the setting is just an sWS captured by the Americans.
The program is Photoscape and I simply used one of the built in features, which doesn't take more than 5 minutes.
