Hello guys!

I used this opel Blitz Out Of Box just for weathering works. I wanted to see how the different muds works over dark yellow and winter camo.
I think that even I should add more dark mud. But is good enought to me.
Also I enjoyed the streaking grime effects in the sides.

Here some pictures:













You can check a couple of pics more in my blog.

Thanks!

Excellent work on the Opel. I really love the way the windows turned out. I'm building a Opel Blitz for the Softskin Campaign and can only hope it comes out half as nice as yours!

Thank you very much to each of you. I am really happy that you like it. I really would like to finish it a bit more, adding the flak and the small terrain. But not by now.

Thank you again!

Superb work! That finish just convinced me to try Vallejo, for brush work. I am currently using MM, but Vallejo seems to have a much higher pigment content and the dry time should be superior.

Really an outstanding job!

Might I ask how you created the canvas cloth top? Does not look like the kit top nor does it look like any aftermarket resin top that I have seen????
