Hi guys
A few weeks ago, I received a big surprise from a friend:
Holly mackerel!!!
After sorting everything out, I found out why they say that "orange is the new bloke"...
So the big question was: where to start???
And the answer was simple: get all those 1/100 Opel Blitz trucks and make some variants!
That's pretty much what I have been doing on and off between other projects for the last 2 month, give or take a week.
And I came up with 6 different models. Some totally real, some totally invented, and some 50/50
1. Radar unit (the one that started this craziness)
2. SAM missile (totally invented but based on the Rheintochter - at least in my head
)
3. Crane (nothing fantastic but a good scratchbuilding exercise)
4. Snow Plow (after watching the Simpsons's "Snow Plow King" episode ;D )
5. Ambulance (makes perfect sense, in these dire times, and it was interesting to build)
6. Fire Truck (my favorite and the one I invested more time and effort, just to test my 1/100 scratchbuilding habilities)
Jut to remind you how tiny these things are...
Now all I need to do is finish these 6 mini-dioramas (terrain, figures, vegetation, etc.....). When. is another matter
Thanks for watching!
