Steve,
One word. Cracking

 

[Jim R]

Hi Steve
You style yourself "Apprentice Bodger". Nah - "Master Bodger" at least.
Most excellent work. Real eye candy.
Jim

[Guest]

Excellent work. The weathering looks magnificent.

 

[Mini Me]

Steve,
You have nailed it! Too bad about the base as I thought it added more interest on top of what is already most captivating.
Cheers, Rick H.

 

[Guest]

A monsterpiece! Just superb.

Hi Steve - you excel at the really bashed up finish. Very well done :thumb2:

(does tend to look like it is sat in an oil slick though :smiling5: - pity about the other base)

 

[Si Benson]

Morning Steve,
Blitz gun truck came out very nicely. All the tweaks, additions and paintwork have been worth the effort.

I can see that the crew won’t be getting the deposit back though...looks like it’s done more than one war:smiling5:
Well done mate....great work:thumb2:

Fantastic result Steve, too bad about the base but stand alone it is still superb.:thumb2::smiling:

 

[Tim Marlow]

Great job on this one....weathering is excellent. Love the subtle variation in the Jerry cans especially.....
Tim

 

[Allen Dewire]

Yup Stevie Wonder, You have really done a bang up job on this one!!! Looks tops and your finish on this is one of a kind my friend. I have to agree with Simon that it looks like it sits in an oil slick, but it doesn't take away from anything other than it is set in Kuwait!!!...Did the 8 hole front rim come with the kit? Late war Opel blitz's had the 8 hole rims. Afrika Korps Opels (early) had 6 hole rims like the ones on the rear. Just a question….What's Next Buddy??????

Prost
Allen

PS, I can't believe you put your fine builds in a box and hide them away, when they're done. Such a shame……..

 

[bazers]

Great build great weathering great, great, great.
Ho and did I say it's great....

 

[Steve Jones]

One word Scottie - Thankyou!!:smiling:
Kind of you to say Jim but I still feel I am on a steep learning curve:thumb2:
Thanks for the support Ian
I appreciate the support Colin
Glad you like it Polux
Thanks for the feedback Rick
I had a lot of fun Peter. Glad you liked it
More damage the better for me Mr T:smiling3::thumb2:.
Si - When I put it into competition it will be under the title "Surrendered and Abandoned" so you are right in your observations:thumb2:
It was certainly one of my better efforts Peter. Many thanks
Cheers Ron:thumb2:
I am glad you like it as a stand alone build Fernando. Cheers mate:thumb2:
Glad you spotted those Tim. Five different shades of Brown which as you say gave that little subtle change in colour
Thanks for the feedback Allen. PM sent
Wonderful feedback Barry. Luv it:smiling2:
