I have had this model painted apart from stowage for over 15 years. I was always happy with the detailing and the decayed bodywork, created by dry brushing reddy brown to orange paints over black undercoat, followed by a metal dry brush. I then stipled and painted the colours on, leaving areas of the under paint exposed. I then dirtied down with washes.

Van as painted 15 years ago, not much left to be done. Why did I leave it so long.......Van as painted 15 years ago, not much left to be done. Why did I leave it so long.......

Hidden in the stowage is a weird stuffed toy, which came with the original Frothers release of the Tank Girl miniature seen earlier. Hidden in the stowage is a weird stuffed toy, which came with the original Frothers release of the Tank Girl miniature seen earlier.

I have a werewolf and 4 zombie types to complete this weekend,  then I will have completed everything in the original “Spring Clean” box.

Only problem is that resurrecting this project has inspired me to buy more models ( Doh!!!) so I still have plenty more to do.
