Emergency Miniature Work - 15mm USMC Super Cobra
Next Stage of "Elimination" - Opel Blitz Trucks
The last vehicles for me to finish in my 28mm DAK Warlord force are the three Opel “Blitz” trucks that came with the pack. I decided not to go with any of the “halftrack” options as I believe these were used in the East, and not in the Desert. Just for fun I used two different side panel options and the canvas cover for the third truck, with medic decals just for a change of pace.
While I really struggled with that armored car and had to repair a lot of damage with it, I’m actually pretty happy with how these trucks came out.
Here are the three trucks.
The back. Washing between all those planks was a pain, but the final look was worth it.
Markings are for (left to right) 21st Panzer Division, generic motorized infantry for the medic truck, and 90th Light Division for the truck on the right.
Experimented with putting transfer decals on the wooden planks.
Went ahead and put a driver in one of the trucks. 
I really love your painting scheme for the DAK vehicles, could you tell me which colours you used? Cheers!
Thanks very much @fleboy – but to be honest I always just use whatever is at the craft store. I’m a very cheap painter – I buy simple acrylics craft paint and mix it myself. For most of these DAK figures I used an 70% “King’s Gold” sunflower yellow, 20% caramel brown, 10% titanium white. One exception – I use Vallejo wash, in this case sepia and umber cut way down with water. Also use Vallejo matte varnish over the decals to get rid of the shine.
I like the weathering effects, they have a nice ‘sun bleached’ look, right for the desert
Thanks very much, @damon – not as nice as those Churchills I remember you had at the Boot Camp! 😀
