Great progress, guys!
My participant(Bulgarian Magirus S330 truck) is on hold for several months now- it stalled because I couldn’t find a way to represent the inscriptions on its doors and then got sidelined by several Pz.IV projects, hot weather, holidays and the sommer lull in modelling.
Last weekend, at the expense of a nice Cuban cigar, I found a solution for the inscriptions.
In other words- I’ll get back to the Magirus after Sofia Scale Model Show, in 3 weeks time!

There’s a “basic”-looking Ford from Wespe Models

Cough! 
Yeah, we all have our weaknesses/sins

Looking good Bert, very nice work on the paint chipping! Looks like you’re having some fun with this one.
Cheers, D
Thanks! I sure am, these old kits still are nie to work on, fit etc is great!
Original hubcaps are too big.
Test fit on a wheel. (The left one)
and updated road wheels with new hubcaps made with a rim part of the VBL Tiger Model and a rounded metal wire in the middle.
Comparison with a picture of the truck.
Done (or not?). I think the next Russian wheeled vehicle I do, and I have several, I need to try making it muddy. Dusty/dirty is okay, but something different is needed on my end. So, the little Gaz and trailer are finished for this build.

And very nice it is Mike…looks great with the dust covering it 
Looks good.
Beautiful work!
Nicely done!

Dust… mud… dust… mud? Oh well, one of these days.

Back to the watertruck, after the red and green added a layer of varnish, let that dry a long time, than a layer of hairspray and a top coat…
Bert, Mike-awesome job on your participants!
I received the preview of my Magirus S330 decals and approved them
Should receive them(2 pieces) in a couple of weeks.
I somehow knew a good Cuban cigar will make the difference

Great work Mike. Nice to see the little conversion job come out so well.
Looking good too Bert.
Back to the truck… got more paint on it, put the cabine and watertank onto the chassis, added decals… and put wheels under it… so it needs some sand and dust now…
Added rust, dirt, sand an dust to the truck, and am calling this one finished… thanks for the nice campaign and good luck to the last builders!
Lovely build Bert. Some nice methods to get that hard used look, which could easily happen in real life.
Excellent tanker you got there! Reminds me I need to step on the “loud” pedal with my build!
Great job Bert. It certainly looks like it has been well used.
