Hi Ron

Very clever! The foam packaging really does look like a middle eastern building. In fact, when I first saw the thumb nails I thought they were reference!

Brilliant use of found everyday stuff.

So I take it your group build is finished then?

Bit of an update folks,

The Unimog is more or less finished now.

It is in the paintwork of the I.S.A.F. in Afghanistan. Brush painted with Vallejo Model Colour acrylics and weathered with the same, but watered down and slurried on to the model to allow the paint to run down into the cracks and ridges.

The windscreen will follow later. Apart from quarter lights, there were no door windows or internal winders with the kit, so I presume they were not fitted to the real thing....

I'm ashamed that when compared with other offerings in this G.B., my load/cargo is very sparse.

This truck is done, the Afghan house and figures are finished so I will post the finished diorama shortly.

Here are a few pictures of the truck with load.

Thanks,

Ron

For all the swearing and cursing, that has actually turned out very nice. In fact, I could still be tempted by one.

Great job on the paint work too.

I agree Ron for a kit you've had trouble with it looks spot on.
