I've now finished two of the three vehicles from my box of Plastic Soldier Company German medium trucks.
I was going to give my late war Opel Blitz some camouflage but in the end I decided against it. The generic dark yellow gives it great versatility for any mid to late war battlefield in Italy, the Eastern Front or Western Europe.
The grey early war truck was loaded with German tank accessories stowage items and a barrel from Renedra (a company from whom I buy all of my wargaming bases, mostly 10cm by 5cm rectangular ones). I went a little overboard with the mud and weathering (a nasty habit) but overall I'm still happy with it. After all, my main wargaming mat in Bristol depicts a muddy field.
Almost straight after finishing the trucks I put together my third early war Panzer III Ausf G. Whilst I will be painting the tank in a standard early war grey colour scheme, I have placed a lot of stowage on the rear and turret to jazz things up a little. I'm also making use of a spare German machine gunner from a Plastic Soldier Company halftrack box on the main turret hatch, again to differentiate it from my other grey Panzers. The whole idea is to represent a Panzer III on the eve of Operation Barbarossa. A separate blog post and photos to follow.
