Looking great! Your weathering skills are excellent. The truck really looks

Like it has had a lifetime of hard use....Very impressive!

 

[FullArmor]

Added wheels and wooden base. Back tires are filled with small metal nails. And base has strong four magnets attached, so no glue needed to fasten this truck. Also easy to remove if necessary. I left engine covers off because i do not like how they are molded. Maybe i build my own using brass sheet.

I will add some dust effect on tires later on.

Please share your thoughts about this build.

Your ZIL looks fantastic, I like your painting and weathering style, very convincing and at the same somehow adds more depth due to the drybrushing.

Cheers Rob

Very nice ! Maybe the windscreen should be less clean, in line with the battered look of the rest of the truck ?

A small additional remark, of you want to go further: you could have shown the wipers’ swipe mark on the windscreen. I’m not sure if it’s possible now, though.

I knew this would come from you, Hubert , but I silently thought the same.
