More 20mm trucks

A couple more 20mm trucks

Classic Airfix Opel Blitz
 Straight out of the box


Between the wars GS truck
This started out as a Hasawaga Toyota aircraft starter truck  
A bit of fiddling allowed me to fit a Shellhole Scenics truck bed onto the chassis creating a passable between the wars GS truck

Classic Airfix RAF Recovery set bought off that lovely John Dowman via Ebay

Now I didn`t need a fire truck, so I`ve converted the Austin to a K3 GS model using the GS body off Shellhole Scenics out of the spares box; sabot load of course

Tufts & grass, etc

Tufts & grass, etc


I`m not very good at terrain and usually can`t be arsed to mess around basing figures beyond a basic flock style

But I do sometimes experiment and find 28mm stuff needs more effort than 20mm. Anyway, I ran out of tufts and our local model shop was closed for a holiday and I don`t do GW (fuck em)  

So I went to Ebay and discovered this company - https://www.warpainter.net/

Bought this set of arid tufts for £4.90 inc postage - pretty good IMHO
