Fiat 626 truck (Victoria Model 1/35 Resin kit) Lost in Normandy

This still remains one of my most pleasurable builds since getting back into the hobby. It represents a Normandy casualty with a battered Opel car dumped on its back.

The truck is an Italian Fiat 626. This is a resin kit made 1/35 Model Victoria. The car is a Bronco Opel Olympia staff car

 

Both kits were built out of the box with subtle damage added to both. The truck screens were replaced with cake wrapping plastic. They were painted in whatever paints I had available at the time. From memory I am pretty sure this included both Vallejo and Tamiya acrylics.

The strangest of times, self assessment and back to the bench

01 March 2021

With the lockdown restictions many of us have been experiencing it has been a difficult time for all of us and although I have had more hobby time over the last twelve months it has been increasingly difficult to motivate myself.  Now things are looking more positive and Spring is upon us, the creative juices are flowing, and it is time to get creative in the cave again. Whilst away from the bench, I had been evaluating why I had struggled with a few processes and techniques over the last year. Being self-critical is one way I continue to better myself as there is always room for improvement.
