Thanks Olly!
I've decided to do the load bed walls from thin birch wood coffee stirrers(no better way to represent wood, than with wood).So I'm carpentering now...

I'm in. It is amazing at what you can find that are used everyday to use in your modeling. I have a stock of different sized straws. Make great pipe loads for N scale trains.

Thanks Bryn!
Yeah, a lot of modelling can be done with everyday-use commodities 🙂
For example-a friend of mine (he works in 72nd scale) uses black sesame seeds to represent charcoal in truck load beds.
Or white sesame seeds for gravel...

And what happens when the seeds germinate ?
Those 1/72nd people they tell nice stories... But the serious guys are the 1/35th addicts, aren't they.

Well, I know some 72-ers, that are quite serious modellers.
Honestly-I'm sometimes struggling to see and deal with tiny details in 35th scale, while basically-there are no big details in 72nd...
It seems to be very demanding scale for me 🙂

That also seem to be the case with the vehicle I model...
Thanks Rui!
Will see how I can correct this.

Rui, I have to live with that rim between bonnet and side panel...
No problem to deal with it for the engine cover part, but it is also present on the body...

Thanks Holger!
Yes, they are. I have some pictures of Bulgarian vehicles with horns mounted on their grilles-that seems to have been some sort of fashion among Bulgarian military drivers...The most remarkable ones are present on a Stoewer R200 reconaissance vehicle(they are wider then the car itself...)-one day I'll build this vehicle too 🙂
I made the antlers from scratch, using 0,5 mm copper wire for the stems and 0,3 wire for the individual horns.Once the horns were wrapped, I used a liberal amount of solder, that also gave the stems some width.Then primed the antlers and applied Mr.Surfacer 500.Finally the antlers were sanded to shape and painted.
All in all-approx. 1 hour of work.
