The Great Bolt Action Paint Off #3: Opel Blitz (grr!) and a Puma

- čas přidán 7. 09. 2024
- Bit of a challenging week modeling-wise...I finished up the Opel Blitz from Warlord Games, but I can't really recommend the kit to others (at least the version I assembled) as I had great difficulty with the resin body and fitment. But upwards and onwards: I had good luck with painting up my Puma armored car, and I hope to remedy a botched priming job on my Wehrmacht infantry squad this week. Hope all is well with you all!

NO WAY! I'M WATCHING THIS VIDEO AS I WORK ON MY BOLTACTION GERMAN RSO TROOP CARRYING VEHICLE, AS I HAVE JUST FINISHED PLAYING SKYRIM! MINE IS RESIN TOO AND I HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS!
Sounds like a rough week but that Puma looks friggin good Jason!!!
SmittyM14 Thanks, man, I appreciate it!
Great save with your Opel & wicked work with the Puma. Push on to Moscow!
***** I'm working on it!
I've never liked resin or metal kits from the moment I first tried. Give me plastic any day. Nice update there looking good.
Mini Warzone Thanks, MWZ. Metal infantry (at least of the WWII variety) aren't too bad, but like you I'm definitely not a fan of the huge blocks o' metal or resin. Warlord's Tiger I wasn't too bad, though...
Nice progress on model. You should do in some moment whole army show off . About yours question for resin truck i did see one in person from friend and he did have similar problems like you. For that reason i decide to wait for italieri to make some plastic models for WG. They did start to remake some of tanks and i am waiting on trucks
deende79 Thanks for the comment; I plan on doing a showcase video at the end of the challenge. I, too, look forward to some plastic trucks from Warlord!
Great update! Shame about the truck, you still managed t make it look good tho :) -Steve
MiniatureManiacs Thanks, Steve.
Shame about the kit, still looks good though
***** Thanks for the comment, and the compliment. Bummer that a kit that costs so much was such to pain to finish...
