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

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!

I've never liked resin or metal kits from the moment I first tried. Give me plastic any day. Nice update there looking good.

[@BlueLabelDrinker]

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

[@BlueLabelDrinker]

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!

MiniatureManiacs Thanks, Steve.

[@IDICBeer]

Shame about the kit, still looks good though

[@BlueLabelDrinker]

***** Thanks for the comment, and the compliment. Bummer that a kit that costs so much was such to pain to finish...
