A little bit of work on a Rubicon Opel Blitz that will be heading off to be auctioned in aid of a little girl called Emma, who is in need of raising some funds for her surgery. May not raise much, but every little bit helps. link

I'd buy it. Where is it being auctioned?
PiersBrand	13 Mar 2016 5:16 p.m. PST
In a Facebook group… link

I don't do facebook etc, but I'd like to bid; is there an alternative means of doing so?
PiersBrand	14 Mar 2016 5:02 a.m. PST
Let me know and I will put the bid in for you matey. I'm not running the bidding so can put it in on your behalf.
Disco Joe	14 Mar 2016 5:48 a.m. PST
Nicely done and I commend you for helping out this way.
PiersBrand	14 Mar 2016 5:59 a.m. PST
Thanks Joe. Quite a few guys doing tanks to auction off for her, so I thought I'd do something different!

That is stunning :) And for a good cause too, couldn't be better, will give the new owner an extra warm glow. L

Superb work Piers, and a very kind thing to do. I would bid but I don't do 28mm. If you put up one of your 20mm vehicles, I'm in!

Piers – can't find your email address; can you drop me a line?
PiersBrand	14 Mar 2016 2:14 p.m. PST
Might have to do a 20mm one then…
LeonAdler	14 Mar 2016 2:41 p.m. PST
That would be something worth seeing :) PSC supposed to be coming up with one I believe. Just hope the 20mm vers has open windows, not a fan of moulded windows myself. L
PiersBrand	14 Mar 2016 3:18 p.m. PST
Me neither…
wrgmr1	14 Mar 2016 4:30 p.m. PST
I have the Britannia versions. Maybe an 8 Rad armoured car?

Well, if that one does not raise a fair amount, I do not know what will!
PiersBrand	18 Mar 2016 9:38 a.m. PST
On £100.00 GBP so far!
LeonAdler	18 Mar 2016 10:53 a.m. PST
And worth it :) L
wrgmr1	18 Mar 2016 5:16 p.m. PST
Awesome!!
PiersBrand	20 Mar 2016 4:46 a.m. PST
Last day of the auction and up to an amazing £250.00 GBP!!!
PiersBrand	20 Mar 2016 3:33 p.m. PST
Well it sold… raising a total of £350.00 GBP towards Emma's surgery!
LeonAdler	20 Mar 2016 4:14 p.m. PST
Wow! Brilliant stuff! Never was paint dished out for a better result I'd say. L
wrgmr1	21 Mar 2016 11:46 a.m. PST
That is fantastic Piers! Superb painting! I agree with Leon.
