Now that I am playing the Ruckzug campaign for Chain of Command I thought it would be good to have a few broken down German vehicles as scatter terrain. Obviously plenty of other uses too. I've had this Roden Opel Blitz Omnibus in the stash for a little while with a project like this in mind. So nothing like a campaign or a game to revive a project. I particularly liked the option to have the bonnet open and the engine revealed, it fits the narrative of the abandoned, broken down vehicle very well and will certainly fit the theme of the Ruckzug campaign.
While I was at it I had a Kubelwagen that came as a free 'extra' with a Dragon PzIV, so finished that off too.

Open hood a nice touch! Great eye candy. Love playing games where the GM throws in items like that to add to the atmosphere. |

Very nice. The bonnet looks a bit weird with both halves open, though. They normally seem to have one half open depending on what bit of the engine you want to get at… |

Well done on both. The Roden Omnibus is a bit fiddly but you've done a nice job. |

Excellent job on this coach.
The pursuit is hot, they need to let the radiator cool down! ;) |
