Hello,
Because I'm extremely new here, my 5 or 6 next posts will be just with the finished model, since I did not think taking pictures during the building process would have any use (now I know better).
Anyway, here is Revell's V3000S German Truck, at 1:35 scale.
All in all a very good kit, no unpleasant surprises, no extra effort on my side (just a bit of Revell Plasto Putty at the doors, since there was a bit of space between said doors and it's frame, my fault I should think).
I call it Frosty and intend to attach a (possibly) Russian soldier peering in from the left door in (that's why the frost is wiped partially from that window).
The general idea is that of a freezing February morning somewhere on the Eastern Front '45.
I know I went a bit rogue with all the weathering effects, but it just cannot be helped, I'm afraid.
For painting I used my trusty paint brushes (of various sizes, materials and making), Revell Acrylic Paint (mostly panzergrau), and for the effects EK Interactive Rust Washes and Mud Effects.
Now, for the frosty bit, I used one of Tamiya's white base coat spary cans (not all the thing, of course), with short bursts from about 40cm away from the target. The table took some shots as well, but collatera damage is to be expected in a war (build).
Final coat is Humbrol's Matt Enamel Varnish.
Since one picture is worth a thousand words, here goes:

I know I don't have to make my models so dirty and rusty... but... you know, I need to!

Excellent weathering on the truck bed.

No need to apologise for this one. It looks great.

Nice work, looks like my car a January morning….(Luckily it’s a long time to winter!)A realistic frozen car!
This would look great in a winter diorama with as you, say someone looking trough the side window.

Thank you for the very kind feedback!
I will start building the diorama soon enough, I hope (I have a Pz. IV H scheduled for a build sometime soon).

Very effective! nice model
Re: Revell 1:35 V3000S German Truck
Thank you all for your good feedback.
In all honesty, the model was not supposed to be a winter piece initially.
However, when applying the final varnish coat, I forgot to cover the windows, thus giving them that frosty look (the right window has been partially cleared with sunflower cooking oil, on a whim. Seems to have worked though). In a bit of panic I chose to "winter-ize" the whole thing.

Sometimes the best results come about from fixing "oops" moments.. this would be one of those. Great job.
Is this your sanderling?.
