A FEW HUMBLE CONVERSIONS AT A CROSSROAD... 

The ones I like most are the soldier carrying ammunitions for the panzerschreck and the one with the telephone backpack cable reel spooler. I used a mixture of models to start. The one holding his rifle on his shoulder is an Airfix surrender to which I cut his arms

  

 

 

 

 

From almost nothing to a Borgward 5 tonn LKW

I had a soft plastic moulded truck from the ‘70s whose closest reference was probably either a Buessing Nag or a Borgward. I decided to do some basic upgrade to get it closer to the latter one. These pics show the starting point:

                          

    

I added some cargo bed on both side, the manufacturer’s logo in front of the engine, two rear view mirrors of different shape based on the reference photos. I added the lights, rose the truck doors and put a driver and his steering wheel. I also added the two width signal sticks. I added some pumping tools (MARS).

                          

I painted everything with Molak 1187 and did some light weathering. I used some TL and Skytrex decals.

This truck is nicknamed Tiger as you may see on the right door. It belongs to 116^ PzDiv and its tact symbol tells us that it belongs to a transport unit:

I put some Attack drums, 88mm shell cases by 20mm Zone, bed rolls by Goffy Model, mixed cargo by TP Models. The soldier is from Preiser, if I remeber well.
