The ambulance conversion fro the Zvezda 1:100 scale model of the Opel Blitz is complete. Or complete-ish.
(The WiP post is on my blog at http://mojobob.blogspot.co.nz/2017/08/opel-blitz-ambulance-conversion-15mm.html (http://mojobob.blogspot.co.nz/2017/08/opel-blitz-ambulance-conversion-15mm.html), for those who care to see the process)
I still haven't found a satisfactory way to add ropes to secure the load on the stowage rack without making them look like they're just lying there, and I don't think there is a way without actually carving the front tarpaulin to make it appear that the ropes are pressing into it. I'll probably end up just leaving it, unless it niggles at me too badly.
Its been an enjoyable project, and good to get back to some (almost) ground-up modelling after all these years. And now my little toy soldiers have some medical back-up.... though I note, now that this is done, that I still don't have any medics or stretcher bearers.

That is great, and I will use it as inspiration for my 28mm model.
