Beautiful work! I hope we get to see more.
I'd be interested in seeing the vehicle next to some of your figures for a better sense of scale.

Really neat modelling work. So it looks like you are playing early 20th century?

Pretty much the Interwar period.

Excellent!

C'EST magnifique! :-*

Nicely done.
For Pulp you don't need to rivet count.So the detailing can bounce out the otherside of the period quite comfortably (so jerry cans years before their invented not a biggie.even when their marked W⬆D 1940. ;))
Flimsies would be a better choice for future builds.(an observation not a criticism .its one of those daft bits that stick out once you've drowned in a tonne of research. Its actually a propper pulp adventure that brings them to the notice of the British and Americans pre war.)
I'd genuinely be more than happy to have it in my collection .
I'd also love to see it in context with your own figures.

Depends, Mark! After all, if it's a German expedition, jerrycans can still be a valid choice for interwar gaming. :D ;)
As I recall, the allies discovered jerrycans thanks to a prewar American-German exploration expedition. It's funny to think that the jerrycan was actually a fairly-closely-guarded military secret at the time!
Speaking of flimsies, I've never found a good source for those, in spite of wanting to be a bit of a rivet-counter at times too (well, they help give a specifically British flavour to something).
ANYWAY... Well done on that van! Good job balancing the weathering out, especially. Well-worn, but not too much. Is the dust a wash or a pigment powder?

The weathering is a combination of oils and dry pigments, sometimes mixed together, sometimes not.

Good job!

Great job.

I was wondering if the name reflects that and, according to the wikipedia page, it does! :D
