The Truck Of Truth

[Phil Robinson]

I had this rather splendid Matchbox truck with suitable Russian newspaper logo off Dave for Christmas to accompany my Soviets in their bid to bring truth and freedom to the masses of Rhanzlistan.

There is a top view over on my dedicated Rhanzlistan blog if you are interested, http://truetotheeast.blogspot.co.uk/

Fresh from the factory


Suitable weathered after its journey to Rhanzlistan

Excellent job, I try to weather my cars,
instead of repainting them.
Was that what was done?
Very nice.

Yup, a coat of Matt varnish, various washes then drybrushed and paint chips added. Another coat of varnish then a filter followed by grime streaks another coat of varnish and then the lower part done with pigments.

That's how it came, a great find by Dave, never seen one before with Russian logo.
