Ihor Hlohowskyj
Downers Grove, Illinois
After dressing up Italeri’s 1/35 scale Mercedes L-3000 with resin wheels and Eduard photo-etched metal, Ihor filled the bed with a Tamiya motorcycle, balsa wood timber, and other cargo. He painted the truck in Afrika Korps camouflage with Tamiya acrylics over pre-shaded panel lines. Papier maché groundwork decorated with sand and gravel, artist oil and Woodland Scenics washes, and grass tufts from Vallejo as well as a pair of MiniArt figures put the truck in the North African desert.
