Heya i got a model idea but im sure i can’t start it off without help, u see because of pegazus’ nice car i thought of making a fuel truck. eh something like this :>
ill attempt making the model but… i don’t have any experience with skins -,-
After its done maybe there can be made an objective map around it.
Like escort it to some building and then let it explode 
edit: I might take some pictures @ work so there are some more angles then just one.
Take alot of images, close up, distance. Front, side, back, top (top) might be hard. (dont forget to take images of wheels for texture purpouse) Also the name of that truck might help too.
I could help you out with the skin part. 
You should contact Diego, it seems like he already made a similar truck;
If you want something nobody has done AFAIK this *1932 Siemens truck looks simple enough. And the wood panel sides might be easier to skin (just guessing).
*Warning low res 1932 Nazi political poster in image
That looks really really simple, it’s like a box. That is the truck that they used to broadcast news too?
I might model it. 
(need to find some color images though)
I have access to a restored WWII era fuel truck and fire fighting Jeep, I’ll take some pics and you can steal ideas from them
Off-topic: Siemens made trucks, Nokia made tires… Sooner or later we will get a Chevrolet mobile phone xD
Sure, share with all of us here
@Th0rn3
I am sure the company has some customized phones named Chevrolet :rolleyes:, aight no off topic going anymore
edit: anyone have a clue what the name of that truck is (siemens)

Still searching. Siemens obviously is responsible for all the stuff on the back but the basic truck manufacturer is uncertain.
I have found another photo from the 1935 referendum showing the same model with an open box on the back and no running boards. (I won’t post a link as it has more Nazi symbols and the site is run by some sad sack Holocaust denier.)
The drive train bears some resemblance to the Opal Blitz 3 ton 2x4 the visible differences being the front suspension, engine cowling and cab. I have 2 different dates for the Blitz one which is before and one after 1932 so I need to find a better reference. Does anybody know if the Blitz followed from a previous design?
Update:
Found a 1930 Blitz hidden in the wiki commons so i now don’t think it is a Blitz.
BTW if you want a late WWII Blitz Woody try this model.
Another idea for an original model would be to make the Canadian Military Pattern CMP (i.e. used by the Commonwealth) Chevy Blitz. I might be able to track one down in the local museum.
And here’s a good link of links for old military trucks.
UPDATE: ITS A KRUPP, yes the very same company as made big Bertha and other artillery pieces. Wikipedias not too good on this one they don’t mention it under the company but do mention it under one of the company Presidents. In the 20’s and 30’s Krupp switched to making trucks, buses, tractors and other things since they were not allowed to produce much in armaments. The name is on the front at the top of the rad.(it is legible on the pic on the Holocaust Deniers site). Other models may have the name on the grill centered or to one side, and the 3 circles symbol either on the grill or the hood ornament. And to think I was about to credit Auto Union AG for this smaller relative. The windscreen, wipers, headlamp mounts and side grills are the same on this WWII photo. Model? no idea but probably earlier in the 1920’s.
The front of the truck reminds me of the USSR Katyusha rocket launcher. (which i happen to have a model of made)
So that might be helpful, to get the front. The truck back itself would be easier to make.
Still i am looking for a colored image of the truck, it helps a lot when it comes to texturing
[UJE]Niek has made a map, called oil sniper, he has already oil tanks like on the back of the truck in his map, maybe talk to him, if you can use it, dunno,

Damn, has been a while since i have attempted to make a model… gotta make work out of it… anyway thx for all replies of your ideas
