Model is build OOB.

Driver figure is from Waterloo 1815 (from their Italian tankmen, driver and artillery crews box), which contains a perfect driver for this vehicle.
The bedroll on the left fender and the cardboard box inside the vehicle are from E.T. Models and the wooden crate on the right fender is from Value Gear.

The vehicle was painted with light sand from Tamiya (spray TS-46), washed with a dark brown oil paint filter and the details were picked out with a heavier surrounding of Tamiya's Panel Line Accent Color (brown).
When this was completely dry, a light drybrush with a mix of Humbrol 94 and white oil paint.
Scratches with Vallejo Model Color Dark Grey and Panzer Aces Dark Rust;
When everything was dry, the whole work was sealed with a coat of Tamiya TS-80 Flat Clear.
Weathering finished with a light coat of Vallejo Pigments Light Yellow Ochre and a heavier coat of MiG African earth pigment.

The accessories and driver where painted with Humbrol (H226), then darkened with oil paint : black for the shadows and drybrush with H226 and white
(varying the degree of black and white in the mix driver / bedroll to avoid the driver looking like he was dressed with a piece of his bedroll...
Flesh tones were Panzer Ace 341 with a wash of dark brown (oil paint), drybrushed with Panzer Ace 342 Flesh Highlight.

For the wooden crate I tried for the first time AK Interactive Heavy Chipping, which worked rather well (if you follow the instructions !).
