Final build photos must go into campaign photo gallery. In-progress photos posted to the campaign thread can be links to Photobucket or wherever you upload pictures.

OK... Are there size limits on each file uploaded to the gallery?

Hi Guys only found this campaign today and think it's a great Idea. I may not have time to start a new build for it for some time, so in the meantime i posted some pictures of a model I finished about 5 years ago. It's one of the orignal kits in this genre, a Mig BJ45 Technical with recoiless rifle.
Looking forward to seeing some imaginative builds in this campaign and hope to join in with a new build at some point.

Hey Guys, got up real early on the 1st, and got right to work here. So early that the paper hadn't arrived yet so I took a picture of my kit with Gary's post about the Gallery


So here was the 1st day progress

and what it looked like last night before it went to get primed

Primed the bottom this morning. I thinking of going with a hastily painted dessert yellow of a DAK vehicle stay tuned

You're the 1st.Sal....Good luck....

Just signed up, forgot to do it earlier.... will have some pics of my Meng pickup - Libya all the way
I'm almost done with the cab, will have to do something about that zpu soon...

So the minimum weapons caliber is 7.62mm machine gun?

Hey Peter ... Yes thats right .. smallest caliber is 7.62 anything and preferable belt fed .pretty much anything which to be steady on firing has to be mounted ,7.62 and up .

Hi Guys, Some progress here the gun is built and base coat has been applied


Still need to attach some parts and through some more paint at this 1

Sal: That's a good looking truck with an even better gun.

Happy Modelling, -zon

Looking good so far Sal....

Thanks for the complements guys I got a little more done on it today. Some ground up plaster and scraping from the work space mixed up to add a texture to the underside

then i completed the build and added the decals and some weathering


Futures and some more weathering to come

Hey guys thanks for the complements i added some washes and some dry brushing to my truck and here is what its looking like

for a not too detailed kit I think it built up nice


I'm almost ready to call this 1 finished I think it needs some gear and I'll see if i can find a figure to add to the rear, anybody have any other suggestions

Sal: that dirtied up nicely. You should add some ammo and maybe a few personal effects (rucksacks and such). Looks good!

I started the Meng pick-up with Russian gun in the back, or as my 3yr old son calls it, "the bad-guy truck." It goes together pretty well although a couple of the pins are larger than the holes and a couple of parts are "springy" and needed to be clamped down. The black plastic is softer than most styrene. I'm thinking I will mount the gun at the top of the bed and the color will probably be blue (at my son's request.) I forgot to add a start photo, but I can assure you it was after the start date.





Happy Modelling, -zon

Hi Zon, thanks for the comments, I guess I forgot to post theses in the tread, Some cargo added

And a figure

I was real surprised at how this kit built up and this was a fun campaign, looking forward to what you guys have in store here

I bought this box from local Toy Shop because looks interesting to me...





...and....













...and finished...










I hope you like it and happy modelling all....

Sal: your treatment on the wood floor came out really well. What was your technique?

Hakan: me likey!!! What a fun jeep to go about town in.

Happy Modelling, -zon

Haken, Nice work on that metal Jeep Kit it turned out pretty good

Zon, Thanks for the complement the bed floor was finished the following way:
Tamiya XF-60, Futures, a acrylic black wash, then I took some cheap craft store acrylic called sandwood on a stiff wide brush and sort of scrubbed/dry brushed around the gun base

Thank you Zon & Sal.....

Sal: thanks for the technique. I will give it a try on my railroad entry!!

Happy Modelling, -zon
