Well I finally finished my entry to Overlord. My first submission to Armorama as a completed model too!!
As I said this was a quick model, I'm not pleased with several aspects of the model...
I had some odd things happen to me in the decal stage. I used MicroSol for appling the decals and they looked great when they were dry, but since they were shiny I dulcoted them and they silvered on me... I wonder why that happened?
I can't wait to get my own camera, just not friends with the one I barrowed...

Really... that is strange for when I go to the Campaign HQ and click on Overlord I am third to the last in the list. Is there some place else I should look?

About the built I can say that it looks very clean done and I can`t seem to find anything wrong with the decals... IS this the tamyia Jeep??
Further it looks like you sprayed the sides of the wheels in the same colors as your vehicle. Now I say it looks like that it could be weathering it could be the pics but it looks like you have Overspray on the rubber tires.
Further a nice vehicle

Faust: It is weathering you are meant to be seeing, I am not friends with the digital camera yet... Yes it is the old Tamiya model. I built it as a kid and picked it up for 3.50 partially built... I'm looking forward to other better models...
DaveCox: No problems, I wasn't sure where to put the entry so I was unsure of what exactly to do...
