Well I finally finished my Move It! entry. I'm sure you will all recognize this Tamiya gem. I apologize for the quality of the pictures. Maybe one day I will figure out how to take a decent photo.

Very Nice! Congrats.

Nice looking GMC Patrick. Another good addition to the campaign.

pics look good to me, and so does the model! is that real canvas on the top there ?

Nice build with some neat and subtle weathering - just enough. Well done

Nice clean build there Patrick.

Very nice build

Very nice truck and also nice fading colour effects and subtle weathering . Its very very good finished. Bravo

Can I have it?

Thanks for the remarks guys. As a "strictly" German builder, I am not really up on Allied stuff, but I did enjoy this kit a whole lot. I built this truck OOB. Believe it or not, there is not a wash on this thing. I preshaded with black and then used varying shades of OD to get the look I wanted. Then I drybrushed with Dark Yellow. If you Allied guys haven't tried that shade for drybrushing, I think you will be pleased if you do.

Very good it is a very good example for the "Move It" campaign. Cant wait to see your next entry!

Thanks for the tip about the dark yellow dry brushing. The truck came out very nice. Bravo.

it looks very good .congrats

Great job. I appreciate the dark yellow tip. Did you use the Tamiya GMC accessory kit? Your wheels (not the hubs) could use a little weathering (if not already done), but they could easily pass for normal.

For your pictures, your modesty is not necessary; they are just fine. They show exactly what the viewer needs to see: a precarious combination of detail and overall perspective.

Once you build a truck (no less a Tamiya Deuce), you will never go back, no matter how tempting German armor is. Well, maybe thats not true, but it sure pulls you in and makes you want to do another.

Congradulations on a job well done.
