Looks like a very nice clean build. Don't know if it is just the pictures but it looks a little glossey or shiney. Maybe add a hair of dullcoat. If you are still weathering and dulling then forget my blabber.

Good work!

Cheers

Looks nice. One thing I found when I built my kit is painting the overhead cover supports tiedowns and gas can tiedown a different shade of green (like kakhi (sp #:-) ) helps breakup the blandness of all OD.

Very nice build, good and clean, the basics are all covered. Good job.
As Eric said, I'd paint the straps a slightly different shade of olive and I'd do the gerry can a darker olive as well for more visual interest. I'd also paint the transfer cases and such a more a greasy black to dark metallic colors. Is it the light or is there something funky haoopening with the driver's headlilght?

Hi Dave

That looks neat! :-)

I know where the other guys are coming from... using a slightly different colours to show that parts were sourced at different factories. A bit like trying to get another tin of identlical paint from the DIY centre when you've halfway painted the kitchen...

All I'd add is to maybe sand the tyres a little flat to show the weight of the vehicle...

All the best

Rowan
