Part of that Jeep Campaign. Calling it done. I messed up the decals: I didn't use clear and flat since I thought I had Archer Transfers in the stash...doh! I'll use it in a future dio.

Looks suitably muddy, Greg. Good job from what I can see.

Hey Greg, does the Tamiy jeep come with chains for the wheels? Or did you scratch build them? It looks incredible!

Greg, for the decals "problem", just brush on some matte varnish and rub some dust/beige/tan coloured pastel pigments over it. That should be a quick way to solve that problem if you are still concerned about it.

Alex - the chains are from the Blackdog set. Lots of goodies in there.

Glenn - thanks for the tip! I think I'll have some body bag/blankets for them to look at at the side of the road, as part of a larger scene with more vehicles in the future.
