The first is the Testors/Italeri WC54 Dodge Ambulance. The crosses were painted and all other markings were custom made using my ALPS printer. My original decal sheet was shot and there were several markings missing anyway. Mine came out better than the kit decals would have. I also added several details, inlcuding a tow rope, spare tire securing plate, new lug nuts and a few other minor details. I still need to clear coat the whole thing and perform additional weathering. The shiny spots are Future for decal application.
The second is my Tamiya GAZ-67B. The jeep is almost done with just some minor weathering remaining. I want to add another thin layer of water in the stream. I may also add some additional foliage. In addition to adding figures, I have an ICM gun that I am building that will be towed behind the jeep.

Very nice shading on the jeep, great groundwork, there, too. I think the foliage looks fine as it is, accents but doesn't overwhelm the main subject.

yes very nice,
i like the shading on both the truck and the jeep,
one thing i would say is the river bed on the bottom dio, it seems very bright compared to the surrounding soil, maybe you could tone it down a bit, to make it blend in more?
cheers

The shading on the ambulance is exceptional.
