I still have not come up with a name for this. Let me here what some of you would name it. Anyway in my last update you guys through some ideas at me well I used a few of them just thought I would ask what yall thought. I made the road muddy and added ruts and foot prints still need to blend my truck with the ground. I made the little foot bridge and added the dead grass, tree ,bushes and the cattails. I have an technique for the cattails I wanted to submit to the site but could not figure out how to do it if someone knows how I will email it to them if they dont mind .

The road looks MUCH! better than before, yet you could still ad some weeds in it.
dont leave the wheels white tho and i see you added some things in the back of the truck. add weapons? if not you probly should.

Thanx 3442, Yes I do have weapons. I still have alot to do before im finished. About the tree its an Ho scale tree the trunk and limbs are premade all I had to do is add the foliage its called ground foam from woodland scenics. I also will have more cargo in the truck have to scratchbuild more ammo boxes.

Very nice. I like the foliage; especially the cat tails. I even notice a tire swing looking thing on that tree. I’m guessing the white stuff on the tires is going to be mud. What did you use for the water again, Future? It’s looking good man. Keep it up.

It is a GMC-CCKW from WW2 and is a kit from Tamiya.Kit # 35218. The kit has a fairly well detailed motor with it but when you do it with the bonnet open you have to finish the firewall.

No I dont have any I did not do much detail under the hood. All I did was modify the hood becuase it comes closed added the hood hinge I only used what come with kit for the rest of the motor. Try a web search on google.com for GMC CCKW WW2 engine compartment.
