This is my entry for the Amphib Campaign. It is the Tamiya Ford GPA. It is pretty much straight out of the box. I added some extra stowage and camo nets. The base is baked clay and expoxy for the water. The obstacle is from Tamiya and the sandbags on the ground is made out of gum with the candy shell removed.







Cheers,
Ryan

Very, very nice, Ryan
I really like this one. "Leaky" is a great name for an amphib. Only thing i miss is a figure or two. Maybe one who is taking a leak...? :-)

Cheers
Erik

Unfortunately Erik figures aren't really my strong point. I could add one, but I worry that it would detract because I couldn't paint it as some of you guys do. Maybe some day I will master the art of figure painting. The faces mess me up everytime!!

Thanks for the comments though, they are greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Ryan

Hi Salvo... I think you did a great job! Everything looks good... the groundwork, the GPA and the stuble weathering. Like what Erik said, you might want to add a figure or 2 in future, when you get better with figure painting (I have trouble with figure painting too.. heh)... Otherwise, people might start ask how did the GPA get there when there is no driver and no footprints on the sand...

Ryan,
I like it.As already said "Leaky" is a great name.The only "nit pick" I can see is there is no sand on the tires.If it just came out of the water the sand would stick to the tires.

Great job!!

Jim

I love it! Indeed just 1 small thing you could improve: sand on the tires.

Great entry, thanks for joining this campaign!

I agree with the sands on the tires.

As for figures, one should be added, but there are ways to get around face painting. Having a figure bending over, or having the face otherwise covered is the best way to avoid face painting.

Personally, I also like the duffel bag with the helmet on top. Made me think it was a person. Otherwise a great job....the tracks are awesome.

Jeff

very nice congrats!

Very nicely done. Great addition to the campaign. I have to go along with the missing comments but a really nice build. Congrats.

Hi Ryan!

Excellent work! Congratulations! this is very inspiring...

Jean-Luc

Excellent piece of work! I really must get started on mine...

I'd agree that some footprints in the sand would be a nice touch, but it still stands on its own as a fine model

Very nice work. I can see that you placed in extra effort with your base by what looks like dry brushing on certain regions to have a change in tones for certain areas.

This is really well done IMHO.
