Hello,

My jeep used by Signal Corps is now finished. The frame for the drum is scratchbuilt . Here are some pics:

Superb job, I see a big old mold seam on the stick shift lever though. I really like the broken headlight and the reeling machine in the back. I used to have a few of those on my property book as a company commander.

Pierre Nice build, great scratch work! I love the shovel with the bit of dirt. Is it going to a dio, or a stand alone build?

Great work! Talking about realism

I like it..a lot! Are you going to enter it in MOM? You should.
Great work.

Very good looking model and a nice jeep variant.
I like the broken headlight also very much.
But let's hope it won't be a bumpy ride with those granates in the dashboard closet...

The dust, how did you make it? Is it coloured putty or something?

Paul

I think the Willys jeep is a very nice looking vehicle, and therefore I'm so pleased to see a variant here.

You've done a very fine job. I like the shovel, rations and jerry cans - it really looks realistic. Some nice details and a very fine piece of work all together.

Thanks for sharing this fine model.

Simon

Very well done. Your workmanship and attention to detail is good. The only thing I could see was the already mentioned seam line on the gear stick.

Cheers

Hi all,

Thanks for your kind comments.

Later this jeep will be in a dio with a radio GMC. So the grenades will be just put on the dashboard because the 2 soldiers will be seated to have lunch near the vehicle.

All the weathering , after a black oil wash , is done with pastel chalks. To simulate dry mud ( on the shovel ) i use wood paste and pastel.

Bad luck for the gear stick i didn't notice that before

See you later for the GMC and its radio shelter.

Besides the previous mentioned item, looks great, I really like the broken headlight touch.

Pierre,
Excellent work, and as stated previously your attention to detail is VERY good...the dash gauges, are they hand painted, decal, or dry transfer?
Gunny

Thanks !

It's hand painted

That's superb work!!

I am a complete newb and am just coming round to the wonders of this hobby. The area I am particularly interested in is military vehicles but not tanks. Basically, jeeps, trucks, kubels, etc.

In fact, I am about to start my first ever model, a tamiya 1/35 kubel.

Just wondered if you would be able to give me any tips, particularly your weathering tecniques. Also love the windshields.

Like I say, excellent work.

Hi Steven,

Yes it will be with a great pleasure.
