Hi all,

I'm still working on my Jimmy. Unfortunately I haven't got enough time to work faster !!!!!
I sprayed OD overall and used only pastel shalks for weathering.

It is looking really good . I like the different approach with the radio shelter.

Cheers

Does the shelter have open sides? How are you going to see the interior detail?

I am impressed with the chain and pins for the tailgate door

Very impressive, very impressive indeed.
Love that subtle texturing here and there.
Lots of great details.

Hi all, thanks for your kind comments.

The shelter will only have its rear door open so it will be rather hard to see inside. I think I gonna not glue the roof so I will be able to show insinde during modelling shows i.e

Pierre, that looks great!!! The comm shelter really is some tremendous work. Before I got to those last pics I thought it was a very simple, yet excellent example of a duece and a half. The last couple of pics were the icing on the cake though! And I really like your subtle weathering.

Just when you think you've done a GREAT model somebody comes along and makes you want to weep!

Lovely job Pierre!

I'm especially interested in how you made the chains and securing pins for the tailgate.
