Great looking BEEP! I have that kit in my ever growing "to do" pile. It is one of my favorite wheeled vehicles of the era. Who makes the fig?

Very nice. I like the subtle weathering. Especially on the fuel drums. Well done.

Great work. Looks "busy" without overdoing it with that load in the back.

Coca-- wow! Nice work. Love the figure and your weathering. I would ask you to research your bumper markings. Off the top of my balding skull, the 15th Tank Battalion was part of the 6th Armored Division. There should be a triangle next to the 6. The letter A signifies an Army. The current bumper marking are for the 6A or 6th Army. They were in the Pacific during the Second World War. The guy wouldn't be wearing the winter outfit there. Trust someone with ready access to a reference will chime in.....
Nice job.

For most of us, this hobby is a craft, but a few talented individuals have the gift to make it an art... and you my friend have achieved this. Congratulations, your BEEP is flawless.

I'm simply stunned...
That's how I would like my models to look like one day...


The quality of your pictures is really impresive too. Great work with the camera and lighting mate!

It's a pity that all the photos from your previous posts linked to photobucket are gone
Maybe you could find some cozy place for them on some server so they could be always visible on the forum?

Cheers!

Now that is one very nice Beep

I love the little, subtle things, like discolored bags, fuel rings on the oil drums and such

So much excellent work to lok at and so well done. The worn bolt hlding the spare in place looks just about perfect. The dustiness works exce[ptioally well. The only chipping is where you'd expect it,. on the tailgate where stuff has been pushed acroo it.
Check the mirror, looks like there's might be sink hole in the center. Also, take a look at the close up of the left cuff. The brown on the knit portion needs to be extended a little more to even that out. Real easy fix.

Coca what can i say. Its your usual top notch build that always blows everyone away when they first see it. The great photography tends to enhance it all that more.

Hey can you jump onto support centre and submit this as an On Display? That way these shots will be situated in the On Display section so that its easier for members to reference back to it.

Let me know if you have any questions on how to do that.

Excellent work!!!

My impression of a model is always based on the first second or two of viewing it. There never has been a perfect model made, that will stand up to 100% scrutiny! With this in mind, its one excellent model.

This is very pleasing to the eye ... well built, painted and weathered ... plus the planned layout of stowage and figure give a very complete scene. Variations in colour add a great deal, plus the attention to smaller details ... love the straps for all the sacks on the sides. Nice one Coca ... and definately put in for a "on display".
