Some of my Jeep projects (many pics)

[Bagge]

Hi, i know it's been a while since i posted some pics, but here is some pics of what i've been up to lately

Started to build the old tamiya SAS jeep, and after changing the fuelcans and adding more details it looks pretty good, also used some leftover Vickers machineguns from a Italeri jeep.
Enjoy the Pics

Here you also see the ambulance jeep from Italeri, the cats pulled it off the shelf so it needs some TLC

The sas jeep was missing some handles, but after a dive in the spare parts box i found some :woohoo:

Taniya masking tape used as tie downs for the fuel cans.

The new water condenser for the radiator, evergreen styrene tube.

Vickers guns from Italeri (looks much better than the ones supplied in the kit).

Pics in daylight :huh:

Tow rope, after it's wrapped i soaked it in superglue.

Paint it black (primed)

More pics of the detailpainting to come, and also the figure/s

Man Mats, you've been sandbaggin' on us!



Really like it all but the detail on the rope and the loop look outstanding!

It is coming very well, congratulations!

Thanks! yes i've been working undercover hahaha
the loop on the rope is a plastic one from Tamiya, i think it is from the old armoured car 222....
will put up the rest of the pics later, it is almost ready (just the figure that needs painting)

I enjoyed this one, scratching those can holders made it look more "up to date" still some details to fix but it is almost done.

Here is some more pics of the painting process, did some different shades of dark yellow on the cans, and also two shades of OD on the american cans, the water cans on the sides got a whitewash (the captured german can has the white cross)

Some Vallejo gunmetal grey drybrushed on.

These pics taken in natural light.

Had to do some surgical work on the feets, otherwise the Miniart figure fits fine.

painting the figure is next on the agenda, Hopefully it won't take to long :hmmm

Amazing what the light does to the color. Really fine work Mats!

Those are a couple of nice looking LRDG Jeeps. Very good job on both of them.
