[Windy]

Yes alex i was surprised , i expected it to be like a desert yellow / sand /buff sort of colour , cheers tony

And Light Stone is much yellower than you'd expect. As for Silver Grey and Slate, let's just not go there!

You made a hot rod jeep. That's nice.

[yak face]

Well I resisted the urge to rod the jeep ! Its now in the process of having all the bits and bobs added on . The four figures have been painted and had a wash to highlight the detail. Once ive finished adding all the bits and given the jeep a wash to dust it up a bit then the two figures will be added .

Im calling the jeep done , all the bits have been stuck on , the mesters put in and its had a wash of UMP light dirt . Now i can concentrate on the chevy .

Very nice indeed Tony.

The Chevy is just about complete , only the guns and figures ( plus steering wheel ) to add . The two black primed parts in front are supposed to be fixed on the scuttle , I presume they are meant to be windscreens ? If so then I’ll replace them with some clear acetate , anyone care to clarify this ? Once it’s all together it’ll be getting a light dirt wash like the jeep to give it that dusty sandy look .

Yes, those are meant to represent the windscreens, but they didn’t include a clear sprue for them. You can also leave them off completely, lots of photos of the real trucks show them like that.

[Windy]

They are windscreens, but they've got canvas covers over them to reduce glare. That's how I painted mine anyway!

[papa 695]

Looking very good Tony.

A military vehicle with soft furnishings - the curtain is a nice touch !
