Willys Jeep MB - 1/4 ton - 4x4 - 1:35 - Tamiya

[pjgtech]

My current little project. Actually started this a few days ago, but forgot to upload any pics, sorry!
A nice little 1:35 Willys Jeep MB.
I may be using this later in the year for a diorama I am thinking about, we'll see....
So the obligatory pics, box art, sprues (already painted some parts) and initial construction of the engine, chassis and main bodywork painted.
Pics....




Once this is built I may attempt some sort of battle damage, a twisted wheel, some damaged bodywork, a shell hole or bullet holes, maybe a burnt out section? Don't want to leave this one plain standard....
Cheers

Watching with interest. First kit I built back in 2010. The driver was so cross-eyed he should never have been given a licence. Your build will be much better I'm sure.

Not sure if I'll bother with the driver, as I have this one in mind for a diorama at some point, and I want to do a battle damaged version, so will not be a driver inside!

Did a bit more this morning, just before I knocked over my panel liner bottle, all over my desk!!! [Doh!]
Luckily my old canvas sheet that I keep on my desk, under the two A3 cutting boards, soaked up most of it, but still made a bloody mess though......

Anyway, last night assembled most of the vehicle, see pics...



Then painted the tyres...

Then this morning, assembled the weapons, pioneer tools and windscreen....


Then proceeded to paint pioneer tools and weapons....

So getting there, but still bits to do, tidying paintwork, final little assemblies, then on to weathering, etc....

Coming together nicely.
