Scottie

Great start sir. I really like Peter's suggestion of the night time wadi-light box jobbie. Keeping the Shep Paine spirit alive.

John

Hi John, Thanks mate. Not sure my skills are up to a light box yet.
 
Afternoon Scottie,
Another late comer....I’ll sit with Steve and try and keep him under control :smiling5:
I got the LRDG Chevy in the stash but it fails to inspire me. I’m sure you’ll make it cracking job of this though :thumb2:

Si, You will have your work cut out keeping him under control. I have that feeling about certain kits they don't do anything for me.
 
Another late one here Scottie... Watching with interest as also have a Chevy in the stash, no wonder I never finish stuff, I keep seeing ideas on here, and off we go, until someone posts something else, then we start again.. Great start..:thumb2::cool:
 
Pulling up a chair behind all of the Rabble to watch this one
 
Me too Buddy...I always seem to be late on everything. I only have a Chevy 15-CWT from Italeri in the stash, so I will be all eyes with your building these two. Looks like I have to sit with Joe behind my fellow rabble on this one. I promise to be good.

Allen, Good to see you fella. Apologies about the rabble but their not a bad lot really.
 
Don't know about that Scottie - have made a start on hacking mine about though as being an early 70's Tamiya it is not the most accurate jeep kit around (they didn't even get the jerrycans correct!), by a long way, but I have always liked the box art

chopped the dodgy seat bases out and scraped in the internal rolled edges to the body tub so far on mine

the windscreen scuttle panel edges don't fit very well to the body and will need fettling

I look forward to seeing your results with this oldie

Wouldn’t it be far simpler to begin with a better Jeep kit, for example by converting the Italeri SAS Jeep kit to a desert one, or to take something like the more recent Tamiya Jeep, and add the SAS modifications based on that Italeri kit?
 
Looking good Paul.
I've been watching form the start hiding under the chairs, looking through a mass of legs.

Paul, can you tell 453 Race to change his socks? It's getting a bit ripe under here!
