discussion tamiya 35 scale SAS Jeep

[Guest]

Here I have to show a tamiya sas jeep


I built this about 2 years ago very pleased with how it turned out


I used the salt technique ie prime paint rust brown then wet the model with water droplets then sprinkle salt onto model when dry airbrush dessert sand colour when dry wipe off salt with a wet q tip


I think it's a great weathering technique for beginners like myself


The base is a bit of roofing slate real stuff not the modern synthetic rubbish I then covered it in pva glue and added ground up house brick and grit then airbrushed it the palm tree is a bit of brass rod covered in a thin strip of muslin then the leaves are fuse wire with masking tape folded over it then cut out the shape of leaf and then cut all the slits took.ages with very good scissors hope you like it

Yep! He seems is alone on an island!! lol


The chipping technique with the salt looks very well done, the effect is perfect.


This Jeep is a lovely Tamiya classic! I started it some time ago, but never finished yet!!!


See yours, it gives me a motivation

Excellent build of an old classic, did great with the salt chipping effect, something I still haven't tried yet and the base is very effective.

 

[Guest]

Share beer? No problem... Share chocolate... That's on a whole 'nother level haha

 

[Guest]

Thanks for your pos comments this forum business is new to me and I find it very informative and a great inspiration by the way Alan the chocolate has gone now

Hi Roger, nice work mate, the Jeep and figures are nicely finished. I like the scene, it looks like it has leapt out of a war comic.
