discussion WWII JEEP.

[eddiesolo]

While still faffing with a dio I decided to finish off a 1/48 WWII Jeep, inspired by a new members' BBDave's avatar.

Looks good mate what kit is it ? I was going to say tamiya but some of the detain looks a bit ropy not your excellent weathering I might add

 

[eddiesolo]

Not sure as it was one I bought years ago, made up and left. Just messed about with it and slapped on a coaster lol. Weathering is a bit off, heavy handed in places, also it still drying, but was inpatient lol.

[Guest]

How did you do the grass Si?

 

[Guest]

How did you do the grass Si?

It is just modelling scenery Richard, I prefer Jarvis (make) grass as it doesn't clump-ideal for a first covering. I just use a diluted PVA and apply to the base and then sprinkle on the grass, to build it up just wait until it dries and then add more PVA and more grass-you get the bumps etc.

I like this a lot. The windscreen looks fantastic. Should be starting my 1st vehicle next week and if it's a tenth as good as this I will be happy.
