I intend to finish the diorama I started for the WWII Group Build. Here is more work on the jeep and contents.



The black is primer to cover what I added after I had painted the green. Since I'm not on a time limit now, I can take my time and add more stuff. Maybe it will come out better this way.

Fuel drums for the beach, tires for the trailer, and the spare for the jeep.

Very nice,I really like the weathering and oil stains on the barrels

[DBMiller]

Moving right along. More work on the trailer and it is almost done! On the other hand, I will have to remove the steering wheel to insert the driver! Didn't think of that, did I?

[DBMiller]

Just a bit of work for now. The trailer is almost done!

[rodrant]

Like what I see , should be a very good Diorama ! The Jeep and the trailer are Top !!!

[DBMiller]

In an effort to move along on my build, and to make it look better, I have ordered this set from Value Gear. It's made especially for the Italeri trailer so should be pretty nice. With shipping it was only $9 from Value Gear's eBay store.

[DBMiller]

More work on the jeep! This is with more parts attached.

And here is the jeep and trailer glossed up for decals and washes. Still a couple of parts to glue on, like the side view mirror, but I always break off things like that so I will wait a bit.

[DBMiller]

Here are the parts! Value Gear also sent along a bonus set of crates and rolls, sweet!

[Yevgeny]

Looks like perfect fit

[gustavlekstal]

Stunning work. The story around the model that you build up with stowage and figures are as important as the tank or in this case a jeep. Stunning work again!!!

[RedDevil66]

Looking good so far!

[Nige99]

Looking good so far keep it going. I like the value gear stuff, looks a nice fit to.

[Hillbilly]

Beautiful! That stowage really looks the part Can't wait to see this one finished!

[UKguyInUSA]

Fabulous work so far...look forward to seeing the rest of it come together now

[DBMiller]

Only a short update. The front wheels are on!

I don't know what happened to the guys out back. Must have been the new year's party.

[DBMiller]

More work on the jeep and trailer. Added the rest of the decals to the jeep and began work on the trailer load from Value Gear! The final photos are just after I gave it a wash, so is still wet.

Airbrush base colors.

[DBMiller]

Still plugging away!

In need of a matte coat of clear.

[Coen]

That's freaking awesome dude! That little stowage pack it top drawer. Excellent colours too.

[DBMiller]

Well, it is done! No diorama, though. That was a bit more work than I wanted to put into it just now. Here are the final shots of the jeep and one with it in the LCVP.

[Coen]

Dude!!! That's awesome!
Very cool work.
Maybe one day she'll find her way onto a small beach vignette. She's got that look.
Well done.

[gustavlekstal]

Freaking love your work! The marine colour on the boat gives such a nice contrast to the olive drab!

[Donkeywalloper]

You have done a superb job on this whole scene.
Great work mate, great work.
