"Real men do ask for directions" - SAS jeep

[wasdale32]

Hi

thought I'd post this - its the age-old Tamiya SAS jeep with a couple of aftermarket resin figures

Some of the weapons on the jeep are from an accurate armor set from the late 70's - almost as old as the kit..

Hi All,

thanks for the comments - I always meant to build this years ago but never did.

The kit isn't too bad but there was a lot of flash and some of the parts were pretty rough. The dimensions don't match Tamiya's later jeep kit.

I replaced the sand channels with wine-bottle foil and rebuilt the frames round the jerry cans (the kit parts looked like 4"x4" timber)

The base is coloured plaster with chinchilla dusting powder ( just had it lying around from a long deceased hamster! ) and the rocks
are chalk from the garden (easy to carve).
