Made a start on jeeps and have bypassed the instructions for the most part as i dont need the engines and underside detailing as they will be secured to the dio base.

bit of work done with the lights i wanted to include.
Started out with wanting the type of light shade used in mobile theatres, the closest things i had that looked like they would do were the bomb type things (technical eh) from the 1/48 blackhawk that i didn't use in the recent dio.
got some styrene tube and LEDs / wire sorted and ended up with this little effort.

Did a little work around mulcahys' tent, just got to add some flowerbeds around the base. also added some detailing in the form of a spare door laying around.

Got a few shots lit up, camera doesn't pick up the effect very well though.

Love the Jeeps, Colin how do you get the dust/muck effect on the windows? The detail in your Dio is awesome mate.
Robert.Comment

Thanks for the comments guys
More updates a comin' dont worry Tony
Robert .... the dust is bicarb of soda, i paint the area its needed to go with slightly thinned PVA then put some bicarb in my hand and blow it onto the model, when dry i use acrylic washes in black and browns to colour the "dust" the dried bicarb just soaks up the colour and when dried again gives a decent effect methinks.
All the "dust" and "muck" on the vehicles is bicarb, i'll sprinkle or blow it onto the wet washes i use and then wait till dry to add extra colour, if its too thick (or in an area you dont need) you can rub it off with a stiff nylon brush.
If you get a red/brown mix of colour the bicarb idea is perfect for doing rust also.Comment
