Tamiya Willys jeep (beginner!)

[Guest]

Benhur, you are WAY too nice!


Takeslpusyphotos, great advice, I was actually thinking, those tyres look a bit TOO clean.


I'm going to redo the odd bits, when the paints turn up, and I'll update a new photo.


You guys are all too nice! The soldier looks way bad!! I've seen some of yours and this is nowhere near a hundredth as good. But that's why I'm here, to watch you guys, and see what you do.


By the way, every one of these models is going on my five year olds shelf, as a way of saying thank you to him for being brave, and helping me through everything these last two months.

Just my opinion but for a brush painted model I recon that's spot on my friend just the sheen needs to go then it will look perfect love the mud on the windscreen and the worn star just my opinion try vajello Matt acrylic

Poundshop mattcoat aerosol does the job nicely.........stand the can in some very warm (not hot) water for a while, and give it a good shake.

Very nice I wished I could have achieved that finish on my third outing


Agree on the matt varnish You can do that now providing you mask the windscreen

Way to go Dave that looks great

Other than what has been mentioned here, I think that it is a good first build and looks nice well done.

Great start Dave, give yourself a break, this shows some nice touches and you can only get better.

Dave, I love what you've done, great job, I had a full size 43 Willys back in 94-95 just in time for the D-Day and VE Day commerations, sadly I had to sell her. I was given a Dragon 1/6 jeep for chrimbo a few years ago, the decal sheet was missing but I built it anyway but without the markings on it it just simply doesn't look right, its in a box waiting to be completed (does anyone know where I can get a decal sheet for my jeep?).


Once again Dave a lovely build, looking forward to seeing some more of your builds,


All the best, Dave

Very nice Jeep Dave. The weathering is very nicely done.
