Tamiya 1/35 M792 Gama Goat Ambulance now with figures

[Guest]

Thanks Lee, only its mother could love it :smiling5:

That's my kind of vehicle Jakko, but until one of the top brands makes a plastic version I wouldn't go anywhere near it.

I figured as much

but until one of the top brands makes a plastic version I wouldn't go anywhere near it.

The Perfect Scale kit is apparently fairly easy to build, but that will still be more involved than a moderately difficult plastic equivalent, and given the type and size of vehicle I doubt it’d make a good first resin kit in any case. Unfortunately I also doubt it would be a popular enough subject for plastic kit manufacturers

Thanks Paul.

Cheers Andy.

It seems like the ones I have the most fun with are the best received by you guys. Maybe there's a lesson in there.... :smiling5:

It seems we've lost the ability to edit thread titles, or I would have added "now with figures", so I'll just tack them on the end here and hope you see them :smiling3:

I'm definitely no figure painter but I guess there's only one way to get better, so I had a stab at these that were included in the box. The driver is in 6 parts so posing him to be looking the right way and have his arms in the right position without gluing him in his seat was tricky, and I had to make up a sling for the rifle, but apart from that they are out of the box. I didn't have all the right paints so again I mixed something close, basically based on buff, Russian Grey, Dark Rust & Smoke Black.

I think it's my first time trying to do eyes properly, and while the driver is a bit boz eyed, I'm happy with the stern look on pointy guys face.

A few of the pictures are a bit blurry, but I think that does me some favours! :smiling5:

Camo uniforms are nothing short of amazing. An overall well done. PaulE

[Guest]

Thanks everyone, glad you like it.

The camo was a bit of a head scratcher, but I just kept layering the different colours until it looked something like.

And cheers for the edit Tony :thumb2:
