I managed to get some paint onto the Limber today. Modelling will slow down as its back to work tomorrow :(
This is what it looks like before any weathering is done.

That Limber looks great Vincent. The tools really look so realistic. You must share with how you paint the wood.

Looks great so far. I assume the Jeep will be painted in Olive Drab? Any crew in store for the Jeep?

Thanks Shawn. It's a great little kit. :)

As far as the tools go, maybe I could post a small SBS on what I did?

Cheers,

Thanks Greg. Yes, it'll be Olive Drab for the Jeep definitely. :) Should make it stand out from the other two, though once they are covered in dust and dirt who knows. :roll:
I'm not sure about a crew though. :? That would mean I'd have to paint a figure and that's too scary to contemplate :shock:

I'll do my best on the weekend Shawn. ;)

I managed to make a start on the Jeep. For an older kit, it's quite good. :) This is the chassis.

Excellent work on the limber Vincent.

I must agree its gonna look an interesting combination, from choice of equipment through to the colour variations.
