Yes this is a real world subject but this was built for using it in pics of some of my upcoming what-if models.

This is the little Tamiya 1/48 scale WWII jeep that came with the U.S. Infantry at rest kit from Tamiya.
The kit of the jeep is terrific and fun to build, the figures are not nearly as good as the jeep and have soft details making them not much fun to paint.

That quarter really puts the small size into perspective! Even more impressive!

Very, very nice! :thumbsup: 'specially the second b/w photograph.

Now you only need a filter that'll add some creaks and discolourations and nobody will be any the wiser! :lol:

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Thanks guys!

The jeep, figures, and the U.S. Army staff car that I just started to build are to be used in the background in pics of some of my what-ifs...including my Fw 190 A-10. I will ''age'' the pics quite a bit, can't wait to see these will turn out.
