Jeep

[AeroplaneDriver]

I had the bug to build another non-whiffed (or as some people call it "real") military vehicle, so I picked up an easy looking Tamiya 1/35 Jeep last week.

I think this will be my last non-whiff for a while as I have a project on deck that involves an NMF finish, the Tennessee Air National Guard decals from an F-104, a pair of Bullpup missiles, and a certain 1/72 scale replica of a lovely Sydney Camm design...

anyhoo...the Jeep;

I just got a new airbrush (a cheapo Aztek set).  It came with some acrylic paints and sinceI've been toying with the idea of switching from enamels I decided to use the acrylics on this model.  I really enjoyed using the Testor's Acryl paints, and I love the cleanup!

Cute job, I always preferred the SMP over the civvy version. Spent many a bone-jarring hour in those things!

Nice job!

Yeah me too, and when I started using Misterkit and Gunze Sangyo paints I really love the paint job and the finish i get too. Can't wait to try out Xtracrylics.

And I love that Jeep, it just just, I dunno just really really Neat. Can't articulate I just love.

I need to do some armour or a car for a change.

Looks damn nice.  And a real-world armor/truck build is a good break from airplanes spaceships and whiffery.  And those tamiya kits are almost too friendly to build.

I've been using the Testor's Acryl lately, too, spraying with my Badger 150.  I just thin them a hair with some alcohol, and they go on really nicely.

You're one talented modeler!  

That looks sooooo real!

Damm, that is one nice looking jeep. It looks as though it just needs a driver to come and drive it away
