hi mates,here’s the latest of the bench [;)] it’s the one from tamiya with scratchbuild rear storagerack and windscreencover made from a old handkerchief filled with some scrapbox stuff to repressend the personale storage the windscreencover was used by the GI’s . also the rear was lowerd by 3mm and the reartires were flattend a bit and rebuild with putty to get a loaded look . the right frontsuspension was cranked up a bit so when used later in a dio it will be on top of some debrise when comming around a bend [:p], anyway hope you like it and comments are always greatly appreciated [:D]

Luc.

Nicely done! I like the windshield cover and other details you’ve added. The model definitely gives you the impression of being “loaded down”.

Well done…

3

NICE JOB! really like the weathering and figures… nice job on all the stowage and “extras” as well…

4

Wow, fantastic job. This little thing really is a gem. The overall finish exhudes presence and character. Thanks for the pics! [:)]

Looks pretty good. Antenna looks way too long though. They were usually only about 6 feet long. Looks too low in the rear to me for the amount of gear being carried. Jeep suspensions were pretty hard and didn’t give much under a normal load as your vehicle is carrying. Even with trailers attached they tend not to sag too much.

Great job. I hope mine turns even half as good as that. Look forward to seeing the dio.[:D]

Excellent build!
The figures are superb, too!

look at this guy’s antenna:

Looks really nice. Motivates me to get started on my jeep for the GB. I like how you partially flattened the tires and lowered the suspension…

Nice job Luc, I had a surplus MB that I bought when I was in high school, and oldy but a goody! even twenty years after the war it was still reliable–again, great job

Nice build Luc…detail and weathering very impressive. I was wondering about the lenght of the antenna also, but after looking at the other picture, what can I say. I do wonder though and I have never done any research on the subject…if different radio sets required different lenght antennas. May have to crack the books. OK…I’m rambling. Again great build.[tup][tup]

Excellent build Luc. Should be great in a diorama. Thanks for sharing.

thanks for the comments mates [;)] as for the rear rack [:(] sorry the pic. did not came out like i wanted ([:(!] camera) it’s constructed with placticard strips (just like making a basket) and stuffed with ammo boxes,extra jerrycan, a (seems like) oilcanister from the sparebox, and a tripod for the .50 cal.,shovel and a lenght of steel wirerope. and the .50 cal is from the academy US machinegun set no. 1384 with the ammobox there 14 pieces to put together [:p] i think prob. the best on the market regarding machineguns(well it’s the best buy i did [;)])

Looks really good, but the antenna is wayyy too thick; In that scale the antenna should be roughly 1/2 the diameter or less… The base mount of it should be about 1" scaled to the figures, in scale it appears the antenna would be about 2 to 3 inches across…
