dshue76 Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) This is a build that was supposed to be a "slump buster" build, but like all builds for me it took a little longer than expected. It took me hours to find the bumper markings I wanted and rather than delay the build even longer by trying to come up with decals for the bumper markings I hand painted them with a toothpick. All paint (except for the rear lights) is craft acrylic, I mixed the paint by eye. It has washes of craft paint and then sidewalk chalk and make-up for weathering. The unit numbers on the bumper are from a picture I found of a Jeep belonging to the 326th Airborne Medical Company which supported the 101st Airborne Division. Of course my Jeep doesn't have the litter racks that the 326th used. Edited September 7, 2018 by dshue76 add
dshue76 Posted September 7, 2018 Author Posted September 7, 2018 Here are the mounted guns that I didn't use on the build but painted anyway,
Jim N Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 Looks nice! Dirty and grimey just the way they would have been in the field.
David G. Posted September 14, 2018 Posted September 14, 2018 Nicely done! Spot on for the paint mix. I built one of these last month, it's a tidy little kit. A fun build. David G.
