"Aim to the right, a little" (Arab titel:تهدف إلى اليمين ق")

[tiking]

Been very busy with commission builds of late. Seem to be getting a lot of weathering jobs(which is fun), so that means less time to build for myself. But its all good. So not a lot of time for building for myself. But this little build got my attention. An Ak-Interactive technical jeep, which was a nice build on its own. The figures are older builds which I added for some atmospheric eye candy. Scale is 1/35.

Anytime I see one of your title lines for one of your builds I know I’m in for not only a completed build but a small story behind it and you’ve done just that once again. I enjoy the themes behind your work just as much as the model itself. Great attention to detail and your work in achieving realism is just as good.

 It's good to see you building something for yourself as well as I'm sure you get a LOT of requests to build something for others.

Fixed the title for you:

تهدف إلى اليمين قليلا 

Much appreciated. Will place it next to the english title.

Very nice and well done!

This is so well done. The figures are excellent and the detail painting on them is just fantastic. That guy's jeans are incredible! You nailed it!

Beautiful work!! That’s wonderfully done.

[stikpusher]

Very nice work all around! The two 'spray and pray" guys on the drivers side of the jeep crack me up!!!

Hehe! I think I know what you mean.

[handiabled]

So very well done! I really like the little details in this from the knocked over cone to the crushed water bottle. The whole scene really tells a story

On behalf of Toyota Land Cruiser owners, that is not a "jeep", it is much better.    Probably an FJ43.



Faux pas aside, what an awesome diorama. I love when you can look at a diorama and see a bunch of mini-stories within it.

Blasphemy!!! Land Cruisers dream of becoming jeeps one day!

[brandonk]

That is a very good and realistic build. Awesome work!

CCCCCCCCCCCCool !

Great little story line and very nice work on the figures.

Always a pleasure to get your comments Steve. Thanksa alot. THe backdrop was done 25 years ago by an art teacher of mine. There is suppose to be 4 sections, of a continous backdrop for a model railroad I had in mind at the time.

I gotta say, you figure painters are on another level. This is fantastic.

Its amazing when I read comments like yours about the figures. I consider myself a medium at best when it comes figure painting. I am not in the league as Steve Zuleski, for example. He's on a whole different, but I am working my way up his alley. Thank you for the uplifting compliment.
