...but no where else for it 
Because I haven't been getting any meaningful bench time of late, I made the decision to pick away at some of the smaller things in my stash. I reckoned that something that shows some progress after even 15 minutes of activity would help keep the mojo alive.
So to start with I chose Tamiya's 1970's vintage GAZ67 "Jeep". Nice straightforward build that didn't present any issues that were not solvable with a sanding stick and some plastic putty. (Sorry, for the lack of in-progress shots). Build was complete aftera little less than 2 hours total build time- still took best part of 2 weeks
Painted in a combination of Vallejo Russian green and olive drab primers with the seats etc picked out with a mixture of various green/ochre shades.
A light dry brushing with Ab502 olive green and then a combination of Vallejo , Mig & Humbrol pigments.
It is not quite finished -still needs steering wheel to be finished and some general clutter and "dressing" - flags, weapons and genericbooty yet to be added (to hide the very poor tilt supports at the rear).
Puppy from Tamiya livestock set- just for a bit of fun- also needs to be finished.
Trying it out on a previously made base- just to see what it looks like really
Angle of shot is pretty crap, but once I get things more finished I'll try to get some more decent ones.
as always
