What a superb model, your weathering is fantastic. 5* from me

Thats a cracking Jeep Polux.

Never seen one with its original factory labels in place and intact before, thats great detailing.

Thank you Andy and Mobear for your kind words!!

Some day Andy (Sky Rider) said me: ' There is something about building larger scale models. not quite sure may just be a bigger canvas that lets you add those more intricate details you would normally miss in on a smaller one ', and it's true!!! I learn many things doing it, perhaps the only problem is.... where I put it now? :poster_oops:

Thanks again and thanks for the 5* too!!

Hi Mobear!!

Your comment gave me an idea, I went "outdoor" to create this photos in the exterior and after weathering them in the computer.

Here have the result ... I believe that there is a couple of them that are very credible, as photos of file ancient.

Thanks for looking. Comments are well come (good or bad)

Have fun.

Now that is just stunning Polux, very nice work bud. Love the last pic in the 'old photos', you've got it just right with the sun. A big five stars from me bud.

Have fun, John

 

[Sky Raider]

That is one wicked build you got there. Floor-less, 5 stars from me. Looks so real mate. Well done.

Many thanks John for your kind words!

I love the last one too!!!

I'm sure your Tamiya's SAS and crew are looking for his lost desert "big friend"!! Oh my Good I'm lost too!! How many misions do you think they do together?? I hope they will do much more betwen them.

Have fun John, I said in your post, repeat now, really nice your jeep!

Many thanks Andy!

I still remember your words about large scale, and your actual thread give me 'inspiration' to do a big one, thanks.

Love the black and white photoes, keep pointing this kit out to missus every time were in the model shop, not worked as yet tho.

Only one niggle not your fault but the kit should have ammo tins every where and mines or explosive satchles.

apart from that 5*big ones.

That's gonne be some shelf and suppose you'll be getting the sherman in same scale? and end up in the dog house.

Nice one

Martin

 

[Polux]

Thanks Martin! I'm glad with your comments.

You have reason, complements and accessories are absent!! A jeep SAS always is a "lumber room" with wheels!! The figures of Dragoon scale 1/6 they have complements, I will look for information for if it's possible adquir slightly interesting to improve the kit.

And the Sherman...well, the time will say....

Best regards

Muchos kudos, that is a work of art my friend. What a stunner

 

[Dave1973]

Gorgeous model, fantastic work!

 

[grumpa]

Totally Awesome! Polux. great job not overdone, Excellent! Am building a 1/25 scale dozer and I thought THAT was big! 1/6 is just mind boggling to me. A least you don't need to worry too much about the carpet monster swallowing up the "little" bits when you drop them:D Jim

 

[aaron]

Polux, great stuff mate. I'd love to see it next to an item to show the size of the finished kit. Is it a motor pool build? Why is it so clean?


The details are heavenly. Wonderful work buddy.
