nice to see another jeep look forward to watching you build and get some tips from your three builds

Chassis ready for painting a few fidgety parts, but mainly straight forward

Can't have too many jeeps. Must have well over twenty.

Well said my friend indeed you do.

Most know that Dragon is not known for the best instruction plans, poor visuals, no wording, no paint guide, Not great however I have built enough ships of sail following blueprints that it’s no big deal. The upside is especially for newer builders think it pushes the use of more reference material to figure out the look you are going for. So weathered the engines and chassis. nice little engines used them to test some weathering ideas even if they will not be seen.

bodies are coming along, first attachments are in, much more to go

almost ready for the weapon phase , & sun compass. for weapons I prefer to scratch build as much as I can as in the twin fifty Cals I did for my PT 105 build

 

[minitnkr]

An outstanding pair of pairs.

Winter is a slower time on the smaller builds , mainly woodworking time, however did add a little more on the stowage , also some asked about what references I have been using , 3 of the main ones.

 

[scottie3158]

Mike,
Looking good.

 

[mog]

Back to the SAS build, I always take some winter time to work on wood builds, so picking up where I left off with jeep 1 I have not worked a lot with 1/35 for some time. Some readjusting needed but so far it’s a fun build with allot of opportunities get creative

 

[scottie3158]

Looks very nice mate.

 

[mog]

All three finished , will be placing on the base next
