I am starting a new project of an SAS Jeep in North Africa. I will be doing a small Diorama of the Jeep in the desert. I will be using the Academy's Ground Vehicle Set and will build the US Jeep.

New photos up today. I am starting to think about all the gear my little jeep will need and started weathering. I am going to do a base for the jeep and will show how I made it also.

I added some of the start of the base photos. In the end I did not use the PE PSP and the 1/72 ammo belts. More photos up soon.

That's some fine work there John. I know that Academy box very well and you've made it look beautiful! I love how the base is coming along too.

Thanks Greg. It's been fun so far. I like doing a simple bases for my projects. Your bases are outstanding as well. Hope to rap this project up this weekend.

Great work John, as always. It's funny, for the first time I understand why a lot of people ask about putting figures into my Tintin builds. It does seem like that would be a nice addition, even if it is a bit understandably hard to manage in this scale.

Thanks Greg, I would have like to have added figures if I could fine some nice ones. All of the ones I have are just horrible. I liked the way the SAS Jeep turned out. It's the first time I used Pigments in a project and I may be doing more Armor in the future.

Looks great 👍 I like these Academy ground vehicles, not seen this particular one.
