It looks good.  Great job on the jeep and the crew.

Thanks Gino! Great model to 'decompress' - the new Tamiya Jeep is a gem of a kit! And I've gotten to enjoy doing figures.

...the new Tamiya Jeep is a gem of a kit! 

Yes, I couldn't agree more.  I have already built two of them (one normal and one as a jeep in a crate; http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/3/t/136029.aspx?sort=ASC&pi240=1) and have a few more in the stash with special plans for them as well.

Nice looking build.  Really like how you depicted the crew, MP's and translator 

Thanks Rob!

Gino: Thanks for the link to the 'Jeep in a box' - I hadn't seen it before, not sure how I missed it, I think I was on the forum at the time. Great idea and love how the crate turned out.

I'll be picking up another Jeep or three for more projects in the future too!

Great job! I love the Korean "Soldier" on his helmet, someone might have mistaken him for a sailor if it wasn't for that little touch.

I too, had missed Gino's "Jeep in a box". Thanks for resharing it, Gino. I love that kind of stuff. Whenever we were issued new equipment, I always would try to find a way to keep one pristine and fresh to save for a rainy day. I would love to find one of these forgotten in a warehouse somewhere.

Hey SF- thanks!

Nice job! I would like to see more Korean War subjects, like a good T-34/85. it would look great at the side of the road smoking with your Jeep driving by lol.

Thanks Vorhut! Check out Stikpusher's Korean War GB over on the Group Build Forum. Lots of stuff there better than my effort here.

I have the AFV Club T34/85 which seems to be pretty close to the KW version. It has a full interior so I want to do her up as an abandoned/knocked out vehicle when I get the guts up enough to tackle it.

Nice job on the jeep and crew. Don't see too much for Korea so nice to have them represented!

I like your weathering job a lot.  More often than not I go too far with mine.

Thanks guys!

Actually other than the air pressure labels over the tires (which are covered in mud!) and the Korean writing on the passenger's helmet there's nothing to distinguish it a second world war vehicle.

And the mud is just a little acrylic stucco paint with Tamiya Earth sprayed over it and a little dry-brushing.

Love it, I agree, the Jeep is a great change of pace kit. Nice work on the figures.

Rounds Complete!!

Thanks! It was a fun build and yes a really nice change of pace. Hopefully now I can get back to the Tiger I'm doing for Tigerman's GB.

Thanks Gamera! I've been looking at the AFV one line, no hobby shops within 100 miles I spent a lot of time in Korea if you ever get there check out the War Museun by the National Cemetary in Seould and the war monument in "The Punch Bowl" some good vehicles on display...T-34's are rife

Jim

Thanks Jim! I've got to visit Korean one day and one of the first places I want to see is the War Museum. FSM member The Draken who worked for several years teaching English in the ROK has posted some great shots of the museum over on Stikpusher's GB. And if I may admit Korean women are some of the most beautiful I've ever seen...

Hi Cliff 

Nice work man. I like everything about it and also the poses of the figures are very natural and well done.

The MP's look perfectly at home in the jeep.

tread

Hey Tread, thanks! Think the Korean guy consists of about five different figures just to get a decent pose!

I spent my time on the DMZ as an Infantryman before the ROKA replaced the US Army there and latter in the JSA (Pan Mun Jom) with the UNCMAC Security Bn.

I'll let Soo-jin know that you think Korean women are amoung the most beautiful, lol, that's what she keeps telling me ;) Don't let her know but I think so too.

Jim

Jim: Hey thanks for your service, that must have been an interesting experience!

And about Korean women- well what can I say?  

Well done Cliff......:)

Hey Guney- thanks!
