Very nicely done, appears you learn very quickly. I have seen a set of resin figs. on the evil-bay that may look right at home. If i spot them again i'll get you a link to them.

Hey thanks DF, always looking out for me!

Ok so many many many colorful words and 3 broken parts later, i have added the vacuum lines for the wipers. Also noted is the toolbox added to the rear. Lines were made with florist wire.



 

I need a smoke...

The vacuum line is brilliant! A great little detail that puts this build over the top!

Man, that looks great. The vacuum lines, toolbox, seat painting all are things that really make the jeep stand out. I do have a couple of suggestions though. I see that your windshield looks fogged up. Is that from a dull coat that you've applied? I mask my windshields off with tape that I cut to the size of the wipers to get the correct look. I've found that after applying the dull coat that the windshield looks pretty realistic. Also, that jeep will bounce around quite a bit. If you're going to place any stowage up there with your toolbox, you might want to tie it down.

cwalker3,

Thanks for the compliment!

The dust you see on th windshield is actually from the pastels when i weather i weather everything then i clean it up as i go. I have had a few suggest the wiper masks and i will be using those when the dullcoat is ready to go on.

I agree with the toolbox, still trying to figure out how i wanna hold it down, suggestions welcome.

OH for all i have ordered the Tamyia Allied vehicle accessory pack so that will help really bring this to life!
