Earlier this past summer ('03) I ventured away from my usual arena of absorption. Researching and building WW II German panzers and such is how I spend most of my valuable "hobby" time here on earth. However, sometimes just for a change of pace I will wander off into the Allied side of things. Well one of these roamings is to be the subject of this blog. A first attempt at building the newer Tamiya release of the venerable Willys Jeep of W.W. II. I have not used any photo-etch in the 1/35th scale replica but I have added a few scratch built tweaks and some stowage to add interest. For reference I searched the internet and a used an articles from Tamiya Modelling Magazine #65. |

| Chapter 9 - Rust Never Sleeps | Apr 22, 2004 |
The top picture shows how I have picked out the rust with Humbrol 133 on the exhaust manifold, pipe, and muffler. The leaf springs received some too. Most of this will disappear in subsequent weathering but it adds another layer.
The lower shot shows the wheels after the tires were painted grimy black and the circumfrence given an initial dusting with a dirt colour from Polly Scale. |
