Great Build !!! The jeep and the Sherman tank always been my favorites. I don't know how I missed this build. Hope you and your loved ones are safe ! Take care, Tony
Feb. 2018---Great build and thanks for showing it off. After 15 years, felt my modeling mojo wanting to come back in late 2016. Thing is, didn't want to go back to aircraft/armor because of the amount of time I found myself putting into each one. Like finishing one model every month, sometimes it'd be one model every 3 months and when you have 1,500+ unbuilt kits in your stash.... Zombie/apocalypse themes seem very popular today in the movies & on tv, so wondered if anyone was building those kind of dioramas. Boy, I was shocked how many people are into these themes, along with an uncounted number of paintings of survivors, damaged/destroyed homes/cities, etc. Been hooked since. My military vehicle, figures, etc. are all in 1/35th scale and go from WW 2 to Vietnam. Going to use many of them as mil surplus. Found there's a web site called Steel Soldiers where people have a lot of mil surplus vehicles they restore in their former military colors/unit markings. And yes, have added at least a dozen new vehicle kits to my collection. Have a list of about 2 dozen dioramas I'd like to build, but need to finish 3 that I've started. They're going to be called Childhood Lost, The Fountain and The Alley. Looking at your jeep, thought of another. How about this jeep in the snow w/tire chains on it and calling it: Dashing thru the snow, in a 4hp sleigh...with zombies trying to keep up? Though the gun mount/machine gun would have to go, add a winch to the front and a canvas top. Not sure about canvas doors right now. Again, thanks for the video.
Thank you, actually I'm not into those kind of post apocalyptic projects and dioramas as well. Im just building 1/35 WWII armour and I lined them up like automotive gallery owner haha. I just like the vehicles. Im kinda fast builder, I'm 25 years old but I have 100 + WWII vehicles (only 1/35). I'm thinking as like a collector. So I guess I can't help you about that projects but thank you for all your kind words!
Nearly 4000 views and only one comment??? Well here's number 2. Well done, I especially like the colours on the engine, but it all looks great, I'm just a beginner with only 3 finished kits under my belt. Haven't started dioramas yet but that is my intention once I've got the figures and vehicles to a standard I'm happy with. Hopefully I'll get them as good as this one day, I'm a fair way off yet but some of your detailing has given me a bit of extra insight in what to set out to achieve, thank you for sharing, regards, Allan
Thank you for all your kind words Allan, I'm glad you liked it. Keep your motivation to build more kits, never give up. Eventually you'll be great modeller. Im an amateur too, don't forget it's not about building great models it's all about how you enjoy it. So my only advice is just have some fun and build more models as you can. After 10-20 kits you'll realize how easy it is and you'll be a great modeller. Whatever people say just go on and build many kits as you can! And you can check my channel for other kits I've build. Cheers my friend!
