Hello all!

I would love to participate in this nice SiG with Tamiya's 1/35 British SAS kit.
This entry will be a neat little, cheap and tidy little diorama.
I do hope to try something new and show it best i can :)

Who Dares Wins

The build is fairly easy at this stage. Some filler here and there but overall, a fun little gem :thumb2:

Ready to prime tomorrow morning

Looks great. I done this kit last year!! Fair play for old figures you've painted them well.

Nice progres so far
It is one of the iconic specialized vehicles of WWII and in my opinion one of the best looking with all the guns they added to it
I don't know if it is a real/original one but there is one of these jeeps in the Dutch War and Resistance museum so i had the chance to see it up close but it can be a reproduced vehicle
I like the chipped look of this build
Allthough the jeep is a basic design you can add so much character to these SAS vehicles
Keep up the good work

Saw your build thread today , and just to mention that is going really nice, love the chipping technique with the sponge , it is very simple , also I did the same to my :th: .

Then you did a fantastic paint job on those figures , and your build is going nicely ! Great !

Will enjoy to see it complete !
