DBMiller's Tamiya Jeep - Redeux

Repost of my build thread of the 1/35 Scale Tamiya WW2 Jeep that I began on January 11, 2026.

This is the version I'm building:

Started gluing! (From January 20th).

Some priming and painting started! I think the Tamiya Olive Drab looks a bit too dark. I have Model Master Acrylic that looks better or I could mix a bit of yellow Tamiya into the OD.

I haven't been keeping up with posting my progress so here is an image dump of what's been going on with the jeep. As of these shots I still have work to do on the wheels / tires before they can be glued on and some touch up painting on the vehicle itself before I can get the rest of the bits together. At least there are only about half a dozen decals!

Hey, guys!

Started on the white fenders for this version.

Just needs the "glass".

Looking good. Not being a rivet counting nerd, just trying to help, you may want to paint the black/rubber on the windshield wipers before you add the glass. Nice work on the rifle and colors of the seat cushions.

Thank you for the heads up - I never gave the wipers a thought! :th:

Getting so much closer to the end! :banana:
Most of the little parts are on - but NOT the side view mirror. ;)

Wheels are on!

It looks great and still a few details to do, but almost there.
If your going to add the figure I hope the steering wheel isn't fixed in place.

Oh, it is! I may have left off the side mirror but I still wanted a little danger in my life. The figure JUST fits behind it. If I'm careful.

Just don't trust that pesky mirror - it'll pretend it's your friend and then <ping>

ALL the decals are on! :banana:

Gloss coat added before the weathering begins (and I finally add the side view mirror)!
After that - the windows will be attached.

Almost done! :banana:

Decals on and first pass at weathering applied. It's messy now, but after toning it down a bit (quite a bit) it should look less like it was just pulled out of a swamp.

Decals on!

Weathering!

Great job.

I really like the subtle changes in colour hue and how all the detail has been picked out. The bodywork has got that beautiful metallic effect.

Hubs and tires are nicely done too :clap: :clap: :clap:

Thank you! The metallic effect is from a mechanical pencil lightly rubbed on the surface and blended a bit.
