DBMiller's Tamiya Jeep - Redeux

[DBMiller]

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.

We shall keep the digital pruning lawnmower at bay this time

Looking good

Nicely restarted - and still nothing obviously snapped off

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!

How to make a simple subject very interesting, lots of clean work going on here

[Stokesy44]

Nice work. You dont realise how small the kit is from the photos, its a good clean build

[digger303]

Coming along nicely as they say.

[DBMiller]

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



Wheels are on!

[digger303]

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.

You driver has really lost his mind over this wonderful build
Great work so far

[Tomcat64]

That's coming along really nicely

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