It's already pre-weathered. A little overdone; but not bad.

Diamond in the back, sun roof top, gangsta ladies, by your side!

Wow, baby moons, absolutely the most crystal clear windscreen I've ever seen, whitewalls, no EPA junk to cut horsepower, can be used to latch on to big pickup and do safe drafting... and I bet you can get 10 miles per gallon. But don't forget, this baby has a carb, no fuel injectors like the FW190, so let it warm up before trying to out run the Heat!

Not enough chipping.....

April 4 2012, 4:48 AM 

Goodness Tom,

Anyone who has been to a model show in the last decade would know that military vehicles should have much more chipping and rust, even after a few weeks of service. You will also need to bend the fenders for realism, as this happened to every vehicle, apparently.

I suggest some red-brown streaks along the side, to indicate where your Jeep has been scratched against something. Again, this happens to every military vehicle, on every surface, no matter how difficult it would be to scratch the paintwork there. Also, don't forget to rub graphite on every edge, to show wear down to bare metal. However, keep the floor of the Jeep quite clean, with just dust effects in the corners and some worn paint. Remember, soldiers always carefully clean their boots of mud before getting into a vehicle. Always put lots of gloopy wet mud on the running gear and sides of the vehicle, but none where people walk.

With a bit of work, this could look exactly like models at shows.

Fairly realistic, especially the building

April 4 2012, 6:53 AM 

Although it's a bit over-weathered, the finish on the building behind it is very convincing - how did you achieve that? Must have taken years.... Remember that at least half of any figures you put in it need to be pointing at something.

The real deal..

April 8 2012, 3:25 PM 

Hello Tom, looks like you have the elusive rear seat. How about the guages, fuel tank, and engine and tranny? If all of those are present you have a sweet looking base for restoration. Are you going motor pool or factory fresh? Is this your first real Jeep? If so a real good hangout is the G503 web board. Those guys know their stuff!
