About this deal
Made a wash using a mixture of yellow, orange, light brown and a spot of black oil paints mixed with white spirit and applied it all over the base.

Post WW2 they carried the mandatory Mil-Reg plates in the form 10 FG 54 (as an example) and nothing else other than tyre pressure and oil type stencils. The PVA glue base was interesting, I squeezed a load onto a wooden base in the shape I wanted and carefully evened it out (which is quite a hard job as it sticks to whatever you use as a spreader/flattener).A round-headed dressmaker's pin is a better bet than trying to clean up an injection moulded gear lever. I'll tidy up the wheels before assembly and some of the darker areas are more to do with bad lighting for the photos, but I just can't seem to get the interior of the back of the jeep sprayed nicely.

Commando Green - The Royal Marines and those attached ranks who have passed the All Arms Commando Course. Most of the coat I'm very pleased with - then there's the 2 enormous paint splats on the bonnet and the one on the mudguard! I'm having to use the flash on my camera at the moment, which is really washing out a lot of the detail in the photos. One slight annoyance is that I have a couple of German-style jerry cans that I wanted to use, but they are slightly larger than the allied ones, and won't quite fit into the storage rack that I've built.
Also if one was used in europe, got a case of tin worm, got repainted and shipped to Africa then you would get corrosion wouldn’t you? Being R/H, the right-hand eye was not to bad to do (unless, and this happened a lot, I'd get the shakes as my hand got closer to the figure ). Rifle Green - The Rifles (light infantry by tradition), The Small Arms School Corps, the Royal Ghurka Rifles, the Essex Yeomanry.
