Fov Jeep Dio (1 Viewer)

[Col. Hesler]

I'm now in the beginning stages of a dio including a jeep.
Okay, the first photo is of the plastery styrofoam, and the one above it is a plasticey thing for the base (broke 3 blades and one styro cutter trying to cut it). The next one is my ground cover supplies. Last is the jeep itself, I did a repaint of the driver that came with it to make him look like an airborne troop instead of a tanker. Anything I should do with the jeep to make it look better?

All done.

You may want to dry brush it to reflex mud or dirt and give a dark wash. Nice job with creating the overall dio.....The Lt.

I don't have a dry brush.

Great job on the small dio... I like the idea of small dios myself... So when is the next one coming?

I think I like the dry brushing idea....now I have to make a trip to the hobby store for paints and a high quality brush.

As for the next one, I have no idea, the ideas just come to me.

Col H,

If you're using a brush for drybrushing, I wouldn't bother going for a high quality one. Dry brushing knackers the brushes pretty quickly, so I'd just use either an old one, or buy a cheapy.

Although there is very little paint on it remember to wash it after you are done otherwise it will go hard. Then wait till it is dry completely before using.

 

[Jagdpanther]

Well no you dont have to buy a high quality brush.
