The new Bantam Jeep (1 Viewer)

[NZGary]

Well it arrived yesterday and in time for a Good Friday diorama. I don't tend to get many WW2 vehicles. No reason other than you can't buy everything and my TS passion at the moment is on ancients - if you haven't checked out the TG Spartans I urge you to do so. I picked up the shield variations from the last release and they are very good. Anyway back to the jeep. I think it works well in a jungle setting. I didn't pick up the Aussie figures from the latest release but it works well with some of the older figures I suppose. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Its also reasonably priced but probably won't be around for long

Hi Garry. I love this little jeep! I am planning to buy, but not for the jungle; I have mine planned for N. Africa. Your dio is superb. The jeep really fits in with the lush vegetation as you've created for a formidable jungle.

How is the overall quality of this little guy? Is it heavy or really light? Also, do the wheels turn easy or rough?

The price is certainly right. Would like to hear your thoughts on the quality.

Hi
Quality is good with excellent detail and paint job shows good weathering. Very light and wheels turn.

Thank you, Gary for giving us a good look at the TG Jeep.
I have it on my scope for use with the K&C AF (Boyington) series. They have a Jeep (AF036) that includes a rider, but I would like another (or two)
Jeep that is empty.

Do you have the K&C Jeep? ^&confuse I suspect that the TG Jeep and the K&C Jeep will go well together.

Splendid photos on a very interesting setup. Is that the San Diego Toy hut in the back ground? If it is it appears you did a masterful job of weathering.

Hi Larry. No don't have the K&C jeep - so don't know how well they would go together. As I said earlier I am not a big WW2 or vehicle collector preferring ancients, medieval up to renaissance eras. But I do have a little covering most WW2 theaters of operations. See 'Gary's collection' on the dioramas page for the range of stuff I collect if you are interested. As for the larger bamboo hut its an old airfix kit I put together.
